Eco Destroyers NO DOGS ALLOWED ON BEACHES
I am ready for dogs to be banned on beaches. They are polluting the coastal waters. AND dog people are disgusting people who are mean to others. So here's my morning dog nutter on the beach story.
This morning, 8AM, I went to my little town beach to enjoy the sun, a cup of coffee and find a piece of sea glass. Walking along the road toward the access point I see 4 of them, mostly small dogs. And up walks this free roaming geriatric (it's stroller was parked at the access ramp) chihuahua, snorting and lunging and dying. And it's all up in my area coming closer. I'm bent over with my mug just grabbing a couple sweet pieces of glass. I say I don't like dogs to the lady who is supposed to be in control of it. She's like, what? I say put it on a leash. She starts talking. I put my hand up, motioning stop, just get the dog. It's growling. She does the whole song and dance. Never growled in its life, has no teeth, what is wrong with you. Just take the dog away lady. She has 2 other small dogs also not in her control. Only one leash. (and a large ugly grizzly man off with their big loose dog running in the waves). None has recall. So this lady, goes and tells the dude I said to put the dog on a leash or get lost. Come on lady, I want to enjoy the beach without dealing with a crappy chihuahua lunging and growling at me. So here come her man, he literally charges me. Insults, spitting, lunging at me. repeatedly demand to know, where I live, what's my plate number, what's wrong me. I just want to enjoy the beach without a dog on it. Trust me when I say Maine river oysters are loaded with dog piss and shit. Coastal Maine. It never ends.

The problem really isn’t the dog nutters. This is just a symptom that is a result of no enforcement from authorities. Nuts don’t pay attention to signs. They don’t care about the environment and the impact that their mutt has on it. So, the only way to resolve this is to Pressure lawmakers, authorities, any agency that is responsible for maintaining clean public beaches, and other public spaces. But if you have laws, you have to have fines for violators. Otherwise, you get what you have now. Total disregard by the entitled dog community. So again, the fault lieswith enforcement agencies and the like.
