With the Presidential Election coming up, and so many issues of utmost concern to the general public being raised. I think it is important that we all have a voice and be vocal about those concerns we, as citizens have in our everyday lives.
Social media is allowing us to see the concerns that others
have and also know that we are not alone in our worries. Some of the various issues and stressors we face
many of our neighbors in our very same communities to do.
Recently I was linked to a site called NextDoor.com and I am
continually seeing growing concerns over the same topic over and over for at
least as long as the Presidential campaign has been running. I would like to
speak out on behalf of the citizens that are finding this issue intolerable and
are writing such emails that are full of hatred and condemnation comments and
accusatory in nature. I think these are serving to segregate our neighborhoods
as opposed to unifying them much like our country.
In years past, when security within neighborhoods was a
major concern, watchdog groups were set up and established. Police officers
came into communities and helped neighborhoods set up safety patrols right
within their very streets they lived.
This was extremely effective. It discouraged bad delinquent behavior and violators were
caught.
So I am advocating someone take the bull by the horn and
suggest our elected running public officials add on to their current campaign
issues mandatory Poop Patrol but have it pushed back to the States to be
handled in each individual community.
There is far too much animosity building from neighbors being accused of
leaving droppings in other people’s yards. This is harmful to our children to
be raised in communities where vile things are being said right within their
very homes when at times, the perpetrator may be their very own BFF!
Just recently, I received an email via social media, as did
everyone connected in my subdivision where each of us was called out as being uncivilized
and worthy of having bagged dog poop placed back in our yard. My fear was that I would walk out to discover
some dog’s manure on my property when my dog’s droppings are always proudly
disposed of in Target bags, be it the occasional Wal-Mart bag.
I have read several heated exchanges over the dog’s duty not
being properly, shall we say, scooped up.
I fear the day is going to be forthcoming where neighbors may begin
labeling others and become somewhat biased towards others that are dog-owners.
As a dog owner, I do not wish to be discriminated against simply because of someone
else’s lack of doing the right thing, proper due diligence.
The only reasonable course of action, as this problem seems
to be unfolding in many other neighborhoods across social media, is to take a
universal approach. Poop patrols should
be advocated and be a bipartisan measure.
Each state should advocate communities push neighborhoods to delegate someone
to monitor social media. This stream of
emails, postings and chatter must be curtailed early on and the watch dogs need
to be within the very areas they are occurring thus, saving tax payers money on
this issue. Who wants to put out money for a Poop Control, seriously? As a side note, it is extremely distasteful to
be eating a snack, checking email and read these disgusting detailed emails
about doggie messes in the yard. Where
has the discretion gone in America?
Please, if you agree, start a petition to your local
representative for the need for action for Poop Reform.
If not, the next measure could be neighbors building unbreachable
walls in their yards and charging the offending dog owners the cost of
construction!
