The City of Malibu is placing a $15 million bond measure on the ballot to purchase land, which the majority usage shall be “for the children’s” playing fields, etc. They are asking the many senior citizens, who by virtue of living long have the most expensive residences, to really foot the large portion of the bill. These same people have not and will not provide one dog park for a city which has a huge dog population.
To many people their dog is in essence “like a child,” and indeed is more faithful and more loving than any child.
Why should these seniors and others who love dogs pay for fields to support children only. Unless the City of Malibu immediately creates a dog park, which it has promised to do for years, to show good faith now to dog owners, then dog owners should fight strenuously to prevent passage of the $15 million bond measure.
Incidentally, dog attacks, which you seem to love to write about, would markedly diminish if a dog park is available.
