dogs on beach ??

As I said before when people on this board complain about the lawlessness in Mexico, big laws, little laws, the only ones that break the law are people who think they are above the law, and that includes dog owners that take their dogs on the beach.

Perhaps you are unaware of Mexico's laws. One of them is that all beaches are Zona Federal, meaning local governments don't have the authority to ban dogs from the beach. What is banned from beaches by federal law are horses and motorized vehicles. Not dogs. This is a sham policy to try to simulate their job in an effort to get the beach "certified" like in Ixtapa, where millions of pesos have been spent on the policy with nothing to show except tourists promising never to return to Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa because of it.

You also appear to ignore the origin of this local policy, including the fact that a meeting with locals, beachfront restaurant owners, beachfront hotel operators and the local government resulted in a promise by the local government to modify their policy to remove the dog ban, which they never did, making the government unrepresentative and the people who imposed the policy, now on the campaign trail for the next elections in 3 years, liars.

The community of Zihuatanejo is against this errant policy. It's our town. The government works for us. When they fail to represent us then there are consequences for them. For this reason, it is quite revealing that the policy is applied neither uniformly nor successfully.

And just to drive the point home, have you never broken a law?
