Team manager
taken to task

Dear Editor:

Ninety-six per cent of dog owners are irresponsible people.
That is the assuniption of Tony Roper, manager of the Mount
Seymour U12 Cougars soccer team, based on landlord statis-
tics. Mr. Roper leaves no stone unturned in search of statistics

to fit the need. The assump-
tion is absurd! (Cougars Stalk
Dogs, Friday, Sept. 13).

Roper suggested a method
of dealing with dog owners he
sees in McCartney, Kirkstone
or Myrtle Park that is totally
unacceptable. The — pet
owner’s home would be locat-
ed, the Mount Seymour U12
Cougars soccer team would
be brought there, and they
would, in the vernacular of
-Roper, take a wizz on the pet
owner’s front lawn,

This person would do no
"Jess than what the pet owners

are being accused of doing — with children under the age of

12 .

“This person
would do no less
than what the
pet owners are
being accused of
doing — with
‘children under
the age of 12.”

Based on Roper’s confrontational style of problem-solving, I
would advise the parents of the Mount Seymour U12 Cougars
soccer team to examine more closely this person’s suitability to
