Some imbeciles will still SHOOT a GSD on sight that is anywhere near Sheep
property.
In PA (and I'd suspect a lot of areas that were once or still are
agricultural), a person who owns livestock is within their rites to shoot on
sight a
dog trespassing on their property.
I like your idea though, and I like Doris idea of "mind your dog to begin
with and none of this will be an issue":)))))
All kidding aside, there's a bigger problem than PR. The fighting dogs
we're now seeing in...errrr...the more seedy areas of some communities aren't
just Pits...you have some mighty big South American mastiff type crosses.
These
dogs are for fighting and protecting the fruits of whatever illegal
endeavors are going on. I fully realize me it's the owner, not the dog, but
in so
many cases these dogs have been bred and abused to become fighting machines.
You aren't going to reach THEIR owners with a feel good display of nice
doggies
(that's the LEAST of the problem!); nor are you going to convince them
responsible dog ownership is the way to go; Nor are you going to convince the
police in a particular location that the nice demonstration they saw in the
park
last week will be the same reception they get when they bust down a drug
dealers door with a similar doggie on the other side.
I'm against BSL. I'd enforce the heck out of every other law on the books
re rabies cert, license, pick up the offenders and hold the dogs for however
many hours the law required.
I have three police officers who have puppies of mine for their families,
and gosh, it's eye opening and chilling to hear what they go through in seedier
areas. Again, it's not the dogs, though God knows, they'll pay for it.
Take care,
