Well I can't tell you how many times I have been hiking on trails and ice fishing and a cat came running up to me and I had to quickly decided whether or not it was gonna bite me or jump on me wife and little kids. Oh that's right that has never happened. The whole point of the leash laws are to protect people from being hurt by unleashed dogs. Every time I go for a hike dogs unleashed come running to us barking, growling, and most of the time happy wagging their tails. But all it takes is one dog unleashed to attack. Also the owners need to be able to control their dog when on the leash. How many unleashed cats have you heard of breaking peoples bones?

Swmpy I truly hope your joking. If not there is something seriously wrong with you. And you don't think unleashed not necessarily stray dogs kill rabbits and other wildlife.
