[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's illegal to walk your dog off leash on trails.

It's also incredibly, incredibly selfish of an owner to do so. If any strange animal approaches me, I will not hesitate to pepper spray or hit/kick it right away, and am not going to wait until a lazy owner comes along saying their dog is "friendly."

There was a case locally a few years ago, where a man shot someone's off leash dog, and he was cleared, because he had a right to protect himself and his family without waiting for the lazy owner to make some excuse.[/quote]

Would you attack a dog that is walking along minding its own business?[/quote]

Of course not. A dog running up to or towards other people is not "minding its own business" though.

This.  You might think your dog is just friendly and exuberant, but he might well be perceived as a threat by a stranger if he runs up at them (or their kids or their leashed dog). [b] Not to mention that every dog "would never bite" right up until they do. [/b] [/quote]

This x1000.

Am I going up to dogs attacking them? No, absolutely not.

But if your dog is running towards me or approaching me? You bet yourself I'm going to do what it takes to protect myself. I'm not waiting until your dog bites or jumps on me. Do your part as an owner and be responsible for your animal.  It is NO ONE's responsibility to wait because of your negligence.
