Urgent! Advocate for Dogs Left Chained or Penned in Summer Heat!

Seymour MO Has Lots of Chained Dogs

From Dogs Deserve Better

Please forward this release to your local media outlets, and advocate for local chained dogs by speaking to caretakers, giving them water and shade, and calling authorities. Leaving dogs outside in this heat wave that is encompassing most of the country is extremely cruel! We are their voices. Thank you!

I have news for Dogs Deserve Better. Tell the authorities! In Seymour! Gimme a break! The PO - lice will look at you as if you have marbles in your head, then snicker when you are gone. 

Speaking to caretakers! You have to be kidding Dogs Deserve Better. Try it and you will get cursed, have a gun pulled on you to "Git offen my property! Or I'm a gonna call the police on you!" 

And they will too and you will get a ticket to appear in court or pay a $50.00 plus fine for disturbing the peace. This is how they run new eddicated folks outta town BTW.

But they sure will try to fleece you first. 

Seymour may just be one of the Dog Chaining Capitals of the US if you do stats based on per capita. Oh I forgot they can't do arithmetic, much less understand statistics. The superintendent of schools in Seymour interpreted an increase of a few students as a trend! 

Well poor thing doesn't know what a statistical trend is when he is interviewed by the local newspaper and well, they don't either as he didn't get called on it last August. The local govt hired him though so he's a good ol' boy judging from reading about him in his new appointment. Supers come and go through revolving doors around here. We here have real smart local govt. Can'tcha tell?

When thinking of moving here you might want to think about renting or buying a house here. Next door could suddenly have a mini puppy mill for you to listen to. And watch them chained or penned in the heat with their water spilled. Never petted or brushed so their fur is all clumped with heavy winter balls while they swelter. Then you get to watch them shiver and hear them yowl in the cold, shake and try to get under cover in the rain. 

Yeah it's a great place to retire. Real cheap. I wonder why it's so cheap!

Update:

If the law requires people who have a pool, to have a fence, it can require one for a dog.
Not everybody has a pool, but you are more likely to get attacked by a dog who breaks his chain & gets loose & is angry, than you are to fall in someone's pool that doesn't have a fence.
A chained dog that gets loose is more of a danger to your Grandma, your kid, your dog, and even you, than a POOL.
Nobody wants to buy a house next door to a chained up dog, so the property values go down.

I had my dog attacked in Seymour MO by a chained dog getting loose.Went to police who did nothing as owner was an ex cop. But the mayor Jerry Miller cut down my red clover in my garden because it drew too many bees.That's Seymour for ya folks!

Seymour MO Dog Chaining Capital of US

How'd you like to buy a house only to find this next to you.You have no idea listening to them cry in the summer (owners are in air con so don't hear the cries)and shivering to death in the cold while you look, listen and can't stop it.You will suffer all the time and will not be able to enjoy your new retirement home.You will want to sell out but the price will be lower than you paid because no one wants to live next to this scene.

Seymour MO The Cigarette Capital of the US!

Is Seymour the Cigarette Capital of the US?

Well it feels like it. Cars with open windows drive by and their smelly exhaled breath assaults you. Difficult to walk around the square, attend events in the park, walk your dog, take your children for a stroller ride without smelling cigarette smoke wherever you go.

Walk around at night and the damp grass smells of it in front of most houses. 

Every single greasy spoon heart unfriendly restaurant allows smoking, so if you want to smell the stinky ashtray smell while you eat then by all means ..........

Be aware that this lowers your real estate prices dramatically. It causes people to NOT want to come here to live. It attracts lower income residents and further deteriorates the business atmosphere around the lovely park.

Wake up Seymourians! Take your town back!

Apple Festival 2009 Seymour MO 65746

Apple Festival 2009 is coming up. I am wondering if the town gummint has learned anything from the past two years. In 2007 there was a lovely booth featuring little dog clothes on the north side of the square. The lady had a little tiny pocket chihuahua in her pocket, of course. Her little dog was to be used to try on the clothes to show people how adorable they were. She was a happy and entrepreneurial lady.

But she was told that there was an ordinance prohibiting any dogs during park functions. So she was to take the doggie home and not bring her back on opening day (Saturday). They refused to give her her money back, so she sat there on Saturday feeling misused, exploited and unhappy. Needless to say she never came back to a Seymour Apple Festival after that. The next year 2008 there was a dog competition (forget what on) in the park during some function and dogs were allowed . Someone should have complained to the police because the best way to get rid of a poor law is to enforce it.

In 2008 Apple Festival but wait let me give you some history. Apple time started in the mid 1970's. Some booths have been around since the beginning. The two church booths on the southeast corner for example. The rent was $250. They were told their rent would double to $500 since they were selling food. I guess the Lion's Club didn't want any competition. It was finally negotiated back down to $250 if they only served one kind of food. I think it was kettle popcorn but am not sure. People were talking about how the two churches were treated all weekend.

Are these people crazy! Or just plain greedy? In a recession (since turned into a depression) they raise prices by doubling them? Those churches brought lots of people to Seymour to help, set up, buy and just generally to be there spending money. If I were them I wouldn't come back and my congregation and I would go somewhere else that appreciated us and our contribution past and present to Apple Festival. Didn't your mom tell you not to play with mean kids. Just come on home and don't play with them?

There was a new booth there in 2008 selling home made root beer. They served it in glass bottles. Your refills were less so they had lots of repeat sales, were gentle to the environment and very successful. They had a horrendous time setting up just off the northwest corner. It was a mother and son, and he was deaf. They were all set up when policewoman Miller came and told them they would have to move back beyond the yellow curb line. This required about two hours of repositioning the truck and was a difficult thing to maneuver. The rules have to be followed. Unless you have scheduled a dog competition and are a Seymour power broker, then the rules can be set aside. As Orwell said, Some pigs are more equal than others (Animal Farm).

So it will be interesting to see what happens in 2009 in a few weeks. There were lots of disgruntled people last year. But some were quite pleased. The usual. I will not be eating there as it is still all fried and greasy and heart unfriendly. The usual.

This is the way Seymour is so comment away on this. I am sure you will have your own stories to tell. Remember swearing is OK but calling names is not. If you have a disagreement just say so and state why. Name calling will be erased.
