Dead Dog Beach is on the map!

Imagine my surprise when I got a Google alert that Dead Dog Beach is listed on a Puerto Rico tourism website as a "Place of Interest" in Yabucoa for tourists on the Puerto Rico Spots: The Unofficial Guide To Puerto Rico website!!! I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. I guess it's good that the word is out that Dead Dog Beach exists so hopefully people who tour the area - either from inside the island or tourists from other countries - will be able to see the sad status of strays there. But it could be a bad thing that the government will start up their lovely "beach sweeps" again to get rid of the dogs so the tourists don't see the shame of the government's continuing and overt neglect.

Actually, I have a good feeling that once I hit the "publish post" button it will only be a few days before the Dead Dog Beach reference is removed from the Puerto Rico Spots website (I'm sure we will all know at whose "request" that will be made). It's a Catch-22 in speaking out about the situation on the island because the eyes and ears are out there - I just always hope more of the compassionate and kind ones are paying the closest attention.
