Speaking up

[Shamrock]

Do you try to educate strangers in public when you see/hear something with their animals that you dont agree with?

In the past, I've generally just let it go. These people didnt "ask" my opinion. Would they listen or believe a stranger? I've always felt they more than likely would discount it, even resent it.
A confrontation might even follow . Who asked you? (MYOB)

A couple of examples that come to mind:
-An intact male dog, humping mine, the owner apologizing and explaining she was waiting till he was 2yrs - so he would be have a better and bolder personality. (what?)
-A man in my neighbouhood approaching me to ask about the "status" of my small male (neutered) as his little female of completely undeterminable origin was looking for "a boyfriend". (WHY?)
-A woman who was shouting at her larger dog in frustration, pushing and pulling on it, yelling rapdifire commands -the poor thing was clearly distressed and didnt know what the heck to do.(considered professional training?)

People dont want unsolicited advice from a total stranger, I've always thought, so in ever case -though all of these made me mad/sad.. I just let them go.

We all see or hear things out there we believe are wrong
With issues of animal cruelty or neglect - obviously that's a "definite" exception.

But for the misguided doing a disservice to their animals on a different scale - I am beginning to feel differently. I feel a lot more vocal. Why "shouldnt" I speak up, to offer them a different viewpoint, as tactfully as I can.
Is this what you do?
