Dog bites Postman

Michael Recently, a funny letter from the main post office in San Francisco flew into the house: too many mail carriers are being bitten by dogs and this can't go on like this! In the letter in Figure 1 you can read that in such a case the dog owner has to go to court and can expect a fine of up to 1,000 dollars.

Figure [1]: The post office reminds to leash dogs.

Actually, this punishment is still too mild. Unfortunately, it happens again and again that dogs go crazy because their irresponsible owners let them run around unleashed. It has happened to me more than once that the dog of some idiot suddenly ran after my bicycle. The good thing in America is of course that you can really let off steam with the irresponsible person and call them anything you want. As long as you don't get physical, everything is allowed. The first amendment of the constitution guarantees it.
