Kill the Cat and Dog in the Hotel

Hi Andy,
I think you can blame the pet problem on tourists in Guatemala. Seems like everyone adopts a pet for their brief stay and then heads out of the country. I always thought San Pedro was the worst. Now in Flores I noticed they have a extermination program setup to take care of the strays. Someone did tell me when it gets real bad in San Pedro they will put out poison bait to cull the population. But on my stay in San Pedro it was just unhealthy the amount of strays wandering around and something needs to be done now

Scott.

Someplace in Argentina a dog adopted me. Just started walking along with me. Sat next to me while I ate without even begging ( I did not feed it) and waited outside stores that I wandered in. It had a collar that was currently WAY too big as it must have lost a lot of weight. Then, at some point, it squatted in front of a store and crapped. The owner came out and yelled at me like it was my dog.

I assume this dog was abandoned by some useless owner. Dogs and cats are Huge responsibilities but most owners act like what their pet does is not their responsibility. I meet a lot of people who are away from the house almost all day yet have a dog at home that they keep in a cage or keep outside and let bark all day.
