What will be left to take away from us after they have taken everything?
February 8, 2011 at 4 p.m.Some things need to be regulated such as pets. My subdivision has an ordinance where you can own no more than two pets per kind. Most city blocks do not have the room to store as many pets as the case in this story. The last two house I've owned over a period of 12 years, I had problems with neighbors dogs digging under a fence or jumping over. Both neighbors thoughts were; they're animals and will do things like this even destroying property. The city law states you must file a formal complaint in municipal court against your neighbor which has to go before a judge and then then if the judge decides the pet is a nuisance the city can take possession of the animal. The unfortunate thing is most people do not respect you are your property especially when it comes to their pets and children. I voted yes to regulate the number of pets you can own. Maybe the people will get the message about pets and it want to go as far as regulating the number of kids you can have.
February 8, 2011 at 2:59 p.m.Some people have a lot more kids than they do pets. Are you going to ask them to give up some of their kids?
February 8, 2011 at 1:51 p.m.No, we have enough laws and regulations, now!!!! We need enforcement of existing ordinances to control the situation, not another one that will not be enforced!!
February 8, 2011 at 12:37 p.m.If you insist on having dogs or cats then KEEP them in your yard where they can poop to their hearts content and you can step in the stinky smelly crap. Also if they bark , which they all do, they and you are disturbing your neighbors peace.
February 8, 2011 at 12:11 p.m.Thank God I don't live in Victoria, and never will. Land of the Bootlicking Nanny-State lovers. Bow down and lick the hand that feeds you, Victoria; may your chains rest lightly upon you.
February 8, 2011 at 9:53 a.m.It's your pet/pets. City, hold the owners accountable for their pets actions according to the law.
February 8, 2011 at 9:38 a.m."Should the city limit the number of cars you can have? Or children? Or should the city limit your salary? If you voted yes, take a step back and reevaluate your life. "
February 8, 2011 at 9 a.m.Really? You think that is a good statement? That is ridiculous! You two are probably some of the irresponsible ones that need regulating!
What the hell is going to happen with all the extra animals then?
February 8, 2011 at 8:51 a.m.Who is, "The City" ? Is it the people of, or the controlling, agenda focused politicians? Are the rules and regulations decided by the peolpe, for the people?
February 8, 2011 at 8:22 a.m.Own a pet?
February 8, 2011 at 8:04 a.m.Pet destroys property of anyone besides owner?
Pet owner IS responsible.
No different than have liability insurance for your own vehicle.
SIMPLE AS THAT.
"Should the city limit the number of cars you can have? Or children? Or should the city limit your salary? If you voted yes, take a step back and reevaluate your life."
Can't improve on that statement, well said.
February 8, 2011 at 7:15 a.m.The city shouldn't have to limit the amount of pets we own. People should just have a little common sense and respect for neighbors. If you own them then be responsible for them.
If it barks,bites. destroys property, or poops in your neighbors yard then you need to be responsible for it.
February 8, 2011 at 5:50 a.m.Should the city limit the number of cars you can have? Or children? Or should the city limit your salary? If you voted yes, take a step back and reevaluate your life.
City of Victoria: You want our pets? COME AND TAKE THEM.
