I have seen, outside NYC, the tricks they use to keep the CG away, while the CG frolicked right nearby (fake wolves etc)- I wrote to Mayor Bloomberg: _http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.bd08ee7c7c1ffec87c4b36d501c7 89a0/index.jsp?doc_name=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyc.gov%2Fhtml%2Fmail%2Fhtml%2Fmayo r.html_ (http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.bd08ee7c7c1ffec87c4b36d501c789a0/index.jsp?doc_name=http://www.nyc.gov/html/mail/html/mayor.html )
There is no place for comments on the NYT website. Sharon/NYC In a message dated 7/24/2010 1:38:27 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Hi Sharon, et al, Socially acceptable does make it sound like this whole exercise is merely an excuse to get rid of those annoying things that keep crapping on the lawn. It looks like the agriculture department is running the show, so that would probably be the place to file a complaint.

" Socially acceptable? I dont think I need to express what this sounds like. It is horrible and does anyone know who to contact to complain??!
