My dog recently started having swollen paws, red ears and and is contently scratching his face. Now I know pesticides are placed all over and has been my entire life, but since moving here, my dog has definitely formed some sort of allergy and I don't think that's normal.
There is no need whatsoever to poison the lawn especially to just get rid of clover. Clover is a plant that helps bees to thrive, is planted in rural areas to make hay for animals and does not grow high enough to be an eyesore. Mowing it would do just fine to keep the little white flowers from showing, if that's the intention here. It looks a whole lot better than burnt straw, which is how the lawn looks now, due in part, I suspect, to all the chemicals sprayed on it in the past.
Unless management can refute the research in the petition that applying poison will not have the affects that the petitioner has researched, I am against any poisons being used. Petitioner is spot on with regards to the appearance of the grass. It is ugly to say the least, and always has been. Why bother to pay to apply poison to grass that only looks as if it has always been neglected? Wildlife, pets, humans, should not be subjected to poisons, ever!
As a resident with a dog I do not feel it is safe nor beneficial to the people or animals at hastings village to spray. Research and studies have proven that pesticides cause cancer and related illnesses from digesting and breathing in these harmful chemicals.
My health is more important than a few weeds. Please do not spray our homes with toxic chemicals.
I'm with ya Lederman.
My dog has terrible rashes on her feet and licks her paws only in the summer. I thought it was an allergy to pollen or grass but I believe it is actually from the poison they put down.

I'd rather have weeds and not worry about toxic chemicals in my air, grass and eventually ending up in my water supply. And thank you Gabriella carputo for pushing this petition
