Cambridge Massachusetts to get Tough on Illegal Immigration…..of Dogs

From the Boston Globe:

If some Cambridge officials have their way, dogs like Babe, a frisky yellow lab mix, will be sidelined at Fresh Pond Reservation.

What’s wrong with Babe? She’s from Belmont.

Fresh Pond is one of the few parks in the area where dogs are allowed to run free. But the Cambridge Water Department, which oversees the park, wants to ban nonresident pooches from roaming off leash and plans to outfit Cambridge canines with bright red medallions, so the rangers who patrol the park can see which dogs belong and which do not.

This is discrimination. Some dogs belong and some don’t. I hope the ACLU can step in and prevent this kind of hate crime. Is it the dog’s fault they are from the wrong side of the state? I think not. They only want to poop on the grass that Cambridge dogs don’t want to poop on. This isn’t fair.

If the plan is approved, Babe from Belmont will be forced to look on longingly, straining in her blue harness, as Cambridge dogs roll in the grass and run beside their owners.

This sounds inhumane to me. I know they are not human, but they have feelings too. How must it make them feel to know they are not wanted.

The most ironic part of this story is that Cambridge voted themselves in as a sanctuary city for illegal aliens last year. Residents were interviewed after the vote and talked about how proud they were of their city. Now less than a year later we find out they are closet doggie bigots.
