This is a black and white question on the same lines as Brexit. Surely it depends on the situation (and the degree of control the owner has when the dog is off the lead)!

Dogs need to be properly exercised, both physically and mentally. Apart from the cruelty to the dog, an underexercised dog will be frustrated and more dangerous anyway.

It's our responsibility to keep our pets safe in danger zones. However, no animal was born to live at the end of a rope. They have to experience "their world," with the freedom that we have to experience ours.

That is just ridiculous. Owners of unpredictable dogs should be made more accountable

Dogs that can kill should be on leads at all times, except perhaps in dog parks. Dogs should also be on leads around sheep in the countryside, since most dogs worry sheep. So should dogs where they kill vulnerable wildlife, such as in Australia, where dogs are helping to drive koalas to extinction. Wildlife must not die out for pets!

Small, well trained and well socialised dogs should not have to suffer because some people cannot be bothered to train their dogs properly.

It's all about training and knowledge.A law to keep dogs on a lead won't solve all the problems, and could cause other issues.I'd be fascinated to see the results of a survey about whether people think it's currently illegal to have your dog off a lead beside a road.

Perhaps being muzzled when off the lead would help?
