You’ve invented hypothetical scenarios so you can accuse the OP of being irresponsible without having access to all facts.
OP has stated dogs are always collared when they’re taken out.
OP has stated dogs are secured at home.
You don’t know what area OP is in or if it requires microchipping.
If, in your invented scenario that OP’s dog escapes and causes damage, the dog isn’t caught, then what practical difference does it make whether the dog has a collar or not?
In the case of a microchipped dog without a collar, you just take it to any veterinarian or whatever your local equivalent of an animal control office is.
No, it’s about being prepared for the possibility.
Leaving your dog home uncollored because ABCDE, is the same justification. I don’t need an extinguisher, I have water, my dog doesn’t need a collar, I have a fence. Same things
It’s all about preventative measures and responsibility. If something happens, and your dog DOES get out, you’re now not being responsible, I think we can agree on this. So if the chance can happen, prevent it. Like having an extinguisher.
You only think that, because you don’t want to believe it’s irresponsible to have animals at large without visual identification.
Bad faith is saying all of my very real and things that have happened, are hypothetical. Yes I agree the chances are low, that doesn’t mean you can neglect it at your whim. Just like my house catching fire, it can hypothetically happen, so I have an extinguisher, and so should you!

This is obviously (I hope) a very irresponsible and negligent reasoning, no?
People always justify their negligence, tale as old as time.
Stuff can just be responsible or irresponsible without any additional context, sorry.
That’s a false equivalence and a bad faith argument.
