[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]his is completely not true. If you are approached by an off leash dog in an area where they are supposed to be on leash by law you can spray it regardless of temperament. The burden is on the owner to have their dog on leash and under their control (which is problem with retractable leashes) at all times. The burden is not on the law abiding person to discern temperament of dog before spraying a harmless spray to keep dog away.

If you are approached by a dog that is not a threat and you harm it, you may be prosecuted for cruelty to animals. It is a real risk of prosecution:

Your links just aren't applicable. Your attempt at intimidation has failed. If you care about your dog, keep your dog leashed in Rock Creek Park and any other places where it is required.[/quote]
