The People's Convoy Can't Stop Their Own Dogs From Peeing on Their Food

Many things have given the People’s Convoy problems, from Beltway commuters flipping them off to their vehicles breaking down on the interstate to legislators on Capitol Hill not meeting with them. But now, in California, they have a new issue on their hands: Their own dogs are urinating on their food. “I do have to do something about the dogs,” trucker Ron Coleman, who goes by the alias Grey Wolf, said over the weekend. “I am trying to figure out how to be sensitive enough to let the people with the dogs know that their dogs are peeing on our food.” “We caught male dogs peeing on it,” he continued while stressing that “food has to be thrown away” that was urinated on by the canines at their makeshift camp. “We cannot have the dogs where we are keeping the food.” Following Coleman’s declaration, members of the convoy at the campsite were left to argue over where dogs at the camp should and shouldn’t be allowed to roam. Since leaving the Washington, D.C., area, the anti-COVID-19 vaccine convoy has drastically become smaller, with most losing interest after accomplishing very little besides burning fuel.

Just guessing. I've never seen a dog pee on food. Tear into & wolf it down, yes. Peeing on it, no.

..if they get the chance. I was watching the corgi that belonged to a friend of mine one time, and the first time I took him out for a walk, he did that. He was so fast I didn't have a chance to stop him, and I was horrified. I hadn't known that dogs did that prior to this introductory experience.

If they will eat poop, imagine how repellent a food would have to be for a dog to want to pee on it rather than eat it.

Had no idea that the "convoy" was still going. Hasn't this been months now?

I mean, come ON. Are they getting paid to tie up those trucks and burn that fuel? Nobody’s paying any attention any more. This is just a hobby now.

Residents of Oakland blocked the road and threw eggs at fascist the so-called "People's Convoy" that was formed to protest "Democratic Assemblymember Buffy Wicks’ East Bay home to protest her support of an abortion rights bill".

Unfortunatly, these nimrod low unformation truckers were wofully misinformed

No need for all those silly “rules” about sanitation and public health, is there? Guys? Is there?

There is a house I pass every day that has a "God Bless the Truckers" hand-painted sign on the swale. Some clever teens took paint and altered the sign. Let your imagination go . . .

Most dogs would chow down on anything available. Must be pretty bad if the pooches urinate on a free, readily available meal.
