Letters: Why are we allowing dogs to run wild on our beaches?

With all the off leash dog parks that we have around why are we allowing off leash dogs to run wild on our public beaches?
Davidson letter
A large pile of dog crap can be seen here in this picture. Letter writer Ron Davidson is questioning why Delta is allowing dogs to run free on our beaches.

Editor:

They say there are no bad dogs - just bad owners - and it seems there must be a few of them around Tsawwassen.

With all the off leash dog parks that we have around why are we allowing off leash dogs to run wild on our public beaches?

It’s the one area where everyone goes to relax and for many that means without shoes. When dogs are allowed to run free on the beaches many are out of sight and reach of their owners and many of those owners tend to neglect the gifts their dogs leave on the beach for others to discover.

Am I the only one that’s bothered by this reckless behaviour?
