Yes, in a few towns I've visited in Northern California, there are hiking trails that do not allow dogs, and apparently more in the works (to ban dogs) - b/c of so-called environmental reasons.

Here is a nice feel-good story about dogs:

A big problem is undisciplined owners that don’t discipline their dogs. If they have kids, they usually aren’t well disciplined either.

If I walk in the woods on my property, I often have my 5 prong pitchfork or machete in hand.

Another step to appease the moslems while appearing to be “green”.

Anything originating with the Guardian has to be treated with the same contempt as if it were from CNN or MSNBC.

Geez, didn’t think that undisciplined kids were that much of a menace. Usually you can scare them off just by mentioning work.

I laughed really hard at that picture until I realized it wasn’t real. The beet in the foreground’s center of gravity is over the edge.

Leave it to the left to be for reimporting a wife-beating gang member, and against dogs. These people are batschit crazy.

The only environmental impact my dogs have is the bombs they drop that I step in.

I was fishing in a local park, yesterday. A guy (30 something) that lives in his van with his dog was fishing, and a 60-something year old woman asked him about the solar panel array on top of his van. They talked for a while, and she kept walking. I told him he’d probably be a big hit if he was in the park today when they close it off to celebrate Earth Day. His response was great...”What the hell is Earth Day?” I gave him a bit if an overview. I’ll see if he engages anyone, and let him draw his own conclusions. I told him to be sure to include the part about the child slave labor mining the materials for the solar panels. I’m sure he’ll be happy to know his dog is now in their crosshairs.

Ha!

Well, the kids in this rural wooded area seem mostly disciplined. There is one pitbull in the neighborhood that once in a while I see off his master’s property. He has seen me and my pitchfork a few times. I yell, “Go home”, pointing in that direction, and he leaves.

For not being secured he stays home pretty good, just barks a lot. Too many trees and at least 100 yards too far from my property border for my electronic bark control gadget to train him.

That thing worked good on another dog in the opposite direction. The mutt was left all day on a chain, barking seemingly half the time.

Within a week it learned not to bark much at all. The owners probably still wonder why fido almost entirely quit barking, after being a noise machine for a couple of years.

Is this their plan to get rid of dogs to appease the muslims?
