Subject: Question about the claims
ITA that people should be held accountable the instant their dog leaves their property. BUT if you want your dog to bite you, that's your problem. Keep it in a fence and protect the neighborhood. Or the dog should be fair game to someone with good aim.
Don't get me wrong. I love animals and hate to hear about any dog being hurt or killed because their owner is a moron. BUT I have animals of my own and children. If either were ever injured by a dog that shouldn't be out in public I would not hesitate to tear the dog apart AND the owner.
