It is fairly expensive to repair lawn burns, and I understand why people wouldn't like the look. Establishing a fine system seems to be the "fairest" way to pay for this. Other ways to pay would be to raise everyone's dues, or raise only dog owners' dues, neither alternative very fail in my opinion. Fining only those dogs that are causing the problem is very just, and I'm sure they are hoping the offending dog owners will just curb their dogs. However, it does seem that male dog owners will get bum wrap, because of all the leg lifting with no peeing, so I suggest you use a "bum wrap" or belly band when walking in certain areas. |
