Only 3 months to Moab...

So what's up with not bringing dogs into a national park? I bring my dog out to Cape Hatteras National Seashore all the time, the only rule is they have to be on a leash / tie-out at all times. Maybe it differs by national park?

Here's what Justin (Zeus) told me last week.
Their reasoning for disallowing dogs in the back country is retarded. They claim the dog's feces contains rabies because of the trace amounts in vaccinations. They claim bugs eat the feces and bats eat the bugs spreading rabies and other diseases to other animals, apparently thru feces. I don't buy it, bats don't simply stay in "the back country".

Around here it has to do with territorialism of most of the animals. The dog fece's drives some animals out of there territory when they think something else has invaded theirs....or at least thats what I have been told.
