Dont be soft.
Most dogs are fine, and just cos of some bad eggs/owners we should put all dogs on a lead?
What about badly behaved children/kids/youths then?

In areas where there is public walking around then yes I believe it’s safer to keep dogs on the lead - dogs are unpredictable, they can bolt at the drop of a hat , can get lost , can attack or be attack, run off into the road.
Not sure of the connection with kids misbehaving etc ?

Well theres normally public walking around, cos at least thats were the owners already are with them.
There are certain areas where dogs should be on leads, like built up areas and near roads, but in large public places like parks, beaches etc it should be up to the owners to be responsible and keep there dogs off/on lead depending on the dog.
What boils my pee is dogs being banned from certain beaches when humans cause more anti-social behaviour and litter more than any dog.

I would definitely kick a cat after some of the rounds I've had, and a dog and the bloody hamster.

A long time ago a big German Shepherd ran across a field to attack one of my labs when I was out for a walk with her. I was really mad and i realized if I didn't do anything then I was going to lose her. So I aimed and kicked the brute as hard as I could in its ribs. It flinched a bit but didn't back off so kicked it again and this time it ran off back to its owner. The idiot didn't have it on a lead and had no control over it.
My advice is to carry a stick whenever out walking in the country with your dog, then if anything comes near it you can give it a good old whack.

what a lovely looking puppy.
i must admit that if a dog came up to my little fella or family and got aggressive then i would have no issue in administering a swift kick to the plums

It's nothing to do with bad owners. Dogs are unpredictable both with humans and other dogs and should be kept on leads in the vast majority of places except in designated areas specifically set up to allow dogs to be let off a lead. That way people who are scared of dogs can stay away and owners who have dogs that don't get on with other dogs, or let them off the lead can also avoid the area.
Nothing more annoying than taking my dog out for a walk on his lead and having other dogs come bounding up and then feeling the need to apologise (if the owner of the dog off the lead is about) because my dog feeling threatened snarls and barks, like it's my dog that has the problem, that is ONLY a problem because this dog got in his face due to the fact the owner is 100 yards away and not in control of his animal.

Totally agree Pete. The beach thing boils my pee as well.
As a new dog owner you know how your dog will react to people and how aggressive etc they are. As a human being you know what the right thing to do is.
Kicking a puppy is well out of order, surprised the guy didn't get more than talking to!!

Any dog charging towards me barking - or in the past towards my children - would be very likely to receive a kick. I have zero time for dogs off the leash in public places.

Our dogs wouldn't hurt a fly, but they can be a bit over friendly and just want to play with everyone we come across so they stay on the lead unless theres a group of other dogs/owners that we know, in which case they just chase each other round in circles like loonies anyway. Ours did get pinned down once by a larger dog . Luckily i pulled it off before it could hurt ours but had it not let go my next action would have been a size 12 to somewhere delicate. Some owners are worse than their dogs though, when I had words with the pit bull that owned this thing she had a go at me saying it was my fault as my dog was on a lead!:angry:

You need to realize that when out walking you and your dogs are unknown to the rest of us. My dogs are always trained to walk to heel and only off the lead in open areas with next to no-one around. They've the big breeds and I know many people fear dogs.
Keep your dog under close control preferably on a lead in public areas then conflicts would be avoided and any need to kick prevented. P

Maybe the answer is to muzzle all dogs that are out in public being taken for a $hite, sorry, walk.

When my daughter had only just started walking I was with her in my local park. A small dog came bouncing up 'all friendly' and jumped on her - knocking her over. She screamed hysterically and was scared of dogs for quite some years afterwards. The owners? They hardly said a word of apology - it was only being friendly. The dog was very lucky I wasn't close enough to give it a mighty kick up in the air a kick that it most certainly would have got,

I'm sure that would have sorted out your daughters dog phobia.

After the Buccaneers lost last Sunday night, my daughter's cat scored a fieldgoal from about 25 yards. 
The sensible answer is no unless I was being attacked by one and then it's all bets off.

Put them on a lead with a muzzle as well.

I'd still like to know the severity of this kick........

It would maybe have ensured it wouldn't have come back for more...and I would hope it hurt like hell and it's owners got very angry with me.

Joke response is 'yes, if it was trying to kill me' etc...
In this circumstance. No, of course not. I love animals.
I don't have a dog but if I did and someone kicked them, I would be seriously p'd off.
