Beach Dogs, Beware
Sir, —I was interested to read in your paper this morning the item under the above heading. My immediate reaction was that dogs’are somewhat hardly done by in comparison. You see, one dog, which Can’t read the notice of prohibition, makes only a small mess compared with the questionable human, who can read and who deposits his stinking household garbage on the nice new beach to be a danger to public health and a ghastly nuisance. With the advantages the human being has over the dog in being able to read, it is logical that his penalty should be more severe. How about the stocks or a bounty offered by the a city authorities for fresh scalps of such offenders. —I am, etc., BRADFORD TIP. Paraparaumu Beach, August 22.
