A Middle Township spouter who attended the Jan.

Cape May - A Middle Township spouter who attended the Jan. 17 meeting came to a different conclusion than I concerning dogs outside. I thought the police chief did a good job explaining that much thought and consideration is needed before the action to take someone's pet out of their yard. I believe that 40-degree number, just like the state's 32, is a starting point. Many factors need to be looked at, including the kennel itself, the condition, age and breed of dog, and other weather conditions, like snow. The woman from Shore Animal Control was well spoken, unlike some others. Sometimes it is better to listen than to shout.
