No pets

I just finished a trip there may 2020 and probably won’t go back although it’s beauty was breathtaking, to not allow pets is ridiculous and I’m glad to point out some very good reasons I saw with my own eyes as well as others in my group, we walked about a one and half mile trip around cades cove and I saw what was at least a hundred or more cigarette butts thrown out from the windows of some very very rude careless drivers right onto the parkway ( was there not a terrible fire in 2016 ? ) surely not caused by a dog, maybe you should ban smoking in the parks, and the other thing that was very disturbing the littering we saw on several occasions other hikers that were collecting the garbage on there own again thrown from careless, rude humans, so if they won’t welcome me or my pets so be it but the problems I saw were all caused by humans not pets, seems they have a bigger problem on their hands than need to get a handle on or there most certainly will be another fire caused by a human
