In residential areas, dogs are dangerous and a nuisance, and I believe most dog owners break many existing laws daily. Plenty of dog owners let their huge dogs run right up to the fence and bark at pedestrians. That is harassment, perhaps even assault if the person interprets it as threats of violence from the home owner. It is no different from the home owner standing at the gate with a knife and telling every passerby that he wants to kill them. He's just let the dog do it instead, and it causes an equal amount of terror to pedestrians, as it often appears as though the dog could escape if it wishes. Also there are these stats:
>It has been estimated that 1 out of 2 people will sustain a dog-related injury during his lifetime>According to national estimates, almost 1,000 persons per day are seen in US emergency departments for dog bites.>Most victims are involved in normal, apparently nonprovoking activities before dog attacks.>Most bites occur in children.>Dogs are the primary source of rabies transmission to humanshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_biteNo other pets pose these risks to us. No other pet will attack half the population, target children, and sends thousands to the emergency room daily. Cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, none of these pets popular in residential areas maul children. Only dogs do this. This is not even considering the noise pollution of dogs and the feces they leave everywhere. They are not man's best friend. Compared to the rest of our animal companions, they are man's worst enemy.
The experiment of keeping dogs in the suburbs failed dismally. It needs to come to an end.
