I know the feeling of one check away from trouble, & I know how $1, 5, can help. It's not for me to judge, so I don't care what they use the money for. I also sometimes take hot food back to them.

Kathy Deloach

Only when I feel it is a hand up and not out

I don't typically think about it, and if I do, I rarely have extra cash on me to give.

many cannot manage their money. I will give them food if they are genuinely hungry.

Marcia Y

Most of them are smoking cigarettes, I will not give money to anyone to support their habits.

Dave Voiles

I have, but not in a while. Eventually I noticed it was a "career choice" by many of these folks. If it feels right I'll still do it, but not as a habit.

Lee Bennett

Most of people begging drive newer vehicles than I do and have been told make more money than working and don't pay taxes

Sam Ackerman

Oh I could, I just will not. I was homeless at 13yo. Thanks dear old mom. There are lazy people out there, and I'm not going to waste my money on them.

Linda Nolin

No I work hard for my money.

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

Never money, but food when I can and have it.

Laurel Knight

Because I saw many fake homeless people driving nice cars they had hidden behind stores. So much is a scan. There are programs if they want help and are not just panhandling cause they don't want to w

Latterdaysaint

Its better to provide them food then money so cant buy boos with it

Jodi Dwyer

I used to buy food, but they turned up their noses and said they wanted cash. Don't we all.

Kenneth Swipies

I can afford it, the problem is I do not know what the money will be used for. I know Christ said not to ask, however, that would not be a good steward. Then too, there are plenty of food banks.

Sue Brown

Not enough food banks, with little to no "real" food in them (protein, etc). Canned garbanzo beans. Yay. Often outdated, too. There's a real problem, for sure.

I think if managed properly by the Super. The budgets are workable with fewer employees multi tasking and wearing more than one hat!Any buisness can benefit with improved efficiency!!

Is someone who lets their pet off-leash in restricted areas considered a 'bad pet owner?'

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

robert weber

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

Kati Magana

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

Kim Ritchie

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

Ann Thomas

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

Deborah Albright

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

Nic Secor

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

Payton Dixson

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

robert weber

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
