Letter Carriers Set Up Special Chorus Line - Dog Bite Prevention
May 17, 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WHEN: 10:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Wednesday, May 23 WHERE: Cape Coral Central P.O., 1030 SE 9 Ave, Cape Coral BACKGROUND: Three thousand one hundred eighty four letter carriers were bitten by dogs last year, but this number pales in comparison to the more than two million children who were needlessly victimized by dogs. The owners of many of the canines involved in those attacks believed their pet would never bite. This year, the Postal Service and its letter carriers are working to prevent these painful, sometimes fatal, injuries by promoting community awareness and responsible pet ownership. Please join us for this important public education campaign! |
