Dog owners in Haifa complain about the lack of parks for dogs to be released. "Three parks are not enough," they say. Haifa Municipality: "Next Monday, a new park will be inaugurated in the Bat Galim neighborhood and we promise to continue locating additional complexes in other neighborhoods in the city."
One of the dog owners told Lahi Fe, "I, along with other dog owners, used to meet in the evening at the lot located in the Carmel French area, but one of the people invited the police to us, and thus this option was also closed to us. We need and require an available and safe place to release the dogs and ask for your support and help The municipality that has been ignoring the problem for several years and only sends inspectors to write reports."

The representative of the veterinary service Dr. Yair Weiss, and the members of the council Dr. Uri Greenberg (Yesh Atid) and Oded Donitz (Labor) were the ones who stated that the solution is the establishment of dog release parks and not the doubling of the fine.
Weiss: "I want to explain the essence of the problem, it is very difficult to catch the dog at the right time, and to link it to the owner. The issue of the genetic testing of the feces was examined already ten years ago and the costs are very heavy, in addition to its operating costs. What the municipality started recently in addition to the issue of legislation And the establishment of dog parks is the right thing. We hope that this will be a solution because both the dogs and the dog owners will be happy. What's more, when the dogs are concentrated in one place with their owners and the dog does its needs and all the other dog owners are nearby, there is also cleanliness and the area near Cleaner. I hope that over the years and budgets more gardens like this will be established."
Greenberger: "Those who have a dog know exactly what I'm talking about. A dog is like a child, even those who own three or five or ten dogs should take care of them and those around them as well. I'm in favor of increasing enforcement on those who leave the remains of their dogs for the public welfare Expand, but we need to increase the infrastructure that makes it easier for law-abiding dog owners. For example, as there is a park where dogs can roam freely in Kiryat Eliezer, there should be more parks like this, in Carmel, for this kind of thing. Any money that comes as a result of increasing these fines, if we go ahead A move to increase fines should be hypocritical money that comes to serve the public of dog owners in Haifa through one way or another."
Haifa Municipality gave a response to Haifa: "The municipality of Haifa works in cooperation with the residents to locate vacant areas in the city's neighborhoods where dogs can be released freely. These enclosures are being established in light of the experience gained in the Verdia neighborhood where the first enclosure for the release of dogs was established, which was eventually closed at the request of the residents who feared the nuisance it would cause them."
"This coming Monday, a new enclosure for releasing dogs will be inaugurated in the Bat Galim neighborhood after a similar enclosure was inaugurated in the Kiryat Eliezer neighborhood a few months ago. At the same time, the municipality continues to locate additional enclosures in other neighborhoods of the city."
