CONWAY — Residents have filed a petitioned warrant article to make it harder for anyone to propose building a kennel in the town's residential/agricultural district. 

A group of abutters to the Conway Area Humane Society told the Conway Zoning Board of Adjustment at its Nov. 16 meeting they were upset about the noise coming from its new outdoor kennel.

Does no one see this as a dangerous precedence? What next….farmers not allowed to have livestock or fertilize their fields because some city folk bought a house in a development next door and doesn’t like the sounds and smells? Perhaps anyone buying a house in such an area should have to sign a contract stating that the new homeowners understand that they are buying IN THE COUNTRY and that’s what country means! Don’t like the noise/smells? Then go back to where you came from! We don’t need or want your kind up here. And I would wager that if the 35 who are complaining at least over half are flat landers who wanted to live TO THE COUNTRY! Also, how about no more subdivisions of farms??? We need the farms…..
