Murashige, Laura <br /> From: drewrosskona@juno.com <br /> Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2006 2:09 PM <br /> To: Holschuh, Fred; Ikeda, Donald; Arakaki, James; Higa, Stacy; Safarik, Gary; Jacobson, Bob; <br /> Isbell, Virginia; kpilago@co.hawaii.hi.us; phoffman@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Subject: the dog noise issue <br /> County Council Members <br /> My letter is written in strong support of legislation to curb the ability of people to allow dogs to bark in annoying patterns. <br /> I'm not surprised that there is opposition to such legislation; a small minority of people are comfortable in what has been <br /> an essentially lawless situation. Awell-trained, loved dog does not bark in a disturbing pattern. Laws curbing the barking <br /> <br /> will help the "silent" majority of people who are disturbed by the barking, will help the dogs by focusing attention on the <br /> barking dogs that need changes in their care, and will even help the people who oppose the bill because they may be <br /> moved to learn more about dogs as well as about the noise issues of their neighbors. <br /> Dog noises are a frequent source of stress and impetus to move on our island. For those sensitive to the noise (and again, <br /> <br /> that is the majority), much of the stress has to do with the fact that the dog in question is in some kind of distress that is not <br /> receiving attention. <br /> <br /> This letter was written by me, and does not come from any organization or group. It is the first time I have been moved to <br /> <br /> write to the council. Thank you for your attention. <br /> <br /> Aloha, <br /> Drew Ross, MD <br /> Kainaliu, Hawaii <br /> <br /> Try Juno Platinum for Free!
