Does this make sense to you?
As a group, we've been following the recent responses to The Grand Rapids Press article, "Some feel funding bite, anger at dog park plan". Today they printed the comic above, which reads, "Do we need more public safety officers or road improvements? No! We need a doggie park. That's what this city needs. After all, dogs are people, too, you know...”
Turning the page, there's an ad for The Humane Society featuring dogs and cats that need homes. The caption for Einstein, one of the dogs in the ad reads, "... His owners felt they didn't have enough time to meet his energy needs." Sounds like Einstein and his owners would have benefited from a safe place to exercise him. It’s really sad that more people don’t get the connection and that The Press feels the need to continually portray our legitimate needs in such a condescending and biased manner.
