[pct-l] Dogs on the trail

[jason moores]

Buzz off Fuzz.

My loudmouth comment was posted over and hour before monty listed his stories. My comments were directed at people making threats against dogs/owners. Although my comments were not directed at you, they are now. You are a loudmouth and a braggart. And I'll tell ya: I don't give a f**K if you carry more than pepper spray, tough guy.

> In case you want a read on who here is a loudmouth or a bragger, if being chased down by 7 dogs or cornered into a bee's hive is bragging in your opinion, and I'm not saying you are saying it is, keep in mind that the comments being made on here are very worthwhile.  When a guy has a list that is long, and it's only a partial list, of the bad encounters he's had with dogs, I think that by sharing that people, especially dog owners, could gain some perspective on what it's like to have Dobermans growling and cornering you while the owners are nowhere in site.  It also makes for being able to avoid some dangerous and possibly sad situations.  I have heard Bob loud and clear about his stance on how attacking dogs would be treated.  He didn't have to give you that insight.  I don't have to give you mine.  Again, by all means, if you think your dog can handle being out on the trail, that is awesome.  I'm sure it would be fun to have your dog out there.  I can
>  imagine having one out there if I had the time to actually own a dog.  I can understand, see your point of view, etc.  For me, though, being attacked is being attacked.  Period.  Bob, I, and others are just trying to let you know it's not ok that the dog attacks because you don't believe it would attack, and because there is a human somewhere that gets it its shots and calls it by a name.

> A few other things to consider here, per Eric's comments: Most of the "vitriolic" posters to this list wont be on the trail this year. Also, I find that loudmouths tend to be weaklings in the end. More than a few will drop off the trail in first 200 miles. Hell, I might not make it either.
