Dog People of Kittery Take YOUR STAND!!!

I have sent this letter to the editor of Seacoast Online after reading this piece of rubbish from a very narrow minded individual.

I wanted to follow up to the stinky pile of vile that Mr. Estes “former” Councilman of Kittery delivered earlier this week. People who own dogs in this town do not take their pets to the beaches for depository purposes. This is a place for the dog community of this town to meet and allow the dogs to be socialized. Have you ever read the book Everybody Poops? Well “former” Councilman this includes dogs. The point behind the April Stools Day is to work on protecting the Majority and not letting the Minority ruin it for the rest of us who do take responsibility.

In your diatribe you discuss the cleanliness of the beaches, the children and our responsibility to self police. I really enjoyed your story about little Johnny too. But I would like to point out a couple of other facts that may not be doggie doo doo related.

Where are the public bathrooms at Seapoint Beach? Where did little Johnny go pee pee prior to his poopoo gate? Did he go in the dunes? Did he go in the water? And where exactly do all those visitors from away go to alleviate themselves during their eight hour stint? I say kind sir we have a conundrum of epic proportion!

Lets have the Shoreland Resource Office come in and test the waters during the peak season. I bet what they find is less dog related then you have described. It was quite the interesting picture you painted. I felt as though maybe we were living in the early Roman period where poop was being flung into the air with no regard. With all due respect former Councilman I disagree with your assessment.

And please don’t make this about TAX PAYERS Dollars. The cost and coverage of a normal letter at five percent toner coverage is at a minimum less than one cent to produce. The total cost is by far much less than the what we had to pay to build another GYM or another FIRE STATION or replace the HVAC unit in a new building or the closing of a school that was then utilized for a community center that we are now rebuilding. Don’t disgust me with the simple fact that these flyers crushed the Town Budget. That is a wee bit of stretch.

I always say former Councilman that people who live in glass houses should change their clothes in the basement. I strongly recommend you do that and consider getting a cat. You don’t sound like a very good dog owner.
