Sarah, as a animal lover I might not find this easy to say, but as I see it such incidents are a simple reflection on human society and little can be done because you can't expect local authorities or the police to spend considerable time and resources trying to be pro-active about such matters.

Signage is in my opinion completely pointless because the people who create any problems like this won't take a scrap of notice.  Same goes for leaflets.  I'm not trying to be critical but if you think signs or leaflets will deter the minority who cause the problems then I don't think you live in the real world.  Sorry if that comes over harsh, but I do think the idea that greater awareness would change the conduct of such people is very much a 'rose-tinted spectacles' view of the world we live in.

I'm pretty upfront with people and if someone behaves inappropriately etc. I'll usually open my mouth.  However, the situations you describe generally tend to involve aggressive young men who own such dogs as some kind of status symbol, and any attempt to reason with such yobs will fall on deaf ears and almost certainly end up in a physical confrontation.  Yes, I'd dive in and try to rescue any dog from such a situation and remonstrate with the owners, but my personal opinion is that those occurrances are more the exception rather than the norm and no-one should reasonably expect a Council or the police to be more pro-active about this particular issue.
