To further limit off leash recreation is a disservice to dogs, who far outnumber children in San Francisco and, at a time, when SF Park &#038; Recreation is further cutting back off leash areas on City land. This NR is just a predetermined sham to rid the GGNRA of dogs. Fortunately, the illegalities of the NR have been closely watched and documented such that a legal attack on the process is inevitable.<\/blockquote class=\"q\">\n<p>Citing the 1 percent figure makes this argument sound suspiciously familiar to the debates about ATVs in the national forests.<br \/>\n<P>I figure if we can let cows crap all over our regional parks, we can let some dogs rip and tear in a few areas.   (Come to think of it, the free-ranging cattle in local  parks do become a catch-all rationale for allowing just about anything short of strip mining).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which administers tons of open space around San Francisco, is working up new guidelines for where folks can let their dogs go off-leash.
