assuming you're not in a designated off-leash area of course.

Why is this a problem?

If I'm walking a small dog on a leash your dog could run up and maul it.

If I'm walking a big dog on a leash your stupid yippy rat dog could pick a fight then get its throat torn out. Suddenly I'm the bad guy despite trying to be responsible .

Before you say "Fido is super well trained and wouldn't do that" you are probably wrong as only a retard wouldn't use a leash in the first place. More than likely your dog is barely under control and will run off the first time it sees something worth chasing.

Given the above, why the gently caress wouldn't you use a leash?

If the end result is less annoying yappy little rat dogs, I don't understand how you can argue that this is a bad thing

Oh man, it's total gridlock!!
I had a friend who would pull his car over and start yelling at people walking their dogs without leashes. I always thought that he was just a huge rear end in a top hat and wondered what his problem was. Your completely valid points make a lot of sense, now I feel bad for telling him that he was a weirdo and that I can't be his friend anymore.

my dogs are all outside dogs and honestly i have zero control over them, they roam the neighborhood and i'm told are essentially murder machines, killing other people's dogs, cats, ferrets, etc. wish i could do something about them, i really do, i think i'd be their victim if i tried putting them on a leash, if they knew i was writing this i'd be a dead man

OP, I don't think you understand that there is a big dog overpopulation problem. It sounds like this solves more problems than it causes.

Last week some jerk walked his retriever without a leash (it was 3am) and when the dog saw me it came directly at me. I heard the dude panic. And in a reflex I whipped my cock out and threatened to rape them both. Never seen such a scared dog in my life.

Last week the school I teach at had a fire drill and as the kids were lined up on the adjacent tennis courts a black Pitt Bull about a year old got away from his owner and started running over, presumably to play with all the kids. It's body language told me that he was probably the happiest dog I've ever seen, but I blocked the doorway to keep it from going in and licking a kid or something. It ran up to me, did that little bowing thing they do when they want to play, barked a few times and ran off as his owner ran after it to leash it.

That afternoon the principal honored me over the PA system for "putting myself between the kids and terrible danger", let me skip an afternoon meeting, and got me a Dunkin Donuts gift card the next day. LOL.

A few weeks ago I went to mighty taco to get some lunch, it was a nice day out and could use the walk. On the way back, I ordered 4 tacos and a medium slush btw, a dog ran up to me and ripped the bag out of my hands and ran away with it. The owner was chasing him, and I am like "What the gently caress man, your loving mutt just ruined my lunch." He threw a 20 dollar bill at me and said sorry, easiest 10 bucks I ever made.

That's my story.

I'd say about 60% of dog owners should not be allowed to own dogs as they are not responsible enough and have purchased dogs for the wrong reasons ie: lonely, fashion accessories, etc

Agreed OP

My two apt neighbors at my last apt had two dogs each and literally just opened the door and let the dogs run out and poo poo when they thought they wouldn't get caught

Literal scum

Then one of the dogs got hit by a car and I wish it had been my neighbors instead
