[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ But the dog couldn't come up to this poster if you had it responsibly leashed. I will kick any unleashed dog who approaches me. The onus is on the owner for not keeping it leashed and away from others.[/quote]

No, you morons. It's not. You don't get to just go around kicking and pepper spraying dogs because they are unleashed. THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS. You have to have reasonable fear. And the dog existing does not make your fear reasonable.

For the love of society, go talk to your lawyers before leaving the house next. I'm afraid you are going to be characters on season 3 of Orange is the New Black otherwise, you idiots.

Actually, you are the one who's a moron.

If your dog is not on a leash, it is a danger.  If you want your dog unleashed, go to the dog park.  You are not supposed to be walking your dog around the neighborhood unleashed.[/quote]

Yes, it's true that I'm not supposed to walk my dog unleashed. (And I don't. I walk my dog on a leash, except in dog parks.)

But let's say that I am walking my dog off-leash. That does not entitle you to take whatever action you want. You understand? You can't go hit my dog with a car on purpose, because you see him walking around off-leash. You can't shoot him with a gun, just because he's off leash. And you're a goddamn idiot if you kick my dog, just because you see him off-leash. You understand? Just like you can't kick me if you see me jaywalking, you can't kick my dog because you see him off leash.

Perhaps the word "approach" hasn't been defined closely enough here, for us to be having an actual conversation. You said you'd kick a dog who "approached" you. Someone else was planning to pepper spray any dog who "approached" her. If by approach you mean is lunging at you, teeth bared, then yes, of course, defend yourself. If you mean that the dog is simply walking around, unleashed, and comes within two feet of you - then no, you are not legally entitled to kick a dog. [/quote]
