This question was just posed recently. I think is there is a legitimate issue with a particular property endangering another's, then Yes. However, based on the recent Dpt. of Forestry assessments which were rescinded because they are so outdated, no one should have to bsed on those assessments.

We have freedoms in how we manage our own homes but we also have an obligation to be good citizens. When it comes to human lives, that obligation should outweigh personal preferences.

I don't know that the state should require it, but I think the insurance companies should.

The government should start with logging the forest so it's not overgrown where ALL fires start!!

The bigger risk is the homeless campers off China Hat and in other parts of the county. The state needs to address that problem first before further burdening law-abiding, tax-paying citizens.

I'll go with "no" on this one. If there's insurance on the house, the insurer could do that. Ditto for any mortgage holder. If neither applies, I don't think we should try to regulate stupidity.

To much government control is a bad thing

Well, too much of anything is bad, but protecting people's lives is not too much.

More laws don't fix everything. Especially when they can't or won't be enforced. People should just do it out of common sense.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

BV is not a good quality restaurant for the cost. Have never liked them and always like Del Taco.
