Could some though process go into stopping people from letting their dogs just run anywhere and everywhere Why are the soccer moms treated like the own the park, street, ....the WORLD sure let them push their strollers and kids of course in the strollers when someone runs over them is there any question who fault it will turn out to be hear the squealing now..." it was my baby...you ran over a child Blah..Blah...blah. but in all the non-wisdom of the board somehow they just can not see or understand ...or are scared to say anything about mommies going anywhere they want with the kiddies in the strollers.. it will be somebody's fault but not the strollers in the middle of the street won't be their fault What ever happened to the parking spots that were taken up when the museum increased their square footage? Why are all the problems that exist in the park ...why are they never solved or even come close to being solved Get some brain transplants.

If people want to run around with loose dogs, let them pay fees to provide those areas and that insurance for that purpose. Thanks for listening.

So I understand what it means to love your dogs. BUT I feel it is an irresponsible wast of time, money and public resources to be spending so much energy towards this matter which has already been dealt with in drafting the existing laws here in Denver, as well as other cities and states. Laws should protect the public from irresponsible people. I believe this effort is an attempt by a vocal minority to undermine the safety, welfare and general interests of the general public. I get it. There are many who view their pets as their children, mates or personify them in other ways. But the reality is that pets are animals who shouldn't be relied on to be predictable or responsible. It's hard enough to control what an animal does when it is on a leash. Letting dogs eat with you and sleep with you and wear sweaters and hats doesn't insure that, when in public, they will not attack children for the first time, or invite themselves into private park picnics, butts or crotches. As a Denver native and multiple Denver property owner and taxpayer, I deserve to enjoy our parks without the invasive intrusions of other people's pets. I feel those who want to let their pets run free should move to rural areas. But those who choose to live in the city should be required to be responsible and keep their pets restrained in public and clean up after them. Too many fail to remove pet donations when they have them on a leash. They are NOT likely to hunt down their pet's remote deposits. And when I am playing at City Park Golf course... I REALLY don't need them to bring me back my ball anymore. I love dogs, and I grew up with them. So I understand what it means to love your dogs.

And when I am playing at City Park Golf course…
I REALLY don’t need them to bring me back my ball anymore.
