I KNOW if my dog bites a child who comes into my yard, I am the one responsible and can be sued
I doubt that is true, it's when your dog leaves your property and bites someone that your screwed but these things are complicated from state to state and county to county.
I understand peoples anger with public lands, it makes me quite angry when roads and areas are closed off in general on public land like section D of the PCT where almost all of it is closed due to the burn last year, it annoys the hell out of me that I could not hike through there if I wanted.
Attacking individuals though is not going to help the matter.
