Our message is simple:
While we have presented reams of
data to Leg. Fields showing that dog parks do not harm the environment, that they
are a benefit to local communities, and that there is a real need for dog owners to
have a safe and legal place for their dogs to exercise and socialize, Leg. Fields
will not be swayed from her anti-dog owner efforts. She has:
-
Co-sponsored legislation that
would gut a law allowing the creation of dog parks in Suffolk County parks (11/02).
Fields chairs the Suffolk Legislature’s Parks Committee!
-
Told Newsday
that Coindre Hall was no place for a dog park and vowed to shut it down (9/02).
Coindre Hall currently is the larger of just two dog parks in all of Suffolk County!
-
Voted against CEQ
approval of a dog run at Coindre Hall (3/02)
This is what
people need to know: We need dog
parks; Ginny Fields is anti-dog owner and anti-dog; dog owners are taxpayers, too;
our dogs are home alone all day and need playtime in a safe and legal dog park; dogs
need exercise; dogs need to socialize and play with other dogs; a walk around the
block is insufficient; county parks are for all the people; there are more than
1,000 dog parks throughout the U.S., and Suffolk County needs to get on board!
Details on who to contact and how. Send us copies of
your letters and e-mails so we can see how we’re doing!
