I understand your rationalization and am not saying it is your responsibility to confront or report or I had a problem with what you did… maybe I would have done the same…
I understood that you said the dog was running OUT TO the road and the dog owner was INATTENTITIVE and IRRESPONSIBLE, and I fully agree…
What I read or miss-read is the other guy being tired of it in fact knew about it, and positioned himself to show the dog owner a thing or two by kicking the untrained and unrestrained dog…
By being on the road the kicker may have been legally ok but not morally if that was his intent… it still would have been avoidable had he crossed to your side of the road…
Unless I don’t understand the term out to, on to, or across the road as having three diriment meanings…
If the kicker decided to do something about it, at that time it was he that should have reported or confronted first…
I may have done just as you did I don’t know, but I do know I would not have walked across the road to kick the dog…
I just don’t see cruelty as the answer to a problem…
I don't have enough information to speculate what motivated the kicker.
I didn't see the kicker before or after he kicked the dog.
Because we camped directly across from the Dog's owners I saw the dog yip and bite at other people on the camp road, directly in front of owners camp and they did nothing to stop the attacks. The dog would be hanging around the owners camp and run to the road to attack and then stop when the person reached the dog's imaginary protection border.
Which brings up another unwritten camp rule violation committed by DW and I, we'd cut between, without asking permission, our neighbor's camps to avoid the dog :)
