Attention politicians! Dog owners DO vote!
The former mayor of Paradise Newfoundland found out the hard way yesterday that not only do dog owners vote, they don’t forget. Voters ushered in 19-year-old university student Kurtis Coombs who was Ralph Wiseman’s only competition. A comment on one blog reads “Wiseman’s competition could have been a dog, it still would’ve won!”
In August 2007, Wiseman raised the hackles of the town’s dog owners when he publicly suggested that dog owners couldn’t read, that a baseball bat was the only thing they would understand, and that he felt like killing all the dogs in the town. He also suggested that all dogs should be banned from public trails.
I hope that all politicians realize that dog owners are a significant segment of society and that the increasing attempts by lawmakers to isolate and segregate dogs and their owners from the rest of society will not be forgotten at the polls.
