dogs on Madera

When asked to leave today,I did not, stay at the resturant. One hour later three men showed up, two on beach and one to owner of restaurant.
Owner was told his dog must be sent home and he must tell me to leave. If not they would make much trouble for him. He was very sorry but could do nothing. That my dogs were very well behaved but had no choice. I do have choice, Zihua has gone nuts. People shot all over town, armed robbery on beach, local dogs use sidewalk for toilet amd owners watch-no pick up. Sewage dumped in bay and my dogs are problem? My monthly $$$ spent here is not much but if 100 of us move out, it will add up. O the tourest busness is just bumming. Am I THE ONLY ONE THAT FEELS LIKE THIS???

There is no local support for this bad policy by our city goverment. Most folks are totally unaware of it. I guess I'll have to take some time and effort to make sure that changes. If more folks were aware that this bad policy is chasing tourists away from Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa the government would be unable to explain itself or justify it. They still have some folks believing that Ixtapa's "playa certificada" means something positive. Most folks are totally unaware that is has cost us hundreds if not thousands of tourists.

I urge you to post all the details here of this incident as well as the time of day when this occurred and the name of the restaurant. I also urge you to continue ignoring this stupid policy, and I really wish someone had captured the incident on video. Just one video of a tourist being harassed or a restaurant owner being threatened over this matter would be all we need to make sure this stupid policy gets the bad publicity it deserves. There is no excuse for our city government insisting on this rule that has almost no support from the local folks in the tourist industry. Local hotel and restaurant operators are overwhelmingly against this policy, and we were apparently and very disappointingly misled into believing it would be rescinded.
