Burning dogs bad idea during softball games
Everyone loves softball! A lot of people go to the fairgrounds softball field three nights a week to watch or play Warren County Church League Softball.
It is a lot of fun for a family ? get a big juicy hotdog and some nachos with cheese, sit down to support your team and eat your supper, and the next thing you smell is the stench from the dog pound where they are burning dogs.
It not only stinks, but it leaves a “cloud” in the middle of the field, which makes it difficult to see balls coming at you. I know it is not fog when there are no other “clouds” all around except for hovering over the field that is behind the pound. I work at the softball field keeping score and it is a terrible smell.
I am not asking for a lot. I know that all dogs will not get adopted and that some have to be destroyed. That is life. All I am asking is that you look out the back door before you start burning them. There are ball games on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights starting in May and going through the end of November. There are also tournaments there on Saturday nights that last into the wee hours of Sunday mornings sometimes.
It is not hard to tell when there is someone on the field. Just look out the back door and if there is a bright light, we are playing ball. Saturdays are when people come from all over the state of Tennessee and some other surrounding states to play ball and they think that it is weird we burn dogs when people are playing softball.
Please just do you business during the day or on days that there is not someone out there playing ball. We would all appreciate it.
For everyone else who finds it horrible that they burn dogs, go adopt one and have yours fixed so we do not have a need for them to destroy animals.
