A birdwatcher who was doing his own thing NYC’s Central Park politely asked a dog walker to put her pet on a leash.
Although the park is full of signs indicating that dogs must be leashed, the woman didn’t take in the kindly suggestion. The owner didn’t want to follow any rules. So, the birdwatcher raged the dog owner after he started filming their exchange.
The birdwatcher asked the woman very calmly not to come close to him, but the woman threatened him and asked him to stop filming. She dragged the dog around by his collar and even lifted the animal off the ground. The poor dog is clearly struggling to breathe, but his owner doesn’t care at all.
Then the woman said that she will call the cops and tell them that the birdwatcher has been threatening her. He calmly told her to call them and then continued to film her. Then, the woman called 911 as she continued to drag her poor dog and even strangled him. She falsely claimed that an African-American has been threatening her and her dog.

However, the birdwatcher stayed calm throughout the bitter exchange, despite being falsely charged. The real loser in this entire situation is the dog who was choked every time the woman grabbed him by the collar. The poor animal was gasping for air, struggling to run away.
What’s ironic is that this woman threatened the birdwatcher that she will call the police, but this video actually shows that she’s a terrible pet owner.
Oh, when Karens take a walk with their dogs off leash in the famous Bramble in NY’s Central Park, where it is clearly posted on signs that dogs MUST be leashed at all times, and someone like my brother (an avid birder) politely asks her to put her dog on the leash. pic.twitter.com/3YnzuATsDm

Luckily, this poor dog wouldn’t have to suffer for long. When the video was released, the dog owner was quickly identified which led her to lose her dog and her job. We all have freedom of speech as a right in this country, but being racist has its consequences.
Since the woman received so much backslash, she voluntarily gave up her dog. Fortunately, the dog is now safe at Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue where the staff takes care of him.
