I am one of those people that HATES sticking my nose where it doesn't belong. I hate situations in "real life" (clearly I'm a pushy keyboard warrior! lol) that put me directly into other peoples' business. It makes me uncomfortable and to put it bluntly, I feel like a piece of shit. I try to live my life without voicing judgement aloud if it doesn't affect me.

Now if something puts me, someone I care about (which includes my animals) or an innocent person, like an old lady with a hat and cane or child, I will say something. Because I hate doing it, if I get flack, I usually flip my lid. Or, if I can politely wedge myself into the situation so I can get in their ear (when it comes to dogs) I will.

I think the dogs running around loose is a situation where I would say something. I personally wouldn't go over with the intention of discussing breeding. It seems a little obnoxious to tell someone you don't know that they just shouldn't breed their dogs. I get that they probably shouldn't, but the general public obviously doesn't look at breeding the way we do.

I'd just try to be as friendly as possible, say hello, and then ever so smoothly segway into a conversation about their dogs, after intro's something like; I see you've got some beautiful dogs! What are their names... ages, wtf'ever... I just wanted to mention I've got a dog myself, he is not very dog friendly, in fact I'm pretty sure it would cause quite a stir if your dogs came up to him loose, I've got some spare tether materials if you'd like. I could show you how to set it up... etc etc.

Of course you could just call AC and they'd probably take the dogs or fine them, but I just wouldn't go about it that way. My mom always told me; Unless you've got a good solution, don't run around pointing out problems.

Either way, hope something gets figured out!
