[quote=Anonymous]Howard was founded in 1867. The issue is that dog owners many whom are new to DC want to be able to take over a campus in which they have no direct ties. The students want to preserve their historically pet free space which is their absolute right. Pets are a personal privilege not a community responsibility. The campus is a safe space for students. The other issue is that historically dogs were used during slavery and civil rights movements to antagonize ADOS (American Descendants of Slaves). Today ADOS (American Descendants of Slaves) have the right to argue that they don’t feel comfortable with people, particularly white people on a campus with their large, pooping dog whom may or may not have a leash.

Here’s what DCUM and the neighborhood surrounding Howard forget——Howard has strong political ties within the region and across the country. Native born DC locals (not the transplants) will back Howard along with Council members EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. The neighbors had better tread carefully and keep quiet or risk an internet dragging fest across social media via memes and gifs. No one wants their face on a meme or gif for entitlement over a silly issue. [/quote]
