<<Violence IS... the answer at times.. ....it is the ultimate deterrent>>

I think Jesus said that one time, didn't he?

Polycarp: <<
Wake up all you duffers and armchair philosophers who wallow in the freedom that our parents paid for with their lives and life qualities.
One of my uncles walked across the Italian Alps to escape from those who would oppress YOU.
...and ur worried about a biter dog getting its cumuppance from the bitee? *puzzled look*>>

Oh please. My great grandfather died during the Somme campaign protecting YOUR freedom, and all you've done with it is write a whiney post about a Labrador who you needlessly kicked simply because you were unable to effectively communicate with his owner.

If you are truly puzzled by the reactions you are getting to your original post, stop blaming everyone else and work it out.

Except we all know you wont.

Next!

No people! David has every right to defend him self. I,ll even hand him the block of wood! Cause dogs should be on a leash. I think its more a case of" you can dish it out but you cant take it" please dont ever threaten my poor doggy, cause I love him.lol

No harm done! Lets get back to business.

Dear Polycarp,

I don't understand what you're complaining
about. You're a fully functional adult,
not a child. You see people with animals
running free, at the same time every
morning, why do you still persist in going
to the park at that time of day when you
know they'll be there? Then to compound
the situation, you pat one of the animals...

I was always taught not to pat
strange animals. I'm surprised that
you did, clearly sending the wrong
message to the dog.

And, then you kick the animal for doing
what comes naturally (and encouraged by you).

Sorry. You could have handled the situation
as an adult. Warning the owners about their
dogs (and your phobia). Not touching the
animals. And finally, choosing a different
time of day to take your walk. You also
could report these people to the Council if
they ignored your request to place their dogs on
a leash. And get a doctor's certificate (regarding
any bruising done by the animal) to present to the
Head of the Department in charge of that Council park.

Next time act your age.

So much for that idea! I get the point! It was interesting to read your stories.

Thank you.

Its about the politics not the personal David, and I think you have known this the entire time. so what are you playing at?
