yeah, a Pomeranian isn't going to kill you or rip your face off, no matter how angry and loud it can get. Dogs that can kill should be leashed and muzzled in public places. It's common sense.

You know this means you'll have to muzzle your goldendoodle. Skippy is big enough to kill.

If I have a lab, do you think he should be muzzled?

No, I don't think the vast majority of dogs need muzzling. I would leave it up to the discretion of the owner. The notion that "dogs that can kill should be leashed and muzzled" is just dumb. ALL dogs should be leashed outside of off-leash areas, and almost no dogs need muzzling.

This is really primarily a thing with certain breeds. That’s why there should be breed bans. Do you agree?

I agree. Don't destroy the ones that exist, but spay and neuter them all. Not sure what is debatable about this.

I wish we could do this with certain groups of people...

Wow, we’ve got our own little eugenics here. How special.

I think most should be put to sleep. Definitely any in shelters or rescues

I saw about 3 unleashed dogs on Madison Ave in a 10 minute walk. It’s very untenable and the Rover gig walkers are not helping

You saw unleashed on Madison? What kind of dog? That’s a busy street, no?

What’s wrong with Rover gig walkers? They don’t have dogs unleashed.
