ok .. in the 1st place. no one mentioned that they hate dogs! and by u guys assuming that they or we hate dogs does that means that you are saying that you hate kids? and scared that kids will bite u as the dogs did. kids don't harm ppl when ppl beat them or scare them. they run away and cry.that's part of them growing up.How their parents educate them. it's definitely up to their parents, and somehow this kids will go to school and will be thought on education. I wonder why are u putting dog = baby? comparing? haiz. think again/ we grow up..children do too! at a point of time. they will know not to cry but act as any civilised ppl.Didn't you dog lovers go through this phase?
anyway, we are saying please leash your dog, reason no 1.
1. We are leaving in multiracial country. Some religion are not allowed to be in direct contact with dogs. so by putting up the muzzle, it prevents the dog from biting.. or shall i say licking us.. since u mentioned that dogs don't really bite if we don't attack.
And for those who says kids are annoying,irritating? Don't you guys have kids? I mean kids are our own blood, if your own bllod cries, u will feel the hurt and definitely find means to stop the baby from crying.. and every human will definitely have a child of their own irregardless your race or religion!
unless u are telling me that you give birth to dogs?no hard feelings here, but i just feel that u guys love the dogs too much that you guys are blind to see the subject header of the thread! we do not request for dogs to be banned! all we ask for is to be considerate and do the neccesary.
2. If you don't leash your dog.. eg.. those kids who are going to school or happen to go elsewhere... sees your dog, got scared and ran away.
the dog will think that the kid is playing with him and chase after him..
your coorperation is much appreciated!
I do agree with you that dog owners should leash their dogs.
1. To avoid trouble
2. Dog getting run down by a car
3. Chasing ppl
4. Prevent them from going close to Muslims.
I am a dog owner and I leash my dogs at all times.
But you have to really sit down and run through the thread page by page on how every one is condemning dogs? Its not an assumption.
A dog's mentality can be compared as a child, because it does not really understand what is going on. If its a puppy, it would also run away to hide if you beat it. It will not attack you back. Because it does not even know why u beat it. At least a child has tears to child and tell how miserable they feel. While dogs can't cry so you may think they dun feel sad.
Dogs are kids to us does not mean we give birth to them. It just means that we take care of them like kids. We feed them, bathe them, nurture them. While kids go to school , canines go to dog training school too. I had me and my dog attended canine school and we even have a certificate for it.
Well... Not all dogs are trained. But as long as the dog owners follow the rules there is no reason to stereotype and trash dogs and dogs owners on the whole. E.g. Post like this :
"Agressive dog; owner says dog bites her in vagina, Dog bite victim , Dog Bites 11-Year-Old Boy In Face, Call the AVA, Watch out for this lady, Watch out for this indian guy who brings his German Shepard.... etc..."
Is just very offending... Do dog owners Not deserve respect bcos they own a dog? Do you mean that dog owners can be bullied and picked on just bcos they keep a dog which is so vulnerable to complains.
As a matter a fact, I would like to point out that I appreciate those Muslims that actually tell their kids that dogs are nothing to be afraid of. And encourage them not to run or shun them. This is greatly respectable! By doing this, you will lessen the fear of kids running when they see dogs. So dogs won't chase. Its a win-win situation.
See... The point is... if you respect other people. Other people will return the respect double and appreciate you even more. If dog haters were to trash dog owners do you think dog owners were to be happy?
I believe the younger generation dog owners all leash their dogs. Two possibilities of dog owners that do not leash their dogs are:
1. Old people.
2. Those ppl who just got a dog and is unaware of the rules and regulations
By go up to them and telling them politely, why it is important to leash a dog. It might make more sense than telling them something in a rude manner as they will not feel obliged to listen to you.
I urge neighbors to use the humble approach.
