You actually can't. You just wish you could.
What if the County had instead of a Humane Society... they had an actual "Dog Pound" that was funded by the county? This place would have enforcement officers that would catch dogs that are loose and bring them to a kennel. If unclaimed after so many days... Euthanized.
How can we enforce others to keep their dogs on their property?
You actually can't. You just wish you could.
Through stricter laws you could. (see above "Dog Pound/Catcher" scenario)
Why should people walking down a street have to worry constantly about getting attacked by a dog(s).
Because they are there. There will always be something "there" to worry about. How about speeding cars? Stray bullets? Falling coconuts?
Speeding cars, Stray Bullets are fired by people. Stray uncontrolled dogs need to be stopped... just as the people speeding in cars and shooting stray bullets. Maybe if the coconuts would fall on the stray dogs that would solve the problem.
Why the need to carry a stick or pepper spray?
Because you can and your personal safety will, first and foremost, be your responsibility. The only truely safe alternative to living in this world might be a padded cell somewhere
I don't think one should have to carry weapons or spray in todays society to be safe. I think the dogs should be gotten rid of!
I worry more about Brown Recluse Spiders. They are nasty and you can't see 'em coming. They can kill if they bite you in the wrong place.
Well if your worried about the Brown Recluse Spiders here in Hawaii...then your really paranoid [
]..... because there are none. I believe you are talking about the Violin Spider which is a cousin of the Brown Recluse.[
