Easily mandated eh? I can easily pick up my 50 lb hound and control her. Who's to judge if a dog is being controlled or if it was distrubing someone? Someone with an extreme fear of dogs may be distrubed just be the dog being there? Should it therefor be removed. The whole issue is MORE easily avoided by just not allowing them in the first place, thus eliminating any gray area and only displeasing a very small portion of society.

I DO think that a dog should have the same rights as a human (within their ability of course... I mean, they cant really vote.. but my vote is half for Roxy and half for me. ) |
Oh I don't think you're crazy...I know lots of people who's dogs ARE "their kids." I just disagree with your logic that dogs and humans are "equal" and therefore should have equal rights in society. But hey, we all have different opinions.
