blame the dog owner first before the driver

you don't need to sound harsh to explain how you feel. saying it's "just a dog" is a phrase that you knew would enrage people, especially those who care for animals. i own a dog. i put up a six foot stockade fence because i felt the four foot chain link fence wasn't enough of a deterrent. even so, i watch him like a hawk when he's outside because i don't want to have to go through the heartache of having him get hit by a car.
to say "just a dog" to people who clearly care about animals is not just harsh, it's assholish. you knew the reaction you would get. that's why they call people trolls. you explained a lot more in your subsequent post - why not start things off like that so people don't think you're a troll?
