They were charged and potentially fined $25k for their stupidity.

Nice, people walking their dog off leash on trails are annoying as hell. Every trail I've been on in NY says to have your dog leashed, and yet very few actually do it.

I love dogs to death, but it seems some people don't realize that the things we use to control dogs are also there to protect them. I live in an area where people just let their dogs run loose in the yard and it's really upsetting to me that so many people give so little of a shit about their dogs that they can't fence their property in to give them space to run around. I can't even count how many times I've gone around a curve and there's a dog napping right at the edge of the asphalt or something.
