- ARGHHHHH Sorry - but I can't let this be.

- Soapbox ON:
-
- Why do people think that just because they have 20 acres in the country
- they don't have to be responsible for their dog? "Running free" means
- - running deer
- - forming packs with other 'free' dogs
- - destroying livestock and property
- - getting shot by farmers
- - getting hit by cars
- etc...
-
- Dogs should never be allowed to 'roam freely'. The privilege of owning
- a dog means taking responsibility for it by supervising it &/or keeping
- it safe on your property.

- Soapbox OFF.
