I know this opinion is provocative but I for one would like to taser, pepper spray or beat the owners of these animals. At the very least these people choose to allow an aggressive animal to exist and fail to adequately control it. Just about any dog will get loose at one point in their life, so unless you’re living on your own 120 keeping an aggressive animal is no different to me than sitting in a bar drinking for several hours and then getting into your car.
Just today, a woman was placing her order at the McDonalds Drive-thru. A man was “walking” his Boxer WITHOUT a leash. The dog went bounding up to the woman’s car and promptly scratched the heck out of it. He took off before the police showed up. Who does that? Why do people think they can just let their dogs run loose? If I were Queen of the world for the day, people like this would never be permitted to own another dog as long as they lived.
When the Judge asked my daughter what punishment she thought the owner of the dog that attacked her should have my daughter responded “I don’t want her to ever have another dog.” The Judge agreed, but told her that he was only able to make this a condition of her five year probation. Why is it that we cannot deem some pet owners unfit and forbid them from ever owning another animal?
