One thing I never know how to handle: people bringing their dogs on trails in the #PointReyes National Seashore wildlife reserves that have clear ‘no dogs allowed’ signs. In general, I want to mind my own business, but when I see someone with a bouncy husky puppy walking into the Tule Elk reserve, I silently lose my mind. This happened yesterday, and I regret not confronting them. :(

@Cameo expecially a #husky is very bad choice to bring to a wildlife park. Don't get me wrong, I love them and I love mine to death, but I would never take him walking in an animalpreserve. They hunt on instinct and not for fun, but to eat and they're excellent hunters (but lousy hunting dogs, since they don't take their prey back, but instantly eat it)

I am so sorry that so many dogowners (and again, especially Husky owners) should not have one because they don't know what they're dealing with

@AJJDordt what a cute pup! Yeah, all of the bay area’s big off leash areas are great for high energy dogs like a husky- I just get frustrated when I see dogs in places where there are pregnant elk, defenseless seal pups, nesting birds on the beach etc.

@Cameo and rightfully so. I share this frustration. Being a dog owner, and again, especially when the dog is high energy and close to the original Wolf in lineage, comes with a big responsibility. Too many don't realise this.
