Show SALT LAKER DON'T LIKE VERNON A Salt Lake City reader of The Milford News penned the following to Town Clerk Burns: "I read your 'Notice to Dog Owners.' Do you sleep well? If so, I hope you won't be able to in the future. True, dog owners should license their dogs, etc. But should j'ou kill dogs because some of their owners don't buy licenses, Would you kill a human hu-man being for no reason at all? If you did, it would be murder. Just because a dog doesn't have a license doesn't make him a criminal guilty of a crime punishable pun-ishable by death. You'd pick up an innocent dog and kill him for no reason at all, and he wouldn't bo able to defend himself. He wouldn't know why the terrible injustice was being done to him. The least you could do is notify all delinquent dog taxpayers. Then if they didn't buy the license, li-cense, take the dog and offer some other dog lover an opportunity oppor-tunity to buy hini, make a good home for him, and see that he gets a license. Wouldn't that help your peace of mind and your ability to sleep with a clear conscienceor con-scienceor don't you have a conscience?" |
