Dog Gone
While I know I've talked about a lot of touchy subjects, I'll bet this one pisses the most people off. Corral your pets!! Don't let your damn dog or piddly pussy wander around, and if you do, don't bitch when somebody runs it over.
Dogs bite people. Just because you haven't seen yours do it, it doesn't mean it won't do it tomorrow. City streets are not the place to let your German Shepard or Doberman run around free. The neighbors don't think that pile of dog poop in their yard smells good. The little kid walking to school isn't going to think that your slobbering 80 pound mongrel running loose is you exercising your rights. You're letting a potential killer loose.
And then you stupid pet owners have the gall to get mad when someone runs over Fluffy or Rover. If Fluffy is so precious, keep it inside. If you let them outside at night to breed yet more feral animals, don't be surprised when one of them gets squashed by a Ford at 11:30pm.
If I had my way, loose animals would be shot on sight. I'm tired of looking for the nearest fence or tree to climb when I see someone's loose dog down the block when I'm out walking. If you like your pet keep it in the yard. I don't care for it and have no desire to have to decide if it's going to bite me or not. I shouldn't have to worry about things like that. I've got enough to worry about with work, taxes, muggers and earth-bound asteroids without having to worry about if that stupid boxer you let loose is going to use my leg for an hors d'ourves.
