Letter: Addressing the leash law - Ukiah Daily Journal

To the Editor:

I am writing about the city leash law. According to Lead UPD Officer Dougherty, as documented on his body camera, on the body cameras of UPD Rodello and UPD CSO Officer Freeman, and on the Rodello car camera from 13Aug21, the UPD has announced officially that it is no longer enforcing the leash law. I was asked to not call the UPD to report violations of the code (law).

The animal control law has at least two subsections. Subsection A deals with the leash law requirements. Subsection B deals with animal waste disposal.

If the City of Ukiah and the UPD are no longer enforcing the animal code, covering both Subsections A and B, the UPD has chosen to allow animal defecation without clean-up.

I refuse to pick up my animal waste on public property until the City of Ukiah management manages to get control of its out-of-control Police Department, and forces them to again enforce the animal codes.

I am calling for a “sh*t-in” protest at City Hall. If you enjoy the leash law… if you hate animal waste left on public property… bring your animals up to City Hall daily… and protest. Leave your piles… for the City. At some point, the City will decide that they want to again enforce the animal codes.

My dogs just love the north side of City Hall, in the grassy area near the windows of City Management. They love an audience.

No leash law enforced? No poop bags used!
