Default A different question about cats.

Do you feel cats are treated differently than dogs in respect of owner responsability?

yep. Because dogs can seriously hurt people, most owners keep them contained or on leashes. If their off leash, it's usually with the owner present (wrongly or rightly).

Cats, for the most part, are left to roam the neighborhood. No accountability for what they do, since they don't maul people. Forget the fact that the front of our house smell of cat urine because one of our flower beds is so irrisistable. The cat owner abviously doesn't care about that sort of thing.

I've seen loose dogs in my neighborhood probably 6 times in the part 5 years. I see loose cats almost every day.

Seems like it. Dogs are very noticable, cats fly under the radar some ?
A well trained dog by its owner is expected to listin& obey. Cats are expected to pretty much do there own thing, indiffent& seen different. For dogs high fences, chains choke collers commands- can be trained to preform usefull jobs for man.
It seems also my nabor sees there cats running as ok - but not there nabors dogs.

I think both shouldnt.And should be kept under control by there owners.

But can you call a dog with a eletric can opener call?

You cannot control what your cats do. By that I mean if you let them outdoors they're gone to do what they please. A dog you can fence, a cat ? Unlikely.

Yes because dogs kill 40 people annually in this country and are responsible for over 100,000 emergency room visits each year.

They cost the taxpayers ONE BILLION dollars in injuries.


Here's how dog bites rank among other common causes of childhood emergency-room injuries, according to the American Medical Association:

Cause of injury Emergency room incidents anually
Baseball/softball 404,364
Dog bites 333,687
Playground accidents 268,810
All-terrain vehicles, mopeds, etc 125,136
Volleyball 97,523
Inline skating 75,994
Horseback riding 71,162
Baby walkers 28,000
Skateboards 25,486

That's around $3000 per incident. What do you mean by "taxpayers?"

Are you saying taxes pay for all these injuries? If so, I don't think that's so. Of course we're all taxpayers (theoretically), so everything that costs money is paid by "taxpayers."
