Why do dog owners let their dogs go without a leash in places they shouldn’t?

r/

Like cities, wildlife parks, farmland, nature reserves and other places.

There’s many stories of dogs getting shot by farmers because they attacked their livestock, or people getting attacked by dogs while on runs.

And I’ve seen an unleashed dog attack another dog.

Don’t they train their dogs to not be a nuisance?
And why can’t they just put them on a leash like most people?

    i think it’s entitlement. i know for a fact my dog is harmless and i could trust him off leash, but i also know for a fact he’s a dog that strangers don’t know… so i never would.

    Because they’re assholes. Dogs shouldn’t be off a leash in public ever.

    Don’t label those irresponsibility assholes with the rest of us dog owners.

    Because they’re crappy owners. I would assume that it also reflects on the kind of parent they are or will be.

    Because they are self-centered.

    Turns out that owning a dog doesn’t provide you immunity against being an asshole.

    Because they are stupid.

    When something happens to their dogs, they’ll scratch their heads trying to figure out why.

    Because in France there is no allowed place to walk your dog off leash.
    I want my dog to be happy and dogs need to be off leash sometimes.
    I would love to have such spaces but they dont exist or they’re so tiny they might aswell not exist.
