Our community is vibrant, bustling and packed with energy. Among us live our valuable companions - our pets. Their safety is always a concern, especially with the constant potential threat of them getting loose in such a hectic environment. As residents and pet owners in this busy community, we find it crucial to afford them the protection they need through the deployment of babygates at all times.

Residency rules should be altered to permit residents to have babygates up at all times, even if someone is not on the patio. This change would prompt a significant increase in safety for our pets and others, while allowing homeowners the peace of mind knowing their pet is secure. According to estimates, roughly 1.2 million dogs are killed on the roads each year in the US, and up to a third of pets will go missing at some point in their lives (American Humane Association). We believe that every action taken to avoid these unfortunate occurrences matters.

We urge you to understand the necessity of this change, not just for our pets but for the overall wellbeing of our community. The presence of babygates does not disturb, but rather enhances the environment, providing safety for pets and tranquility for residents. By supporting our cause, you are protecting the most vulnerable members of our communities - our beloved pets.

Please, sign this petition and make our community a safer place for our pets.
