Uganda's development and planners have failed to include green spaces in Uganda's cities and towns. Kampala which was once green is now being denied the few green spaces it once had. All the wetlands and parks have been sold off to developers. Our children have no where to play and our pets don't have where to run and exercise.
This is an article from a terrier in Kololo hill.
Now listen up, humans: we dogs are not only your best friends, we are also your oldest. Archaeological evidence shows that dogs and humans have lived together for thousands of years, and this has happened across the world in all known cultures. It’s been a good partnership for you as well as for us. Recent medical evidence proves that humans with dogs in their families enjoy better health, with lower blood pressure and fewer heart problems. So, we not only guard your homes from burglars and your airports from drug traffickers and terrorists, we also make you fit and happy. Kampala rentals
And how do you repay us? By covering our environment in concrete!
Okay, I agree that it is convenient for you to have human kennels and shopping malls where you can pop out for essentials like matooke and dog food. But to keep the relationship sweet we also need some wide open spaces where dogs and human can take their daily constitutional stroll.
You humans need the exercise. We dogs need that too, but also the chance to network with our peers by sniffing the pee mails we leave each other. And we can all do with some time off the leash to run about and play. You guys go to pubs and discos for that; but what about us? Land and plots for sale in Kampala Uganda
The biggest unbuilt space in Kampala is reserved for humans to whack hard little balls with sticks. How fair is that? From my observation, moreover, it is only top-dog humans who get the chance to do that. What about the little people and the four-legged population? Must we forever remain under house arrest in our family compounds?
Just about the only public space left to us is Kololo airstrip, and I am beginning to smell a rat there. We already suffer many no-go days, when it is cordoned off for political rallies and that sort of nonsense. How long will it be before chunks are sold off to private developers? The proposed demolition of the national museum gives an ominous sign of just how vulnerable the airstrip is. land to buy in Uganda
So let’s get real. Uganda’s human population is projected to double by 2050. By then greater Kampala will likely be a conurbation spreading from Entebbe in the south to Mukono in the east. If land is not gazetted now for open spaces, for public leisure and relaxation, life will become quite insufferable for human citizens, let alone us dogizens. The only four-legged creatures able to thrive will be those terrible parasites, cats and rats. Uganda property listings
I call upon all canine friends to attend a mass rally today in Constitution Square demanding the immediate resignation of Maj. Gen. Kahinda Otafiire, who has done so little to protect the future needs of human and canine populations. Dogs of Kampala, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains.
