Entitled dog owners could be at fault for the dozens of beaches across US closed after high levels of bacteria found in water
Beaches are getting closed nationwide due to e.coli
Dozens of beaches across US closed after high levels of bacteria found in water usually found in the intestinal tracts of warm-blooded animals, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
More than likely from dog feces although the officials also include other sources so not to feel the wrath of the dog mafia.
Dog people deny science when a popular beach gets closed due to high levels of E. coli. Most of the beaches that are closed due to high levels of e.coli are usually on the beaches where dog people let their dogs off leash and do not collect the dog feces and/or allow them their furry accessory poop in the water.
Yet, when you try to tell a dog person that is a doctor/scientist/truck driver/teacher/computer programmer/shoe designer that the e.coli probably came from dog feces, science is tossed out the window and they say, "No, it's not from the dogs.", even though dog feces have been proven to be a major containment of water and soil.

Definition of Hypocrisy: Dog consumption and the Dog Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act of 2018
This bill doesn't just border on hypocrisy, it could be used as definition of hypocrisy as protein sources from other animals are legal to be raised and purchased for consumption, but in 44 U.S. states dog slaughter is legal. So, pig, cow, goat, sheep, chicken, you-name-it consumption is legal throughout the U.S., but a federal law prohibits slaughter and consumption of dogs despite the growing evidence of that dogs are one of the most invasive fauna species in the U.S., with only rats outranking them https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/6720 https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/dog-consumption-legality Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act of 2018 (Sec. 2) This bill prohibits persons from knowingly slaughtering a dog or cat for human consumption.

Dogs are not eco-friendly
Writers are calling it the "ecological paw", or "carbon pawprint". They say that owning a dog is not at all eco-friendly and worse than owning a Hummer or Toyota Land Cruiser. Dogs utilize vast food and energy resources, spread disease and more pollution to an already over-taxed environment.
