We have been on the end of the homeowner of trespassing dogs. We are an autistic family, we love deep in the woods as accommodation to our disabilities. We have small children who play out side a great deal. We have had bear dogs literally come up on our porch, and had their owners threaten our children and act like crazed maniacs when told to vacate our property. These bear dogs owners couldn't get control of their dogs, who couldn't even come when called. They destroyed property and made violent threats. This bill simply says you must have permission to allow dogs on a property, which is fair considering all the other dog laws out in the world requiring dogs be leashed. These types of encounters are extremely traumatic to our autistic children, especially when the children hear the hunters threats to hurt them.
