They are encouraged to “pick” up after pets.
Why not just encourage smokers to curb their butts?
I always do.
Naw, it is easier to treat smokers like vermin.
I HATE SMOKE NAZI’S!!!
The vast majority of smokers WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES discard of their butts appropriately.
This has been going on for decades in Hawaii and smokers have been given decades of chances to change their ways. They WILL NOT. Period. They are militant that they don’t have to follow any littering rules.
They had a chance to prove they could be responsible and good citizens. They ARE NOT (again the vast majority).
Sorry that responsible smokers have to be lumped in with them, but enough is enough.
I have witnessed this first hand for decades. Smokers are not going to change. Ever.
Smokers do not own the beaches.
And I resent that I now have to pay for people to go out and enforce a rule that should be common sense and common decency.
I RESENT IT!
