Your dog might be next

Training for the dog control program should start with program director Ray Lizama and extend to everyone involved, including Dr. Tudor. I personally feel that the mayor had his work cut out for him, although it does not excuse him from what happened. He is the only mayor that I know who is trying to put this dog issue or problem in place. Mayor Donald Flores did apologize to Mrs. Parker and me and we feel that he was sincere and do regret this whole incident happened.
For you, Ray Lizama, you are a character and do not belong in that job. There were a lot of comments made in the media and it shows that people are very sensitive about their pets and you should be as well, unless you do not a have a pet. In this case, you did not allow a 10-day due process period for us to argue our point and save our dogs. Imagine, just two hours to discard one’s pet. The business was closed and there were several signs posted across the property in two languages warning of dogs on duty. It was very unfortunate that Mr. Sook Kim got bitten and I would like to take this time to apologize. Mrs. Walker and I are very sorry. Our dogs Tato and Little Black—most especially Little Black who was not involved at all—were in chains when the incident happened and in chains when they were taken away.
Mr. Lizama, you came on a mission to put down the dogs, no matter what. You put the mayor and all the hardworking staff in a very bad position. Not once did you try and express concern or apology to Mrs. Walker. You tried instead to defend yourself in front of a delegation meeting that you were right to put down the dogs. I watched in disbelief and everyone in the meeting was shaking his or her head in disbelief as well. Boy, you are the man! Next time, I will put a sign that says “Beware of Ray Lizama.” To the community, be very careful as your dog might be next.
