To the editor:
I, like Anita Lawry (琉璃神社 Wednesday, Feb 17 ), am traumatized by loose dogs in my Crawford neighbourhood and four local parks almost every time I go for a walk.
Owners either ignore me when I ask them to leash their dogs, look peeved, or rationalize that their dogs are鈥� friendly.鈥� It can be an effort for some to leash as their dogs don鈥檛 respond to their calling.
I have written to the city requesting more signage with fines posted ( up to $10,000 fine)/90 days incarceration) and more policing.
I have also asked the city how I can legally defend myself against dogs which approach me. No answer yet.
