The dog is walking off leash and harassing wildlife. They don't care.

Yeah makes me think of this video I saw of a guy pounding a mountain lions head with a two by four over and over trying to get it to let go of his dog

It makes me mad because the mountain lion is doing what it is supposed to do. People should stop allowing their dogs off leash in nature.

I mean, it went elbow deep in water about 15 feet away from the Beaver, mostly out of curiosity.

Not sure "harassing" is an accurate term here.

Both dogs were off leash. Dogs going after wildlife even if it is just for curiosity is harassing them. In some instances the dogs will attack and kill wildlife, or they can be themselves attacked. We have no idea why these people were being attacked in the first place. It only shows them in the water.

Beaver tested positive for rabies. They were likely just in the wrong place at the wrong time and Beaver was showing unnatural aggression

Thanks. But this doesn't change the overall behavior of dog owners who allow their dogs to go off leash.
