The Chicago Park District also recommends a 50 pound link chain be used at the local off-leash dog park (or Dog ‘Friendly’ Area):

We’ve been wondering where the bureaucrats at the CPD came up with this idea, but thanks to the Internets we think we’ve found it!

Our guess is that during their travels our sign makers encountered this fellow –

What a splendid way to curb your hyena!

Perhaps this revision of the sign would be a more honest depiction of what the CPD thinks of us.
