Dogs should not be allowed in bars, taverns or otherwise. A service dog is acceptable, but no other pets.
State Sen. Ken Jacobsen, D-Seattle, wants to allow “well behaved dogs” to enter into drinking establishments. This is totally unacceptable.
If dogs are allowed in bars, I am going to smoke in them. I’m not kidding. We don’t go there for our good health. We go to consume vast quantities of an inebriating substance.
Have you ever seen a dog fight between large dogs? OK, now have a bunch of drunks try stopping a big dog fight in a bar. I’m sure it’s just as exciting and entertaining as being in the middle of a bar brawl. Do you want to get bitten in the process? I don’t want rabies, either. Animals are animals. They belong in the barn.
If a person finds it necessary to go to a drinking establishment, your animal does not need to attend with you. Me? Oh, I love the dirty wet dog smell on my clothes. I’m sure the ladies love filthy, dirty, shedding, wet, sloppy, uncontrollable misbehaved dogs drooling, snuffling and rubbing on them, too! Leave your pet out in the rain or at home, I don’t care. They have a nice fur coat that mother nature provided to keep them warm. We all don’t need to share the love of your pet. This is not up for debate.
If this is all that our representatives can come up with as a necessary, logical legislation, we need some new representatives. Maybe we should elect a few dogs to the Legislature. I’m sure their ability to reason and debate will prevail as if “common sense” legislation were their prime virtue.
