<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Stop harping on the irresponsible owner as a scape goat please, if your daugter ends up at a party you don't know about it doesnt give some scumbag teenager the right to have his way with her. I am not saying those people don't exsist but you guys are running that one into the ground. I feel as if people are advocating not even seeking amicable alternative solutions. Just fire away with no regard.....

I agree. I would never shoot a dog. Dogs get loose and do dog things, you cant blame the dog. My only problem is the dog owners who do not even try to keep tabs on their dogs. This burns me for two reasons. First: my dogs are keep up with, I would expect you to do the same. Not all people do this, I know many who live in the country and justify not fencing in their dogs by saying its ok we live in the country. Second: If you let your dog loose you are allowing your dog to put itself in harms way, you appearently dont care what happens to your dog.
I live in the country, my dogs stay in the house, the back yard, or are with me. My neighbor has a chow that he lets run loose. My dogs have gone out with me in the fields to play to have the neighbors dog (which is running free) attack my dogs. The neighbors dog will frequently come over to my house and bark and charge at my family, I usually give him a rock in the side or a bb in the butt. This use to work, he is now more brave, he now gets mad. I have explained the situation to my neighbor and his response is "I just cant keep him in the pen". I respond with "then get a better pen or get rid of the dog". I have two young daughters 4 and 5yrs, the first time the dog gets near the yard when the girls are out he is toast.
