Rants: Week of Nov. 15

Puppy abuse I live down by English Bay and on Sunday I saw this guy literally drag a seven-week-old puppy down the road. The puppys four paws were all bloody from being dragged and the guy said theyd come down all the way from Robson Street.

Puppy abuse

I live down by English Bay and on Sunday I saw this guy literally drag a seven-week-old puppy down the road. The puppys four paws were all bloody from being dragged and the guy said theyd come down all the way from Robson Street. I stopped him, and another woman and I held onto the dog and waited for the police and then the owner to retrieve his dog. It was really ridiculous that the so-called trainer didnt realize a puppy cant be walked that far, also the fact that the owner had just hired him off Craigslist. The police contacted the SPCA before giving the dog back to the owner, and I just hope he had the poor dogs paws treated at a vets office. The owner also seemed quite clueless and I wonder now how often some variation of this scene plays itself out, whether it be with a dog or a baby. Wake up and read a book or two before you have one, people!

Rake those leaves

Id like to remind people especially the person who was out at seven this morning that there are no leaf blowers allowed in the West End from Georgia to Beach, and everything west, with fines up to $2,000.

More VAG advice

I can never figure out why the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­Art Gallery cant seem to have a show of BC artists at least once every two or three years. Many people would come to see this. We taxpayers deserve to see our local and regional artists works in the VAG, not just the conceptual work of a few over and over again.
