Sorry, keeping pets on a leash is not an "individual need." It's the law in most areas around here, as is cleaning up after your pets. If you choose to do otherwise, you are the crazy and anti-social one.[/quote]

If that was the limit of your demands, I might agree with you. However, you're also demanding a ban on retractable leashes, insisting that no dog be allowed in an outdoor seating area at a restaurant, and whining because some dog sniffed you or a kid.

You're an anxious, paranoid nut. [/quote]

You are conflating many, many different posters. I personally don't care about retractable leashes if you can keep your dog under control and not have your stupid leash get entangled in everything. I don't care if you bring your dog to a restaurant or business that allows it, and I don't even care if you sneak your dog onto an outdoor patio. I do find it unacceptable for anyone's dog to run around unleashed unless they are at a dog park or other appropriate venue. I think that people are right to feel annoyed when dogs run up to them or their children and sniff or lick them. Of course it happens, even when on leash, but a considerate dog owner will be cognizant of what their animal is doing.

I am neither anxious nor paranoid, but I do know a lot of people who are dog-phobic BECAUSE irresponsible dog owners let their dogs off leash. Remember that little boy with the hero cat? He might well be dog-phobic now, and for someone like you to say that he needs to stay inside forever because you want to let your dog do whatever it wants is the definition of anti-social.[/quote]
