Unwanted touching is an assault. Jumping on someone and knocking them over is attack. I am victim of both. Both are well defined legaly.

The self defense and off leash is claimed by dog owners as an "apology". It is not something I invented. Again, I am the victim here, I do not have obligation to study excuses of some street bullies! I just want to get out of there!

> Your comment has the former and has language indicating the latter....you wrote is the most likely way to resolve that verbal inconsistency..

I think i am very consistend i hate both.

> If so, why write about free-range dogs roaming around as it pertains to the attack problem?

Because it is relevant to an attack? Dog on leash can be avoided and will not ambush person from behind!

> Attacks happen for many reasons, potentially including nonverbal clues. Do they happen exclusively because of a sufficiently extreme sensitivity to nonverbal clues that the experiment's control wouldn't apply? Probably not

Some dog wizardy, perhaps telepathy. Dog can sense owner is scared of ducks, so it hunts it. Perhaps they can pass whst they hesr to owner.

I simply do not buy anything about dogs, if owner is in the same room.

Like dog owners respect leash laws or anything. Shiting on private property is also forbiden. Dog owners will shit on your front yard just for talking to them, and even organize harassment campaign on social media, to get more owners to shit on your front yard!

What you will do next? Shit on grocery store or restaurant? Already happened!

Thanks to people like that we need more cameras everywhere!

What is inflamatory? Assault is well defined! Leash laws are are well defined. You used word "attacker" yourself!

The only inflamatory is police does not take away the owner as well!

That is what dog owners claim! They harass people in "self defense"!

I am not afraid of dogs, I can defend myself. It is just super annoying to deal with people like that and their antisocial behaviour.

> Where I've failed to do so I manage him to keep him away from those critters and people who would rather avoid him.

How does that happen? Squirel comes to you in park and asks "please break my backbone"? And you can not control your dog? Or perhaps you just do not carre at all?

> And I think even when people don't do all that, it's more lazy selfishness than it is hate.

No, it is a hate. Dog owners enjoy inflicting violence on other animals. They go out of they way to enable this behaviour!

If dog owner is scared, dog will try to protect its owner. I understand that part, but I do not get why they would release dog in such situation.

I understand people get scared, and do not control their emotion. But dog owner should still control their dog! Releasing dog after owner triggers it, is just pure hate!

It is like inviting delivery driver to your house, and latter claiming it was trespass!

Dog owners are really scared of runners.

I am just running at park every morning, nothing crazy like randomly assaulting strangers!

> Each dog/owner pair entered a room set up with a screen and a speaker to the left, and another screen and speaker to the right.

I do not think this is realible experiment. Dogs are very sensitive to non verbal cues from their owner.

For example if owner is scared, it will defend the owner. I get assaulted all the time, by dog owners who unleash their dogs on me, in self defense.

Edit: just to clarify

I get assaulted about once a week, while running at park at morning. I was at hospital a few times, mostly it is unwanted physical contact.

It is leash only park full of runners, I have no idea why any sane person would allow dogs to run freely there!

I can not afford to move out. I started wearing body cam, and air horn.
