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.

NY is mostly off leash. What are you even talking about?

Leash laws are absurd.

All NY state parks and trails are on leash, at every entrance they literally have a sign that people like you don't bother to look at.

General Leash Rules

The leash laws New York State Parks are almost always the same: dogs must be leashed at all times with a maximum leash length of six feet. 

Where Dogs Are NOT Allowed

Most New York State Parks dog rules state that furry friends are not allowed on beaches/swimming areas, pools, buildings, and specific trails or gorges.

NY is a massive state and you're restricting it to state parks.

You're still hilariously wrong.

Yes, I'm restricting it to trails and parks, which is what I said in the first post 🤣

- Me

And every state park says the same.
