Lilburn blogger and dog owner Randy DeCarlo has published an article detailing his opposition to proposed changes to county ordinances governing barking dogs.
DeCarlo owns several hounds, most of which he rescued from the pound. DeCarlo was the subject of a highly-publicized case last year in which he was prosecuted and placed on probation for excessive barking.
DeCarlo’s article is lengthy, rambling and repetitive; proof that he is still stinging from his experience with the law. But he does make several valid points about the proposal. For example:
Dog barking offenses should be treated like every other noise ordinance on the books. It is disingenuous that a property owner has the right to unlimited access to noise emitting devices not limited to power mowers, leaf blowers and an assortment of other devices while pet owners are forced to all but silence their pets to protect them from court ordered seizure, huge fines and potential jail time simply because they choose to live in and own a dog in Gwinnett.
