Was the dog on a leash? Was there a leash law in this community? If so, why did Mark Kelly completely disregard this law?
On all state beaches in Kaleefawneeyuh you are required to leash your dog at a minimum and on may beaches they are prohibited.
If you go to 17 mile drive it is the law your dog be leashed and it is absolutely the right thing for that area.
There ground squirrels everywhere as well as birds, pinnepeds and other distractions that can result in unnecessary and irresponsible harm to wildlife, children and adults, even other dogs.
The beach is rife with distractions that can override even the best disciplined dog and having them on a leash is the best practice for everyone.
Mark Kelly violated local and federal laws by allowing his dog off leash, which then attacked and killed federally protected wildlife.
I checked the local ordinance which required your dog be learned and state law requiring the same.
Further, he is/was prohibited from taking wildlife, muchless taking its life.
