Make Den Haag Foxtail free
22 signatures
Why remove them:
- invasive species
- dangerous barbs that embed themselves in our dogs and cats and “burrow”
- streets look unmaintained
- ecosystem disruption ( crowd out native plants)
- undetectable by x rays in animals
- Traveling seeds can pierce vital organs internally for animals
Petition
We
owners of dogs and cats and supporters
establish that:
- In Den Haag there are a lot of foxtails in every neighborhood and these present a real risk for dogs and cats.
- Foxtails dry up and easily get carried away through wind to end up on pets' fur, in their noses, ears, eyes, or lungs, thus causing injuries and even potential death.
- A danger that is easily preventable by removing foxtails from public spaces and to have better maintenance of green spaces, sidewalks, and streets, and to preserve nature
and request
- remove foxtails, a dangerous invasive species which cause injuries in dogs & cats.
- to monitor the foxtail plants in the future, so they are kept contained and do not spread in the city.
