In Michigan were I'm from it is the property owners responsiblity to handle the side walk and drive way if it snows or theres ice or any other problems. It wasn't the mean guys responsibility to make sure there was pet safe de-icer in front of his home. IMHO, I think the reaction by the pet owner was wrong by yelling and that is probably what put the man on even more of a defense.
Although I love my pets and promote pet responsiblity not all people are like that. Both pet lovers and non-pet lovers have to have an understanding that we can agree to disagree. The violence was overboard, but you can't expect non-pet lovers or owners to be responsible for the neighborhood pet population. He was taking care of his responsibility...his own house.
