I hope you meant only in the park or some other similar area.
I CAN’T STAND the people who let their dogs run freely when they’re out for their walk. Why? Because invariably they end up on my property pissing or shitting (Yes, I do have property - I own a house in Kaohsiung). It’s nothing but irresponsible and selfish not to keep your dog on a leash.
Just yesterday a woman chased after her dog as it was sniffing around on my property. I told her to keep her dog off and she responded, “Did it pee?” WTF? Is that REALLY the only consideration her simple mind could generate? I answered in a not so polite tone that no it did not “nyau nyau” but this is MY property and her and her dog were trespassing.
Wow! A lot of people with pent up aggression. I guess it’s good that Desperate Housewife shared her aggressive side with us, that way everyone feels more at ease sharing theirs too. In the end, hopefully it will be a good thing.
However, I really feel that in a civilized society, you can’t just start kicking dogs and people because they annoy you or you feel they are not as well-mannered as you are. If you do that, then you’re not rising above, nor contributing to improving the social conduct. If it happnes by accident, you simply appologize. It’s not hard and it achieves a lot.
Yes, you can easily say the guy was a jerk, so you had every right. But the point would be to show this “jerk” a different kind of behavior, instead of “stooping to his level”.
It sounds like you might be walking around with a chip on your shoulder. I sure wouldn’t want to run into you in the park late at night.
Maybe you can show us what you look like so I can stay clear and not piss you off

No, it’s GREAT to take out your aggression on others. If you don’t kick people/animals sometimes, you either get depressed or have to do team sports
[quote=“tommy525”]get a cat . cats are the new “dogs”
never have to walk em, keep em indoors all their lives[/quote]
Cats! Damn I love 'em! So tasty! Chuck the cat. Get a Gater. Pitbull? No problem. Lamehead Jerkoff? No problem. You and your gater will be “cock of the walk” and the talk of the park for years to come.
Or perhaps many people can empathize with the OP and this particular problem? I’m a peaceful person, but, I never feel ill-at-ease sharing my aggressive side. Its a side everyone has.
The OP did not just start randomly kicking dogs or people. The OP did not kick the dog and person because they annoyed her. She kicked the dog in an attempt to defend her own dog (and this is her responsibility as a pet owner) and she unintentionally kicked the person while attempting to defend her dog. Your misrepresentation of the situation is very uncool. In fact, your misrepresentation of the facts sucks.
Bullshit.
The kicking of the dog was an intentional act of self defense. One doesn’t need to apologize for defending him/herself or his children/pet/property. If, in defending one’s self, child, pet or property, the person or being responsible for the need to act in self defense is hit or kicked, there is no need for an apology from the one acting in self defense. If the person hit or kicked was an innocent bystander or passer-by, an apology might have been a good thing. But, in the OP’s case, no apology should have been given.
In this case, the only thing an apology would have accomplished would be the reinforcement of the asshole’s notion that he was doing nothing wrong in allowing his unruly dog to bounce around freely and approach another dog. The asshole has a responsibility to protect his dog, also… and that means not allowing his dog to approach strange dogs. What if the OP’s dog were animal aggressive and unnaturally tough, or if the OP’s dog were ill with a contagious disease? The dickhead who wouldn’t control and protect his own dog was wrong, and assholes who defend his boorish and inconsiderate behavior are also wrong.
She showed him a different kind of behavior. She showed him that being an inconsiderate asshole might be overlooked or even acceptable most of the time, but, once in a while you’re going to run into someone who will call you on it.
:bravo: :bravo: MR. Tigerman. You summized it correctly and don’t even know me. Thank you very much.
Now to my critic- Should my lovely bitch had decided to turn into a ‘bitch’ on the dog and injuries were sustained what should I have done then. Offer to pay for a vet bill? :loco: You posts I don’t get, and are just one more reason I watch from afar rather than post honestly here.
That dog is just one of the few harrasments I have to deal with in my neighborhood. Let’s see there’s the owner with a docile purbread doberman who also owns a manic guard dog that charges at my dog everytime he sees her. I guess I should just let that dog rip mine to pieces. Then there are the neighbors who look at me and the shit in the road and make monkey sounds while using their hands to tell me to scoop up some strange dog’s shit while I have newspaper in my hand for my dog. ’

When your dog is not on a leash in a park, and it goes after another dog, the situation is not definable as an annoyance or poor manners. and your self-defense is by no means an “accident.”
I only let my dogs off their leash in the middle of the night, 1:00am, when there is nobody at the park. If I see someone enter then I call my dogs and leash them.
You could post that you saved 100 school children from a fire and there would be someone on Forumosa to tell me that you did something wrong.
It happened again tonight. Out walking my doggie and this time, a golden retriver ‘drags’ it’s owner over to my to only try to hump it. And of course my dog is trying to run away from such a large dog.
How much time would I have to do on Green Island if I killed someone over this? joking
Why keep a dog in Taiwan if it’s so difficult and you don’t like it?
The only thing I really dislike about Lotus Hill is all the bloody dogs everywhere, including in the Niko Mart. Everywhere else in the world, ppl are content with one dog… why is it everyone here needs about six?
[quote=“sandman”]I don’t know how you’d deal with them, but my sister told me jsut the other day that she had a similar experience with a shaven-headed thug in Glasgow walking an unleashed pitpull, as is the wont of shaven-headed thugs in that part of the country.
They also went head to head, but unfortunately for the thug, my 120-pound sister has been a judo blackbelt for 20 years and put the bloke in a chokehold on the ground – on top of his dog![/quote]
I always find it strange when people have to highlight someone’s appearance to try and make them look evil.
I know quite a few people with number 1s and some with the shaved look. They aren’t thugs. A couple of them are lawyers.
If the bloke had a beard would you have said a “beard wearing thug”, or if he had a mustache, a “mustache wearing thug”?
I think not.
And how many of them come from the less salubrious parts of Glasgow?
I have a shaved head myself. AND a handlebar moustache. And I’m hardly ever a thug.
It’s a terrible and shameful generalization, I know, but if you see a shaven-headed bloke walking an unleashed pitbull in Glasgow, you can be fairly certain that he’s neither a lawyer nor a Salvation Army volunteer.

You’re not Chales Bronson by any chance are you?
The pit bull would give it away I agree. Those beasts are supposed to have a muzzles now. The owners probably don’t know what they are.
My dad had this HUGE (and i mean HUGE alsatian dog. And its incredible but other dogs continued to take him on. First my dad used to try to prevent the dog from coming over (not wanting the dog to get hurt), then later he just let the sheppard do the deed. Lucky this sheppard wasnt vicious. When the other dog came over, there was a very brief skirmish and then the dog invariably runs off with his tail between his legs and bruised ego, but got off lightly consideringly.
My dads dog was not a killer, he would just pin the other dog down on the ground and that usually did the trick. The first and only time our dachsund did the same to him he just stepped on him with one paw and that did the trick too.
get urself a BIG DOG and let him take care of himself i guess? if you have a tiny dog you may have to find a safer place (if there is one) to take him or resort to just carrying him??

Cake if it were YOU with a number 1 or a beard or a mustache, I DEFINITELY would say something like this: a shaven-headed, mustachioed, and bearded leftist THUG with at least 6 mangy mongrels running loose around him . . . . "
