    I’ve got a water tap in my kitchen, I don’t need an extinguisher.

    People always justify their negligence, tale as old as time.

    That’s a false equivalence and a bad faith argument.

      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!
