Dog owners can be...Do the dogs bother anyone else? Dog owners can be especially arrogant when dealing with one person, but they sometimes back down when confronted by a group.<br /><br />In my neighborhood, we had a pit bull breeder live 2 houses away from me a few years ago. Two of my neighbors and I formed a harassment committee, and we took turns calling the police, Animal Control, and the city code office to report them for various violations. One woman called the tenant's landlord and visited his office several times. The collective harassment effort took a while, but it worked - the pit breeders moved out, and took their 12 pits with them. <br /><br />You could also try filming the dog and uploading the videos to YouTube. I've got 15 barking dog videos on YouTube. And one of a Weimaraner running loose in a park. Dog owners fear being recorded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365030194171827003.post-43395882852469424492012-09-23T22:15:00.552+02:002012-09-23T22:15:00.552+02:00Yes, it is indeed an owner issue and while removin...Yes, it is indeed an owner issue and while removing dangerous animals is a priority, focusing on the OWNERS should be the priority.<br /><br />This is why I get frustrated with the "Pit Bull" debate. Its all about the dog, dog, dog, dog, DOG! Sure, placing restrictions on Pit Bulls is sensible, but what is PRIORITY is to place restrictions on THOSE PEOPLE WHO USE ANIMALS AS WEAPONS. Lock their dead asses up! That way, we don't have to WORRY about what "things" are available because the psychopath is NOT available!<br /><br />I wrote a new essay today that you will like.Animal Uncontrolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353756918671252887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365030194171827003.post-5867177757852226952012-09-23T01:02:08.784+02:002012-09-23T01:02:08.784+02:00The insurmountable hurdle with the notion of unive...The insurmountable hurdle with the notion of universal dog destruction is the moral issue - the fact that human existence for so many people has become a hellhole not because of dogs, but because of their owners.<br /><br />Destroying millions of owners would probably upset them somewhat despite my feeling that this course appears appropriate.<br /><br />But looking deeper, we realise that it's not so much the owners themselves, but the abominable attitudes they have, in particular - extreme selfishness. <br /><br />One can demolish dogs, and one can demolish owners, but what really needs destruction most is owner arrogance, selfishness and self-righteousness. These qualities are intangibles - that is, you can't get your hands on them. <br /><br />Additionally we must face the fact that until those hideous qualities are destroyed, dog owners are free to find another vehicle for their wretched expression even if the planet contained not a aingle dog anywhere.<br /><br />So what's needed most is an enlightened and substantial change in human thinking.<br /><br />I perceive no signs of this.

I wrote an essay earlier this year, "Overton Window of Political possibility" where I posited that the "cravers" may wind up with their heads in a noose.<br /><br />Declaring all loose dogs "varmints" and shoot on sight is only a pen stroke away. Dogs do not have civil rights anywhere that I know of.Animal Uncontrolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353756918671252887noreply@blogger.com
