You started the name calling first my friend.

I assume you did because you don't have an answer to my post asserting the right of parents to protect their children.

Unless you're some kind of PETA nut, my right to protect my family trumps your right to illegally let your dog roam free.

Many parents of small children have similar feelings. It has nothing to do with liking or not liking dogs.
It has everything to do with children being attacked every day in this country by dogs. after every attack, the owner whines "he's never done this before", "the child shouldn't have run", "he was just playing".

P.S. I don't mind being flamed. But at least attack me accurately. I'm to the right of Atilla the Hun.
Troll is sort of a bizzare attack considering the topic.

I agree 100% ... BUT ... Who is going to protect your family when you are not around?
