This is sick and despicable. The things people do to defenceless animals.
I wish we could still have them al taken out and shot.

The solution is simple.  Respect the 2nd Ammendment and allow citizens
to carry.  The problem of unleashed dogs would disappear.

Citizens who object to expressions of public religious sentiment seem to
at the same time support imposing their views on the rest of the
citizenry which seems rather odd.  

It depends on the specie of canine I suppose, some are appropriate for
an urban setting, others are not.  It is also possible to have the
citizenry agree on "leash free" areas so long as it is known.  One could
also restrict by breed of canine as well,  A minature poodle is not much
of a threat to children where are obviously canines that are a threat to
even a well armed adult.

When was the last time you read a news story about a cat killing a
child?

I thought it was "Poisoning PIGEONS in the Park!" [emphASis addED]

I think that the guy doing this is a real sicko.  But I also think that 
dog owners who let their dogs off the leash in public places are being 
pretty inconsiderate.  It's intimidating to be in a park and see a 
doberman bounding at you, barking.  Dog owners generally seem pretty 
clueless about how this affects other people.  I used to deliver papers 
and I've been chased by more than my share of angry dogs, often while 
the owner stood idly by and said things like, "Oh, he won't hurt you."  
A dog that was locked inside a house once broke a window trying to get 
at me -- you can't tell me he didn't have malice in his heart.

Stepping in dog poop left by people who think the world is their dog's 
toilet is no fun, either.

I clean 'em.  Giving a victim tetanus would be considered an aggravating
circumstance.

I really object to attention from dogs - who likes it when they sniff
up your crotch? Amazingly enough the owners allow it to happen while
then telling the dog to stop it. Dog lovers allow their pets all sorts
of liberties that infringe on those of people.
