A critique of pet owners? Really? They're getting specific about the best type of bat to use (a cricket bat, in case you're wondering) and advise carrying a baseball for plausible deniability (in case anyone thinks you're carrying the bat around with the intent to bash a dog without provocation, I guess). That's more of a fantasization than a critique.

Also, is it really appropriate to post a critique of pet owners in a Pets forum? That's like me coming uninvited into your house and then taking a steaming dump in your living room because I think your toilet is dirty.

You know, I generally try to avoid using words like “unhinged” and “irrational” to describe other posters, but you’re making a strong case for me to rethink my position.

You know, I don't really care. If the gratuitously graphic descriptions of how to hurt dogs doesn't bother you, then I really don't care if you think negatively about me.

Lady, it would be so easy to just avoid that forum if it bothers you so.

It's like pp thinks it's impossible for pet owners to critique other pet owners. PP, not every pet owner or dog owner thinks dogs are the center of the universe and owners can do no wrong. In fact, I'd say you're the extreme exception.

Hurting dogs to protect humans is ok. Yes it's the owners fault, but humans come before dogs. Always. Sorry (not sorry).

That's not the point of contention, and it never has been.

It actually is. Because while I didn't see the removed posts you were talking about, I know the similar points of contention. People have (rightly) said that they would kick a dog approaching them or their child, which is the fair and right thing to do (or pepper spray, or other means of defense). One need not wait until the dog has attacked you, to defend yourself. No one has suggested just going up to dogs and kicking them, but if one approaches you unsolicited? Do what you gotta do.

Owners need to be responsible for their animals at all time. Be control at all times, keep them on a short leash at all times, train them well, and there won't be an issue. But I'll be damned if I have to wait to be attacked to defend myself against an approaching strange animal.

+1. Entitled dog owners are the worst. OP, what would you have people do when a potentially aggressive dog is charging them or their kids? Just hope it’s friendly???

Keep your dog on a leash and you won’t have this problem.

You’re crazy, OP. We have two large, well trained German Shepherds. They don’t charge people. But if they did, a kick would be totally understandable. I’ve been charged by a dog. I kicked the absolute shi7 out of him with zero remorse. I love dogs. I also love my life. I would do the same thing if a person charged at me aggressively.
