Then why do you own a dog and walk in an environment that is harmful for it? Do you not see that expecting the city to adapt to your lifestyle is a bit entitled?

It’s not the dog-owner’s lifestyle that i would expect the city to adapt to. It’s the life (not life-style) of household pets. Not sure why anyone would have a problem with making a city more pet-safe, given the fact that pet ownership has been core to the human experience since pre-civilization days. I could understand the reluctance if the pet owners were issuing pain in the ass demands, but in this case it’s literally just “don’t throw chicken corpses on the sidewalk”.

When I take my dog for a walk in the park and they sniff out a chicken bone in the grass that I can't see, that's my fault? Hell, the other day I turned a corner with my dog and there were more than a dozen chicken bones scattered on the ground, each with a possibility of tearing up my dog's insides. I couldn't have seen them until we rounded the corner, but she could smell them and was ready to go. Luckily, I managed to get her away before too much damage was done but there was a garbage can maybe 5 feet away.

I feel like asking people not to throw something that is both delicious and deadly to dogs on the ground is a reasonable ask.
