Default New poll for pets on town squares.

On the suggestion of tankdrv1950 I am posting a new poll which tries to determine whether or not the people who answer are also pet owners or not.

I don't bring my dog, she doesn't like crowds, but I've no problem with other's pets as long as they're kept under control - and seems the vast majority are.

Default Pets?

Well, it depends what you mean by pets. Dogs may be OK but I'm definitely voting no on Talk Hosts boa constrictor, even if he puts it on a leash!

If the Developer is actually considering banning dogs from the town square, instead of doing that, perhaps he should insist that all dogs in the town square wear muzzles. Seems overkill to animal lovers like me, but perhaps that is what is needed, instead of banning dogs completely.

Where did this come from that the developer is considering banning dogs from the square? Is this how rumors start?

Just like smokers, allow pets outside the seating area.

This is a Fumar rumor. When he gets bored he likes to stir up a little indignation.

I have never taken a pet to public place after having seen poor little dogs breathing in the dust kicked up by peoples feet and knowing how hot pavement can become. It reminds me of something a priest once told me about bringing my little children to church. He said sit up front where they can watch what is going on. Dont sit in back where all they can see are other peoples behinds. What does a pet on a leash see in a crowd?

I think that dogs should be allowed to run free and grandchildren should be leashed...

What about the poll option that you don't really give a DA** one way or the other but you also don't want restrictions imposed because someone is doing and enjoying something that someone else doesn't enjoy (and then complains)?
