Dogs are another story. They train their humans to do antisocial or
illegal things.

eYOW! Whatta bizarre statement.

My dogs are trained as Therapy Dogs and visit hospitals, nursing
homes and handicapped children. (And one of my horses is going to do
the same soon.)
As for me, I've never even gotten so much as a speeding ticket. All
in all, my dogs and myself are pretty social and always law abiding,
I think.



Admittedly, my negative experiences are with people who walk dogs in
my neighborhood. Even the so-called "good dog owners" who clean up
after their dogs are idiots. Why do I say that? Look at the brief
conversation below and tell me what's wrong with it. Scenario: Dog, on
leash, taking a leak at the perimeter of a flower bed that is two feet
from the street.

Me: Excuse me, would you please NOT let your dog use my property as a
toilet in the future?
Dog criminal: Why?


That's it. What's wrong with the conversation?



Why are you asking me? What does your local dog ordinance say? If the
law is on your side, then talk to the law. A photograph of the deed
being done is good proof of who the culprit is, too.

One dipshit owner does not make all dogs and all owners scoundrels.


This example has nothing to do with dog ordinances. And, there's no reason
(or easy way) to photograph plants covered in ****. The issue is this: If a
property owner asks you not to do something on their property, you do not
ask why. You obey. If you disagree with what I've just said, then I have the
right to urinate on your dog, in your mail box, or anything on that
property, and there's nothing you can do about it.

With me so far?
