We, the undersigned, support the construction of a Dog Park at Juniper Park, Middle Village, Queens to alleviate perceived dog-oriented problems within the park. At the same time, we support continuation of off-leash rights in other parks throughout the City of New York. In doing so, we oppose the lawsuit brought against New York City by the Juniper Park Civic Association intended to abolish ALL off-leash rights in all New York City Parks.

1125 Paul C. Barba Off leash is important in order to maintain a dogs health and to socialize them.When there aren't dog runs, off leash is essential.

1123 Anna Giza Off leash laws are vital to the mental and physical health of dogs... I see the difference in my dog immediately after taking him off leash --- tail up and happy as can be, on leash--- tail down and looking sad. My pooch as well as other pooches deserve a bit of freedom, they have rights too. They have feelings and needs just like us. So I'm willing to respect the 9pm - 9am rule for off leash, and I believe that this also promotes night time safety in public parks. Owners know their dogs' temperment and if their dog is a hazard to others (people and pets included) then the owners know not to release him/her in a public place. I'm sure that they don't want the financial responsibility of extra medical bills due to a dog bite or dog fight. I know people that have dogs with "issues" and they won't let them off leash. So I'm willing to respect the 9pm - 9am rule for off leash, and I believe that this also promotes night time safety in public parks.
1122 Aristides Soler We humans need health: Physical,mental, psuchological, and social. Dogs have the same needs of health. Off the leash law in New York City's parks will help greatly to provide dogs thier needs.
1121 Lance Mercado
1120 Anne Soler Continue off leash rights in all parks.EXERCISE and SOCIALIZATION is wonderful for our pets too.
1119 Kim Mizutani I support this because the public, including non-dog owners, benefit when dogs are happy, excercised and socialized.
1118 claudine farro Its bad enough the millions of dogs here have to live w/the City noise, small spaces, and no backyards. They deserve this small concession towards a quality of life!
1117 Bjorn Wallander
1116 John Geraldo The off leash law is an important component of dog health and socialization. As responsible owners, we know our dogs need to be off leash so they can run freely on fresh grass or even asphalt so as to remain healthy and happy canines.

1108 Robert M Tamburino It has worked for 20 years so why change the law? There are plenty of destructive laws that need changing and this is not one of them. Please allow the off leash hours to continue. I bet advocates of the change are nowhere near any parks during the allowable hours.

1106 Meg Hirschfeld dogs improve the quality of city life and there is no good reason to change the offleash law.

1093 Laura Jean Kaucher "Civilized dogs deserve civilized rules." - my thoughts exactly.

1091 Amanda Curry Off leash hours are imperative to the health and well-being of all city dogs. Off leash hours provide crucial social interaction and exercize that city dogs would otherwise have to go without. Taking away these hours would mean destroying a healthy outlet for city dogs and their owners, while creating a hostile and unhealthy environment for other residents and future pets. Off leash hours give me sanity, happiness and allowed me to rescue a dog.

1089 Bruce McNally FREEDOM FOR ALL SENTIENT BEINGS!
1088 Christine Fish If we start worrying about a bunch of dogs enjoying some freedom for a few hours a day, we know we have too much time on our hands! Let the dogs have fun and worry about something worse that's going on in the world! Think about it.
1087 Leo Rutman Dogs and dog owners deserve the right to use the parks at designated hours.
1086 Jennifer Dinkel Please allow dogs to have some free time in NYC. Thanks!
