Cody the convenience store dog must go, state warns

Cody the convenience store dog must go, says the state of Florida. Cody is a chocolate labrador that has greeted customers at a convenience store in Clearwater, Florida for many months. The state of Florida has put a stop to Cody's career as a store clerk. Karim Mansour, how is the owner of the store and the dog, was given a warning to remove the dog. If Mansour did not then all Mansour, food products would be unfit for consumption. Mansours store sells only packaged and sealed foods, but does not matter to the state of Florida. Mansour was told that if he had a back room where food was not stored then the dog could stay there. Mansour says that if he were to that then he may as well leave Cody at home. Many of the local customers were very upset to find out that Cody would no longer be at the store.

That is crazy! I think that the government has to much control over what people do. I mean what was he really hurting. I mean you can go into hospitals and they have theripy dogs that visit with people all the time. What about people who have speical needs they don't make them stay out of stores. What is the difference? I mean really I know some dogs that are cleaner then some people that I know. I just love how we say this is a free country but it hasn't been a truely free country in a long time. It my be the freest country in the world, but it doesn't seem fair that the government can tell you how to run your buisness.

I could understand if the guy was selling hot food that was served open or something, but it was all seal foods like pop, crackers and chips. I mean I have heard of lots of stories of people finding worst things in package food other then a dog hair. Lets set the story stright here my blog is not about what I think Cody or his owner should do. It is the fact that the government has to much control over the people. I mean just look around, I mean really look around how many things do you have to ask if you can do or get permits for. The answer is almost everything.

Needless to say it won't be long before this country is no longer free at all. If the government wants something bad enough they will do it.
