"qehounds", you are hardly one to be giving a lecture on civility -- unless your idea of civility is posting a petition on pitbull-chat.com (what kind of website is that?) falsely claiming that support for this ordinance is tied to "TERRORISM."

A couple things - Amanda's post as HSUS director for NC is a very recent occurrence. She started the coalition a long time before and people support her and her mission because it proves that people CAN be compassionate.

"Civility and respect have died and been buried in Durham--and you all are worried about tethered dogs???? "

So we have to restore civility and respect to Durham before we can address the humane treatment of dogs?

Seventy Five people spoke at that meeting. All but 6 (maybe 7?)

Unchaining the dogs can have adverse consequences- here's what Halifax had to say- Halifax County, NC Anti-Tethering Fallout http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/NC358.html News We have many new adult dogs, puppies, cats and kittens that will be on the list soon, so keep checking back.

Btw, ykw, do you really think copy and pasting the same argument over and over is going to convince anyone? Try having an original thought and posting that.

Well I had hoped that since your paper seems unable to provide a fair and balanced view in the stories you might allow the posters to do so.

Also, my comments are new to this post and not everyone may have seen the last article.

ykw: we posted this story because there was something new to say. your long comment on this story, however, was identical to your Aug. 18, 7:17 p.m. comment on our last tethering story.
