[SBB] Little Blue Heron & off-leash dogs

[Nancy Teater <[[email protected]]>]

Hello,
SCVAS is going to start making some noise about off-leash dogs that harrass 
wildlife. Gordon Barrett reported that he saw a dog owner allow his two 
off-leash dogs to chase the Little Blue Heron. This makes me as mad as a 
hatter. I followed up with the Water District, which replied promptly and 
told me the City of San Jose is responsible for enforcement at that 
location, so I will pursue the complaint with them.

Please report any instances of wildlife harrassment that you witness to me 
via email or phone. I know it's very hard to get compliance, but the more 
we call this to the attention of city and county officials, the more they 
will know that we are going to be a royal pain in the butt and may just 
start trying to do a better job.

We will also work on some information for our web site to inform those who 
are responsible but clueless about the effects of such harrassment.

Be sure to include specifics: names and locations of parks, trails, what 
you saw and what birds/animals were affected.
Thanks, Nancy Teater, SCVAS Conservation Committee
