So here in the tiny state of Delaware up until last year all animal control issues were handled by the county. Bearing in mind we have three counties in Delaware, that’s all. Effective this year, all animal control is under the auspices of a new bureaucracy….the Delaware Office of Animal Control Where All Things Animal are Dealt With and We Will Never Ever Go Away….The DOACWATAADWAWWNEGA for short.
Here in Sussex county, the ONLY county worth anything in this state, animal control was handled fairly well though sometimes you had to call Dover, maybe Wilminigton….whatever….I’ve got animals all over the place and had to be involved all of this from time to time.
So I’m not necessarily AGAINST statewide control of Animal Control so long as they don’t pass laws making it illegal for dogs to bark, or even breathe as my fine, nice neighbor would have it.
I have been involved with many local animal control ordinances here in Sussex, once stopping a dog barking ordinance that…well you got know they’d find me guilty and string up me and my dogs on coastal highway to illustrate what happens to people who let their dog barks.
Heh, and that’s almost how I phrased it when I commented before the Sussex county council. They wouldn’t dare pass that thing and the newspapers were there as well….one came home with me and I was on TV that night.
Heh. You people got to stop me but no, y’all let me go on and on.
So now the state is taking over and guys, I’m on it.
Stay tuned for part 2 as I get involved with northern Delaware Democrats and the new head of Delaware’s Animal Control…..this is so good I ought to charge.
YOU LET YOUR DOGS BARK!!?
I don’t do that, and I live out in the sticks. I can’t stand it.
