Dog Lovers - Need Your Comments (residents & visitors)

As a long time homeowner in Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo I wouldn't think of being there without my dog, I would seriously think of traveling and buying a home elsewhere. I firmly believe that people who travel with their pets are responsible pet owners, our pets have all their shots, we wouldn't think of not picking up after them and keep a close eye on them when out.

It's a shame that because of one restaurant owner on La Ropa a whole group of people aren't wanted. I for one stopped going to La Perla several years ago for this very reason. I also believe that the area has a much larger "fish to fry" than worrying about a responsible pet owner on the beach.

Implement some type of fining system for not taking care of your animal, fines paid to SPAZ. Maybe a local license issued by SPAZ for a fee, something that last longer than a few months. I for one would be more than happy to pay them for the right to take my dog to the beach. I would resent paying the city since I feel most of that money would go into someone's pocket rather than making any much needed city improvements.
