Brent Plater Authors Leash Law Enforcement Petition

Brent Plater helped author this GGNRA leash law enforcement petition. Over 70% of Bay Area residents want leash laws enforced at the GGNRA. See Northern Arizona University, Public Opinion Research Telephone Survey Regarding Golden Gate National Recreation Area Pet Management Issues 11, 21 (2002) ("[R]espondents were read the statement, "Current NPS regulations allow for walking dogs on-leash at most GGNRA sites AND prohibit any off-leash dog walking," and asked if they support or oppose this current regulation. Nearly three-quarters of all respondents from the four-county region (71%) support the current dog walking regulation and nearly one-quarter (23%) oppose the regulation."). This is because leash laws are safe and effective measures to protect people, our pets, wildlife, and the Park itself.
