[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]anybody who harms a dog by spraying them pepper spray or marking then odor is subject to animal cruelty laws. If you are doing it out of spite, not defending yourself, you may be arrrest d and prosecuted. It's not the dog's fault if the owner is irresponsible.[/quote]

No one is advocating just going up to dogs and spraying them.

But if a dog comes up to you, or even near you, especially unleashed, you are entitled to pepper spray the dog. Yes, it's not the dog's fault it has an irresponsible owner, but pepper spraying a dog is a recommended and justifiable course of action by animal control and park police.

You do not need to wait until a dog jumps on you or bites you to spray it. If it comes near you, you will never be arrested or prosecuted for taking preventative measures to protect yourself. It's not up to me or someone else to wait and figure out if your dog is "friendly" or not. It doesn't matter. It's an owner's sole responsibility to control their animal.
