"JoeSpareBedroom" expounded: Most of us are happy when diaper-changing days are over, and prefer not to be cleaning up crap for other creatures. It's nice to be able to wander out in the yard at night, without having to watch where you're stepping. Yea, but most of us don't hate dogs with a passion that will never die. At least here in wreck.gardens I'm afraid it's only you who lets such hatred cloud his heart (and mind!). -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a It's not hatred. It's realism. You probably don't much like mosquitoes, and you probably kill a few now and then when they affect you too closely. There's no fundamental difference between a dog and a mosquito. Then, there's coprophilia, something which many dog owners are afflicted with. Why they don't seek treatment is unexplainable. Don't they have leash laws in western New York? I have dogs but my yard is fenced. My dogs know where they can toilet and where they can't. It was just a matter of scolding them when they picked an inappropriate spot. As tacky as it sounds, if an owner isn't going to clean up a mess that they are responsible for, the street would be a better place than the sidewalk. -- Billy http://angryarab.blogspot.com/ I'm addressing an attitude more than the physically dangerous or disgusting things dogs do. In places where you're not allowed to keep a goat or some chickens, people are allowed to keep dogs in the exact same phyical confines. It's as if they're somehow considered a cut above other animals, in a category of their own. They are not. |
