Unwanted touching is an assault. Jumping on someone and knocking them over is attack. I am victim of both. Both are well defined legaly.

The self defense and off leash is claimed by dog owners as an "apology". It is not something I invented. Again, I am the victim here, I do not have obligation to study excuses of some street bullies! I just want to get out of there!

> Your comment has the former and has language indicating the latter....you wrote is the most likely way to resolve that verbal inconsistency..

I think i am very consistend i hate both.

> If so, why write about free-range dogs roaming around as it pertains to the attack problem?

Because it is relevant to an attack? Dog on leash can be avoided and will not ambush person from behind!

> Attacks happen for many reasons, potentially including nonverbal clues. Do they happen exclusively because of a sufficiently extreme sensitivity to nonverbal clues that the experiment's control wouldn't apply? Probably not

Some dog wizardy, perhaps telepathy. Dog can sense owner is scared of ducks, so it hunts it. Perhaps they can pass whst they hesr to owner.

I simply do not buy anything about dogs, if owner is in the same room.
