Wednesday afternoon, in a meeting on Sosúa Beach, the head of the Beach Association met with concerned members of the Public and with Bar and restaurant owners who own dogs, all concerned about the possible killing off of the Sosúa Beach Dogs (7 in total).
These Beach Dogs are looked after by both AAAS and Dogs & Cats of Sosúa, with Miriam Willemsz, visiting them on a daily basis to ensure they are being well provided for and causing no harm.
The dogs have all been neutered, vaccinated, treated regularly for ticks and fleas and very healthy.
Everyone who knows these dogs knows that they are well behaved, not vicious and welcoming to everyone.
It seems that the Beach Association is worried that with the arrival of Tour operators and Cruise Ship organizers, they will object to the dogs being on this beautiful beach.

What seems to escape their attention is that these dogs cause no harm to anyone and for visitors from abroad, missing their own dogs, they are perfect ambassadors for our lovely island.
The case was put to the Beach representative who now will organize a further meeting next week, bringing in Tourism and relevant local committees that wish to have a say.
Naturally the public will be there in force to put their case.
It will be a great shame, if the Cruise Line passengers and the tourists visiting here hear how they are the reason that these dogs may be put to death.
A petition is going around at present and there will be a great deal of publicity
