At the Wellington City Council site there’s a petition for a better deal for dogs:

Title: A Positive Dog Policy Petition

Opened: 25 September 2009

Closes: 25 October 2009

Petition Details

We request that the Dog Policy include:

  • increased off lead access to the Town Belt, Botanic Gardens, beaches, Karori Cemetery, Trelissick & Macalister Parks
  • a presumption that dogs will be under control rather than simply on leash. Ecologically sensitive areas & the City Centre to be on-leash.
  • access to the City Centre 24/7 & for Waitangi Park to be removed as a prohibited area
  • expanded exercise areas that are fenced, with poo bag dispensers & rubbish bins

Background information

This petition grew out of the Dog Policy review process of 8 & 10 September. It reflects a careful across-the-wards effort by Wellington dog owners, Wellington non-owners, and members of DAWGS to improve our city by improving its dog policy.

Visit: ePetitions – Current ePetitions – Details – Wellington – New Zealand before 25 October 2009 to have your say.

Note: thanks to spammers, comments are closed until around mid-January 2010.
