San Elizario has an irresponsible dog owner problem

San Elizario doesn’t have a stray dog problem ; they have an irresponsible dog owner problem.

Like juvenile criminals, the problem is usually inadequate or irresponsible parenting. Blaming stray dogs for the dangers in San Elizario is a convenient act of scapegoating. The blame belongs to people who have no business owning dogs.

Don’t put more burden on Animal Control who are already overwhelmed by the many irresponsible dog owners in all the cities comprising El Paso County. Shame on you who take dogs in and don’t walk them, properly fence your yards, don’t feed them nutritious food or properly attend to their medical needs. But the worst of you are the ones who dump their dogs when they no longer want to care for them.
