[b]You can be right and still end up hurt. 
The above feels like the logic used by people who just step right out into the cross walk without looking/waiting just because the cars SHOULD stop. [/quote]

Use common sense, people - better to be in one piece than to be "right". OMG.[/quote]

+1 Those other posters are like women who walk downtown alone at night. Not safe.[/quote][/b]

You PPs are basically normalizing the idea that the loose dogs and their idiot owners have more right to spaces than people with young kids. Or any people who don't want to be approached, lunged at, possibly scratched or bitten.

Of course any sensible person should unfortunately keep away if there's a dog actually present, but are you really suggesting that some parent already at a park with a kid should pack up and decamp instantly when a dog turns up off-leash? For safety, probably. But how long do those who follow rules have to give up their right to use public spaces? I

know, I know. Don't put a kid into that situation, etc. Better to be safe than "right," sure. But I also notice that none of you above offered any ADVICE on what to do. Don't see any of you urging the OP to contact the local police, animal control, elected authorities, as others here have done. Are all of you above dog owners, by any chance? [/quote]
