There are numerous water bowls placed by businesses for dogs in Bellingen. There are no equivalent sources provided for birds or other wildlife (birdbaths). Guess they don't have an owner who spends money.
"I get twitchy when I see these communal, dark water bowls that are in front of cafés … because I'm never sure how long they've been out there”
"Diseases are spread through the urine of infected animals, and transmitted to dogs through contaminated water, soil, or food. Experts agreed it was vital to limit a dog's contact with stagnant water."

PSA of old news that I didn't see until recently.
There's an outbreak of #leptospirosis leading to dead seals on the #OregonCoast (I've seen many more than usual). The bacterium lingers in moist soil (sand), and can be fatal in #dogs. My dog is sadly leashed on the beach for a while and mostly just avoiding it entirely (even though we live at the coast).

Wonder if anyone is monitoring #Leptospirosis risk in NYC I think they reported rodent population boomed related to COVID-19 lockdowns.
