The man who could be heard in the video, Christian Cooper, said he asked Amy to put the dog on a leash, and when she didn’t, he offered the pooch a treat. “The only way they can keep the dog from eating the treat is to put it on a leash,” he told NBC Monday.

Oh brother - so basically two smug busy-body idiots instead of one. What kind of douche carries treats to offer to other peoples dogs because they don't have them leashed? And she calls the police on him.

I don’t think he was being a douche (and no, I don’t do this, I live on a railroad, and enjoy all sort of wildlife, and it all taunts my dog :)).

It is a great tactic, and it was good he was recording as well. Why should a person respecting the rules always be at the disadvantage of the violator, if there are simple solutions that don’t impact anyone else’s rights?

Now if she allowed the dog to take the treat, and the dog died, and it turned out the treat was poisoned, then yeah, criminal douche in that case.

But that was nothing like what happened.
