Dogs - leash up.


 Pacifica Tribune, 2/21/12, Letter-to the-editor,  "Leash your dog" by Kay Lindquist, Moss Beach. 
"For you, but I'd rather not."

"Editor: Perhaps the recent dog-walker incident on Montara Mountain could serve to settle this festering issue good. I am appalled at the instantaneous thrust of the "off-leashers" to grab this issue as their own. San Mateo County's law says "all dogs are to be on leash and under control whenever they are off the owners' property. The leash must be no more than 6 feet in length. The city of Pacifica also has a municipal law regarding the need to have dogs on-leash on public property.

I love dogs. It is the haughty, above-the-law walkers who have virtually closed the mountain to me. Over the years "dogs must be on leash" signs have been defaced and removed by walkers. There are off-leash parks. Dogs deserve them. Use them. Leash-up when on Montara Mountain and when walking them in Pacifica."
