Logan Williams @obtusatum.bsky.social · 1hThese rates are incredibly low compared to peer cities and the decline since 2017 is difficult to believe. My working theory is no one legally licenses their dog. And is it any wonder these scofflaws also violate leash laws, fail to pick up dog waste, and don’t keep rabies vaccination current? 050

Planet Labs satellite imagery can show us where the island came from — and where it is now.
