How many of those “Pets” were actually viscous animals that were left to roam? It is like the mothers of feral gang members being tried for murder. “My boy was turning his life around! He wanted to be an artist!” Owners of vicious animals often say, “Oh, that was my pet! It wouldn’t hurt a fly! He was good with children!”
I walk about 5 miles several times a week for exercise. I am regularly confronted by big dogs, some are obviously strays, others not, that are aggressive. One last week would not back away. I stood there several minutes until he came within 3 feet of me. I hit him with my hiking stick and broke the animal’s jaw. It still didn’t back down and another large stray came up when it heard the barking. I had to call the Houston PD. This was in a residential neighborhood.
You can call animal control and they might come, next month, possibly the month after. I should have feel the need to carry a pistol when walking through a middle class neighborhood because of dangerous lose dogs.
Hot dogs and Tylenol sounds like a good solution.
Read your profile. You’re a retired professor, a bicyclist and grow fliers and fruit. You forgot to add you’re also an asshole.
Re: 17 - That says a lot about a person’s character - to be supportive of poisoning dogs.
Thank you for being up front about what you support. It makes assessing your character easier.
I’m with you.
