The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1880-02-21

Through the sudden and quite unex-
pected death of one ofour citizens caused by
hydrophobia last week, our councilmen have
again had their eyes opened 90 the danger
OF allowing dogs to run at large without
muzzles, aud actuated by the paramount
necessity Of having the same stopped, have
taken steps in that direction. An ordinance
praying tho owners Of dogs to have them
muzzled has accordingly been issued That
this Is wise step in the right direction and
that if the same he strictly enforced neces-
sary achievement will have been accomplish
ed, no one will have the audacity to ques-
ton for single moment. But will the
citizens Of this borough for once obey the
dictatlon of sage counsel and me ke proma-
ture death from that terrible disease an i'm
possibility The probabilities are that this
well-meant appeal will, like many Of SINH
lar purport, meet with sad fate The destiny
OF dogs in this borough is a proud one.
Dogs are here predominant, and allowed
to roam, not sadly, but without dictation-
bite, or not bite. at discretion. Every
Tom, Dick and Harry has his dogs to pest
ard torment his neighbor without cessation.
They are always unaccompanied by their
proud owners, and If you succeed at night
in walking square without tumbling over
not less than half dozen terrier pups,black
and tans, poodles or some other particularly
defined species Of the canine, please, simply
for the sake of disticton, consider yourself
more fortunate than anyone else Dog-raisers
are in the habit oCmaking edo as you please"
ordinances Of such, and after very short
time forget that the nuisance has been pro-
hibited. This should never he. A strict
compliance with the provisions of the ordi-
nance should be had if the same necessitate
arrests or any thing else. Law is law, and
it should equally and impartially protect
everybody. It is lY no means supposed that
one party shall enjoy dog-nuisance at the
utter disgust of the other. Neither is it sup
posed that particular persons dogs shall
wear no muzzles while others shall. And
why should our town be full of worthless
dogs2 Do the people Of Weissport want
more symptoms of hydrophobia and after.
ward untimely deaths2 The question is
superfiuous. They certainly do not, and why
not get rid Of one bother anyhow?
