I have to make sure you understand what a hypothetical is first.

Let's suppose that I don't.

Ok I'm going to change my ways henceforth.

Good!

Following the law will keep your dogs safe, the wildlife safe, other people safe, and especially will keep your bank account safe from bail and/or lawsuits.

Rick is referencing the OOT pitbull thread where I went to bat for Pitbulls against overwhelming resistance

Everyone in that thread wants to extinct pitbulls

Of all the many breeds of dog I’ve owned in my life, my pits/pit mixes were the best- every one of them adopted from shelters.

Surely you know that we know how anecdotal this is.

You're insane if you think people at 10,500 ft elevation need to be walking their dogs on leashes in their nearly abandoned dirt road neighborhoods

I'm not in downtown LA doing this.


by Luckbox Inc

What is the native range for dogs btw since you're claiming they're invasive

Do you know where dogs come from?

Its not my rule my guy, its the local law.

I know the law because I stayed in Jefferson and looked up the law before I took my dogs

I'm asking you if you where dogs come from.

You claimed they were invasive.


they aren't native to US alpine environment lol

what are you even doing


by coordi

they aren't native to an alpine environment lol

what are you even doing

10,500 is not alpine.

Dogs are not invasive species they are just wolves we bred

And wolves absolutely are native to these elevations.

Were you opposed to their reintroduction in your state because they would kill some deer?

"My dogs are basically just wolves" isn't helping your "It's okay for my dogs run loose" argument, FYI.

Wolves are protected in this state.

If they chase a deer you cannot shoot them even though wolves can kill deer. My dog-- which could not kill a deer Coordi thinks should be shot if it chased one-- because it's 'invasive".

Then I can see why you thought coordi was threatening to shoot your dog if you don’t understand hypotheticals.

Coordi wants all dogs under lock and key, never to be allowed to run in the wild in case one attacks a butterfly or catches a vole.

He said that someone can shoot your dog for chasing wildlife and backed it up with a reference. If you can’t understand “if you do x, then someone can do y”, then you’re not going to understand how it’s not remotely a threat.

You are deliberately misrepresenting what Coordi said imo.

Coordi was explaining what the law actually IS, not what it SHOULD be.


I take my dog to the Westminster dog park quite regularly

I've also had off leash dogs attack our dogs. One time this old guys dog attacked our dogs and then he proceeded to harass us for 30 minutes, even blocking in my car when I tried to leave. The guy pretended to call animal control then called us nazis after we called animal control on him because apparently he was just gaslighting us by literally pretending to be on the phone with animal control.

In other words, I do things the right way, and I've dealt numerous times with asshats who do it the wrong way. They always act indignant for being irresponsible clowshoes and its exactly how you've responded to people telling you to follow the law

No. Coordi said he believes that dogs not should be able to run free in non-native environments-- which would be everywhere

I don't actually care about the law fwiw.

I break laws all the time.

Dogs off leash because I don't care. Smoke blunts walking down the street, text and drive every day. Somehow I'm still not in jail.

It's very fortunate that because of your texting while driving that someone isn't dead owing to your irresponsible actions.

Maybe in the future some innocent persons life might be prolonged if you WERE in jail.


by Luckbox Inc

My dog-- which could not kill a deer

This is really undercutting your "My dog is basically a wolf" argument.

On a serious note, your dogs absolutely can and will injure fawns if they find them.

He’s just going to ignore getting smoked. And even if we granted that coordi was saying that is what the law should be, it doesn’t even follow that coordi is threatening to shoot his dog! if I say “the law should be you can’t drink and drive, and if you do you should get ten years in jail”, I’m not threatening to put you in jail for ten years!

Why do you text while driving? I avoid doing that not because it is against the law but rather because it seems actually dangerous.

You text and drive…? That’s not really in the same category as loose dogs and weed imo.


I can’t tell if I’m overreacting. I drive around with a small child most of the time. As a rule, I never touch my phone while driving. Nothing is that important…

It's just not. I mean don't do it on windy backroads but really it's fine

You don't even own a car so what could you know...

I can eat food requiring chopsticks and still operate a manual transmission. Car is set up to allow for steering with knee.
