I didn't turn anything upside down. Both of you completely misunderstood my point. You're not looking at it objectively. It's not about cleaning up after other dogs. It's not owners that let theirs dogs roam around campgrounds unleashed. It's about bringing an improperly socialized dog into an environment where he might get aggressive regardless of who instigates it.
Im sorry. Please tell me how the pit acted aggressively? Maybe I missed the part where he became defensive and aggressive and started the fight.
I deal with this ALL the time. I just accept the fact that some people don't take the time to train and socialize their dogs. There's ALWAYS at least 3 or 4 dogs at the beach that don't like to have their "space" violated and therefore get aggressive/defensive and try to start a fight. My lab just shrugs it off like "what was his problem?" and we continue on. IMO, shouldn't be taking a dog out into public that reacts that way. But people do and I deal with it. Again, not justifying the pit owner not heeding the rules, but that wasn't my point.
