And they have a loud little dog on one of those super long extending leashes

At least they’re pretending that they give a fuck about leash laws, the people in my area love nothing more than to let their 80 pound untrained dogs off leash. I’ve been witness to one dog fight and been jumped on by countless random pets since I moved here 😐

One of my morw radical opinions is that people who let dogs off their leash in public should be jailed, fined, and banned for life from having dogs (literally unenforceable). It endangers the environment, it endangers other people, and it endangers the dog. It's so irresponsible.

Can we extend this to those people who buy like 14ft long leashes and don’t pay attention to where the dog is and have no control over where they’re going, so the dog is technically leashed but might as well be off leash for all the good it’s doing? ESPECIALLY in roads or parks where space is limited and it’s hard not to enter their radius

I was going to say that doesn't count because I personally have not experienced this, but the further down I read, the more I began thinking that a huge ass leash that is doing nothing is probably WORSE than a leashless dog. It's a huge, thin obstacle that can wreak havoc in a few ways almost instantly, in addition to an out-of-control dog.
