No llamas (or is it an alpaca?) though

This guy is a llama though I often see alpacas as well. We also have emus out here.
People who own aggressive breeds are a lot like the people who drive big trucks (often the individuals are one and the same). Most are very responsible and cause no problems whatsoever. However, there is a small minority of idiots who can't deal with their inadequacies who are a menace to all.

Not really true -- there are lots of highly trained working and hunting dogs in rural areas. They are not a threat even if they check you out. It's not really reasonable to expect working dogs to be leashed.
