must be a slow week on 'ethical' debates, the players are at each others throats over a bad dog/owner story. |
|
Bringing an uncontrollable hound to the crag endangering others is an ethical debate. |

That would be a great route name. "Falling dog" |

I can't stand the dog worshipping cult in the climbing world. I don't love your dog. I don't want it sniffing me, standing on my rope, or falling on me from the freakin wall! Your dog does not have a certain unalienable right to run all over the crag. Put that thing on a leash! |
|
^+1. poorly behaved kids at the crag suck too, difference is you can't kick them in the throat without getting arrested. |
|
I was belaying next to a stream the other day. A nice couple with a nice wet dog came by. I felt like "Cleveland" in the bathtub as the I saw the dog think about shaking, get closer, get wetter, no no no no no no no no |
|
BOOM BOXES are OK to bring also. |

Ill get my revenge by pooping in the trail and barking every time my master climbs!!! |
|
Pooping on the trail is LAME! |
|
Sorry Price, not all of us are on a trustfund and travel around all year livin' the dream with our well-behaved dogs. |
|
Can we maybe just get an entire Forum devoted to the dog debate? Gear, General, Lost and Found, For Sale, Regional, Dogs, Overpriced Gunks Daypasses, Site Help. I really think we'd have enough new content to keep it fresh. |

I usually don't give a shit whether a dog is at the crag or not, until it starts doing something stupid or dangerous. I personally leave my dog at home when climbing, unless I'm on a road trip where I'm forced to bring her along. She gets bored at the crags and usually just sleeps in the shade anyhow, so I figure I might as well just let her do that at home... |
|
Voice / sight rules just lend themselves to bad owners becoming worse owners. All dogs should be on a leash or left at home. |

CJC wrote:my dog has just as much a right...Actually it doesn't. Animals are considered property and are to be controlled by owners. You are liable for anything your dog does as opposed to other people who are only liable for their own actions. Not to mention most parks have leash laws. |
|
So, was the dog okay? lol. I like the OP's writing, "the dog was robustly climbing boulders." Sounds cute! |
