Even before that lady threatened calling the cops, letting your dog off the leash in a public, non-enclosed space is peak Karen behavior and also is just the epitome of entitlement. You& #39;re endangering your dog and others.

I hate that woman so much and my heart goes out to Cooper and all black birders everywhere. Birds are for everyone, they don& #39;t discriminate.

Also dogs can and do kill birds and destroy nests. It& #39;s a serious problem and Christian Cooper was absolutely in the right about it. The space he was in was meant specifically for birdwatchers. I& #39;m so, so, so angry!!!!!!!

I never even bring my dog on nature walks bc his very presence makes all of the animals more stressed, which isn& #39;t fair to them. The birds see him as a wolf, regardless of what a doofus he actually is.
