I hate people who don’t leash their dogs. Happens all the time in my neighborhood.

Yeah, the leash thing pisses me off, too. When I deal with your large dog because you let it run free around the neighborhood and stalk kids playing in front yards, then YOU can explain to the cop and animal control officer why you ignored the statewide leash law when they eventually get around to picking up your dog’s carcass.

It’s worse for me. I have a large leashed dog. I get to deal with people who think it’s okay for their 10lb purse dogs to roam the neighborhood.
One day, my dog is going to bite one of these critters when they run up to her barking and growling. And somehow it will be *my* fault.

The most striking aspect, of the rant and the comments, is how many people want to dictate to others what they can and can’t do with private property.
“90%” of people aren’t responsible, so you want to make neutering mandatory. Presumably government-licensed businesses would still be allowed to breed dogs. Advocacy groups whose fund-raising depends on guilt publish statistics that made you feel bad, so there should be a law restricting other people.
I predict that in the future, citizens will be able to videotape illegal behavior, conveniently file the tape with the government, have the computer ID the offender, and be able to sue in a small claims court or press charges. Minor infractions like letting dogs off-leash, or letting dogs crap in the neighbors yard, will end with improved technology.

I wondered what all the ‘no kill’ shelters did when they ran out of room.
I should have known the answer, though.

If you haven’t drowned a batch of unwanted kittens, you don’t know how easy it actually is. Ditto for pups. Stop anthropomorphizing your animals and the problem ends.
Here in Texas the law for about the last 100 years has been that the replacement cost of the pet is all that can be obtained in a suit for wrongful death of the animal. Until recently, when emotional pain and suffering was added to the potential awards by a dog-loving judge. No legislation, just one ruling by one judge.
God help the vets in this state who don’t cure Fido of the longstanding heartworms or the hip displasia common to the breed or the internal injuries suffered from being car-hit. Malpractice insurance to cover this cost will cause skyrocketing vet costs to pet owners, resulting in less care for pets by owners.
Myself, I plan to invest in aged, slow semi-blind Dachsunds and keep track of who hits them as they wander across the street. Money!

Found a kitten yesterday that someone decided needed to live on a farm. That makes the 6th cat in the last 10 years. The all get spayed or fixed out of my pocket. Add to that the stray dog that the vet said would be perfect for us to adopt.
Really folks, clean up your own mess, don’t make me do it.

hm… I wonder if the FBI Behavior Analysis Units have a direct line?

Age old adge (or should be): Never blame the dog when it’s more likely a bad owner.
I think of myself more a dog owner and less a dog lover.

Family up the street from me…where to begin…
A relative recently out of the Army, and his wife and little boy, moved in over the summer with his sister’s family up the street from me. They have a crazy little mix mutt which they NEVER EVER EVER put on a leash. They let it run hither and yon, and every member of both families simply scream at it at all hours of the day and night to come back.
It’s not vicious, it’s just not disciplined, but as far as I can tell never shits on anyone else’s lawn (if it did, I’d have called that bugger in a long time ago). Neighbors in the know, however, told me it has shit everywhere inside the house. But it used to love to come over and distract my dogs from doing their business, so I had to resort to chasing it away.
Aforementioned ex-Army dude and family then move out, but get this, want to leave their dog there, because they don’t want it fucking up their new place! Suffice to say, the dog went with them when they moved out.
Talk about irresponsible.

Likes to drown kittens…maybe the cops should have a peek in his freezer.
I’m sure that some people anthropomorphize their pets but most of us know the difference between a dog and a person and love them anyway (or in some cases because of).

Ditto what Steve said. There is a HUGE difference between caring for your pet(s) and anthropomorphizing them.

Can’t speak for y’all, but I’d rather be drowned than anthropomorphized. If it, you know, comes to that.

The problem is that we’ve lost too many small, farms run by family farmers. My grandfather, a 10 year old me and a box of feral kittens.
“Come on boy and bring that box.”
“Sure grandpa. Say, what’s the boot for?”
“Shut up boy. Get that fire started and hand me my knife.”
And my wife wonders why I scream at the smell of burnt hair.

Well, my Wirehairs are about $750-$1000 a piece, but should something befall them, the transgressor will have more trouble dealing with the 12-gauge I shove down his throat than the lawsuit.
I don’t know about most of you, but as a pretty active Upland-hunter, I spend a definite majority of my time with the dogs. In fact, I enjoy their company more than most people I know. Not only do they behave well in my house and around others, but they can point, flush, and retrieve pheasants/grouse/quail.
There’s a lot of people I’m acquainted with that can’t manage behaving in public, let alone find me birds!
