1 in 1,000 perhaps. And that is usually a physical deformity that can be corrected.

I’m disappointed that this is a poll anywhere, but especially in our community. Please don’t encourage hate and oppression. This is ridiculous. Take it down.

Just because you don't agree with something, that does not mean you hate it. or hate some one.

Trans/nonbinary identities aren’t actually up for debate and it’s dangerously irresponsible for you, KTVZ, to use these topics for polls, further the dehumanizing of trans folks instead of education.

Really, Louise Baker? How is it a problem for businesses to add one measly little line to help people who are already marginalized feel just a little less marginalized? It literally costs NOTHING.

Ask any obstetrician and they will tell you that they have never delivered anything other than a male or a female.

You apparently haven't asked any obstetrician. Approximately one in sixty babies are born intersex.

encouraging gender dysphoria (a mental illness) is not tenable.

Men are men & women are women. It is not fair to businesses to have to accommodate people’s personal gender choices.

Businesses shouldnt have to cater to them and people shouldnt have to be uncomfortable watching them. It's just unamerican.

Because they can be what they want, but we should not allow genger changes some people want. Our gender is decided for us in the womb. Therefore I believe this country should not allow nor change it.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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?
