Barre, Vermont, where life is cheap

You owe it to yourself to read this letter to the editor of the Times Argus.

 The letter actually addresses a serious question: the irresponsible people who don't clean up after their dogs. As someone who cannot see the benefits of dog ownership, I can definitely relate to the anger, disgust, and frustration felt by people who don't appreciate the way some dog owners act.

That said, take a look at this:

My suggestion is pretty radical, but I would suggest an ordinance that provides if we see someone who allows their dog to defecate on city or private taxpayer property, we be allowed to shoot the owner of the dog and then take the dog to the Humane Society.
