Good advise Dand. And a good starting point. I thing this is just what I will do.

Would those owners that allow thier dogs to roam at large allow thier children to roam about with out any supervision.
It is all about responsible pet ownership. I have small dogs and I keep them in the house or in my fenced yard as much for thier protection as for the protection of others.

Hi Ginger. Glad to see someone understands my points. Do you think most people will see these points or do you think I'm wasting my time trying to make a change?

I would think others might agree that we as the "adults" are responsible.
An animal cannot be allowed to roam free to do what "comes naturally", any more than a two year old would be allowed to do the same.
The person that allowed a child to freely roam at will would most likley have that child removed from their care. The same should happen to those pet owners that choose to allow their pets to do so. Just as allowing a teen to run amok and damage other peoples property is unacceptable, allowing the family pet to run around and cause havoc is just as irresponsible.
We profess to love our animals as our family, we should then care enough to protect them, and keep them at home where we know they will not be harmed or harm someone else.
