Bad people good dogs

Problem stated above cannot be overstated. People with improperly socialized dogs and little or no control of them. I had a small dog that was nearly killed 4 yrs ago by an owners gang of 3 large hound mixes. I was bit as I held my little dog above my head to protect her. When I called the county bureaucrat in charge of the parks to complain about the lack of enforcement he said ,”It’s people like you who ruin the dog parks for invalids who cannot walk their dogs anyplace else!” Apparently my suggestion that parks needed more enforcement is tantamount to suggesting their closure and/or railing against the rights of persons with disabilities????? If the county bureaucrat in charge of the parks is irrational, then it goes that the parks themselves are a hotbed for other irrational persons ( not all of course but enough to make it a poor choice for responsible dog owners). The professional dog community in Rochester usually echoes this notion by heavily advising against bringing your dog to the parks as the risk of injury is too great.
