This is pretty nasty , I hope others in the U.K. are not like you. As far as the original complaint why not go after the owners of the dog... And Firesign you can do the same with your Queen.

Pretty Nasty?

It was merely a joke wasted on a fool.

I am one of the biggest supporters of dogs on the trail on this site.

Now it makes sense why you got so wound up about that article.

In hindsight I could have handled that better...

I am a retired veterinarian. Once every month or two while I was still practicing one of my clients would bring in their dog either DOA or almost dead after being hit by a car. When I would ask them what happened they would tell me that the dog ran out into the street while on a walk WITHOUT a leash. The next words out of their mouth would be "He/She never did that before, I trained them not to." I always felt terrible for the dog but it was hard to muster up much sympathy for an owner who let their ego prevent them from keeping their dog safe. It is like a parent saying they don't need to put their kids in car seats because they are such a good driver that there is no way there will be a accident. Unexpected things happen that you can't control, use a leash and don't let your dog pay the price for your ego. Now go ahead and tell me how great your dog is trained and blah blah blah. I promise not post again here and you can flame me all you want.

This advice should be stickied on the forum somewhere.

This thread has run its course.

Please remember if you are totally opposed to dogs on the AT then this subforum really isn't for you. Best to just put it on ignore.
