KC parks department pisses on advocates then wonders where advocates went

Kansas City, Missouri, parks officials kicked an advocacy group in the teeth this week.

The foot-to-face came in the form of a response to a question from The Kansas City Star‘s “Watchdog,” an element in the paper which is sadly unaccompanied by an image of a doberman wearing a spiked collar. A reader asked the Watchdog for an update on the logy effort by the city to create more dog parks.

Sharon K. Henry of Kansas City wanted to know if the proposed dog park at South Oak Park at East 83rd and Main “would be done before my dogs reach old age and die.”
