UCF asks fans to help control the pet population...

I actually read this on the Orlando Sentinel's website just now:

UCF officials are reminding fans to leave their pets at home on game day. Fans are not allowed to bring dogs to tailgate parties on campus, no matter how tame the pets are or how much they enjoy a nice cookout. Service aid dogs are the only animals allowed on campus.

In the past, I was told UCF has had to deal with goats, pigs, rabbits, cats and dogs on game days. Seriously, goats and pigs. The school only had to deal with traditional pets during the Knights' season opening game against South Carolina State last week.

UCF officials said they are concerned about fans' safety and will not be lenient with the pet policy this weekend or for the remainder of the football season. If fans bring pets on campus, they will be asked to leave and take the animals home.


Wow.
