I AM writing to you in response to the person who wrote in complaining about dogs barking throughout the night in their area.

They also stated that it would not be so bad if it was during day time.

At what time of day or night is it acceptable to have to listen to that noise? Some people work night shifts in my area and there are dogs left out during the day in all weathers, barking and howling for hours on end, why?

The dog owners are obviously inconsiderate people who should not be allowed to keep animals if they cannot look after them properly.
