because any and all dogs in this concrete jungle we call New York City
should have a place where they can run freely - as they were naturally born
to do. |

Most dog owners in the city are responsible pet owners. Most of us pick up
after our dogs. Our dogs need to be allowed off-leash because they need
daily workout so that they don't become aggressive. It's unfair
that the mistakes of a few less responsible people ruin it for all the dogs
and dog people in the city. |

dog owners constitute a significant cohort in the city population. there
have been remakably few incidents as a result of off the leash dogs in any
park. dog owners have rights as do any citizens. it is not unreasonable to
ask that our generally non-disruptive animals be allowed off the leash
durinng off hours at the park. it is not terribly difficult to avoid the
limited areas where dogs congregate during these hours.

this seems like a reasonable compromise, if the dog park is constructed in
a size and manner that truly allows for the dogs to exercise by running and
playing. It is unfortunate that the lack of responsibility on the part of
some dog owners, and the over-reaction of some non-dog owners have led to
this. Dogs are a healthy part of many people's lives. Removing
off-leash privileges without giving back a dog park for them to exercise
would result in angry owners and unfit dogs that will not be well-behaved. |

Having had a dog in the city for four years, I attest personally to the
responsible ownership of the vast majority of dog owners who control and
clean up after their dogs more carefully than most parents manage their
children in public. |

We live in a crowed city with not much open green space - public or
private. Unlike the vast majority of those living outside NYC, most of us
don't have back or front yards to allow our dogs the freeedom they
deserve as living beings. Public parks with off-lease hours and public dog
runs (with well known usage laws) are our only alternatives. Don't
punish the dogs. Most owners are responsible. If anything, strengthen the
penalties for owners who disobey the usage laws. But don't hurt the
dogs. |

deprive. Please do not take this joy away from them. |

Amanda Curtin :
Off-leash hours allow our community to come together and dogs and their
owners to enjoy a shared, public space. The real nuisance is people who
litter or misuse the park space; dog owners participating in off-leash
hours are generally a conscientious group and community who are part of the
solution--not the problem-- to providing safer, cleaner parks. Those who
dislike off-leash dogs may enjoy the park during its regular on-leash
hours.

exercise is a vital component of a sound dog. without a place to properly
and freely exercise our pets, you will see an increase in
"incidents" involving dangerous dogs and aggression. |
