I went my local county park, which has a five mile trail and enviormental center. Anyway, I was at the eviormental center with my dad and this lady with a toddler comes in. She went up to the counter and asked the man working "Is there a leash law about dogs on the trail?" he says yes. She complains further "I hate when people don't have dogs on a leash, they can't control them good. This dog was just walking but he didn't have a leash on. Dogs are such destructive animals, etc." and other BS. Meanwhile, I'm standing here watching the toddler STICK his hand in the turtle tank and splash it at the poor turtles, who were under the heat lamp out of the water. The lady came and grabbed his hand and the kid started SCREAMING at the top of his lungs.
I find it so ironic that she complains about dogs being disruptive and destrcutive yet look at her kid. She can't even control him. I find it so stupid that screaming, mis-behaved brats are allowed in public areas but normal well-trained dogs aren't. Plus, this lady was saying the dog was simply walking.
Now I realize that many children are very well-behaved but some aren't, and they ruin everything, just like it is for dogs. Sorry for the long rant, but I am just appalled by the kids behavior and his mother has the nerve to complain about a dog simply walking next to his owner without a leash.
