Subject: Dusty Rhodes DP incurs 5th fatality in 7 years !!! From San Diego, San Diego County, California And some of you wonder why I say: "poorly designed dog parks are dangerous !!!" 5 dogs killed, and all of them small dogs. Well that certainly is a coincidence, ehh. It is hard to put into words how angry these stories make me, but I should probably take some time and calm down before posting my online comments. This young girl was apparently bringing this extremely tiny dog in with large dogs on a regular basis and it's eventual death was inevitable in my opinion. California is one of the states with the most dogparks but the number using electronic access cards to try and make them safer, is still ZERO (0). I wonder how many dogs will die at this park before someone re-evaluates what they are doing (?)

And please don’t bring your smaller to medium sized dogs to this park as it can be extremely unsafe and even fatal. According to the vet this isn’t the first time a small dog has been brutally killed at these types of parks. Also watch out for that Husky as it is likely dangerous towards other pets now. I would hate for anyone to be going through what I am going through. That dog was my baby, he was a part of our family. We are all beyond upset, including our other dog; his best friend. This was our little family. Know your rights. There is very little action that can be done. Dogs are considered personal property. Dogs need to be more protected than this. They are family members to most people, as ours was to us.

Whoever is responsible for this mess, must be a complete moron. I am amazed this young woman would bring that tiny dog into a dogpark with large dogs. And then of course she wants to blame this incident on everyone but herself. If it was up to me, dopes like Carrie would be prosecuted for abusing their own dog.
