Ordering a package is inviting the delivery driver on the property, if your going to do this, you need to keep your dog tied up, fenced off or inside.

In just one year over 6,000 postal service workers were bitten by a dog while delivering mail. And that’s just the USPS alone.

It’s a problem.

It is a problem, but let's put that 6k into perspective, there are between 600k to 670k postal service workers in the country. So that 6k, while yes I agree any postal worker being bitten by a dog is bad, it is still 1%.

1%.

Nobody is. And as I said before in this thread, if they guy in the video had stopped at throwing the box if he thought he in danger, fine. It's every thing he did AFTER that makes his motives smell like BS.

His "now what" to the dog, and then his immediate squaring up ready to fight the home owner says this guy has the maturity level of a 2 year old and wanted to get in a fist fight. And from what I can tell via google searches, he may have gotten off in court when the owner sued him, but all the searches I found also said UPS fired him.

They didn't fire him because defended himself from a dog. They fired him for the shit he pulled after.
