IB次元官网网址檇 like to thank the letter writers who have come forward on what has become a far-too-common occurrence on our public beaches and parks. Every time I visit my neighbourhood beach of Cadboro Bay I am witness to the dangerous behaviour of B次元官网网址渇riendlyB次元官网网址� off-leash dogs charging and jumping. Even dogs racing past my family and I at high speeds causes me great concern. How do I know if your B次元官网网址渇riendlyB次元官网网址� dog wonB次元官网网址檛 suddenly turn on my children? Or knock them over accidentally?

WeB次元官网网址檝e had dogs pee on our sandcastles and beach toys, poop within feet of where we are playing, steal our food and shake sand and water on us. I have been jumped on while coming between dogs and my children, and my children have been sniffed and licked. WeB次元官网网址檝e even been told to get off the B次元官网网址榙og beachB次元官网网址� (accompanied by expletives) if we donB次元官网网址檛 want to be around dogs. ItB次元官网网址檚 not OK and needs to stop.

I have seen little to no use of leashes when I have visited Cadboro Bay beach since the leash law was put in place on Nov. 1. Where is animal control?
