I hate dog owners and dogs Arki ja tavat

in our city almost every second person has a dog, and I have only seen two or three people who follow the rules of walking - a dog on a leash and in a muzzle.
usually a dog without a leash and without a muzzle runs next to its owner on a walk and pesters people around, and the owner not only does not pay attention to this, but often even laughs cheerfully watching the dog try to bite passers-by, especially old women do this
or in public transport - a dog without a muzzle lies in a crowd of people - as if it should be so, and it depends only on the dog whether it decides to bite someone or not.

as the Russian writer Chekhov wrote in his story The Wolf about a disease called rabies:

And Nilov began to prove that there is nothing easier than to kill a wolf with a rifle butt, and told one story when he laid down a large rabid dog that attacked him on the spot with one blow of an ordinary cane.

- It's easy for you to reason! — the investigator sighed, looking enviously at his broad shoulders. — You have strength — thank God, enough for ten. Not to mention a cane, you could knock a dog down with your finger. While a mere mortal would have to gather himself up to lift a stick, and while he was choosing a place to hit, and while he was doing that, the dog would have managed to bite him five times. An unpleasant story... There is no disease more painful and terrible than hydrophobia. When I first happened to see a mad man, I walked around like a madman for five days afterward, and then I hated all the dog owners and dogs in the world. Firstly, this suddenness, the impromptu nature of the disease is terrible... A healthy, calm man is walking along, not thinking about anything, and suddenly, for no reason at all, a mad dog grabs him! A person is instantly overcome by the terrible thought that he is irrevocably lost, that there is no salvation... Then you can imagine the agonizing, oppressive anticipation of the disease, which does not leave the bitten person for a single minute. The disease itself follows the anticipation... The most terrible thing is that this disease is incurable. Once you get sick, then it's all over. In medicine, as far as I know, there is not even a hint of the possibility of a cure.

"But in our village they treat, sir!" said Maxim. "Miron will cure anyone."

"Nonsense..." sighed Nilov. "As for Miron, all this is just talk. Last summer, a dog bit Styopka in the village and no Mirons could help... No matter how much they fed him all sorts of crap, he still went crazy. No, grandpa, there's nothing you can do. If such a thing happened to me, if a mad dog bit me, I would put a bullet in my forehead. (c)

The story was written in 1886, but it seems like today
I saw a movie about a rabies patient from the first symptoms to death. Any horror movie is a funny comedy compared to this.

Nowadays we luckily don't need to put a bullet in the forehead as a solution. WHO reports that "Rabies is estimated to cause 59 000 human deaths annually in over 150 countries, with 95% of cases occurring in Africa and Asia." Dog-mediated human rabies can be eliminated by tackling the disease at its source: infected dogs. Making people aware of how to avoid the bites of rabid dogs, to seek treatment when bitten and to vaccinate animals can successfully disrupt the rabies transmission cycle. It sounds a lot easier than hating the species. On the other hand, adopting a dog should not be that easy and must subject to strict regulations since that's a whole set of responsility. We should not charge all the guilt to these animals behaving in their own nature. Maybe we should put the blame on foolish owners who don't have any single idea on canine behaviours. One can own a dog but not all can lead a dog. These are two different things.

I think there should be criminal liability even for a small bite, and if it led to serious consequences (death), then the dog owner should be executed.

I recently read an article in the newspaper - the owner of the dog was lazy with her to walk and simply let her walk on her own (self-walking) and this dog mauled a neighbor.
And for this the owner of the dog only got three years in prison.

One can own a dog but not everyone can lead a dog.//

And so that not everyone who wants to can get a dog, but only those who really need one, there should be high taxes (so that those who want to think three times whether they need to have a dog) and mandatory training for both the dog and the person in training courses.

Best post, but in the worst historical moment. I understand and agree when people say that, when these things happens, most of the times, the fault is of the dog owners (and not of the dog itself, as it just follows its instinct). The truth is that not everybody can lead a dog, but currently very many people think that a fierce animal like a dog, with wild and aggressive inclinations, could be the perfect buddy for their lives; just think that some dog owners consider their dogs like kids! Of course there are different variables to examine, like the race of the dog, its story, and how it has been tamed... but the reality is that many dogs may be suddenly aggressive in each moment, even without specific reasons. That's why i don't like dogs. Also, i notice that, currently, dogs are more protected than humans, by specific laws and by the behavior of the persons themselves, so i think this is a battle lost before it's ever fought, sadly.
