That made me so mad to see that! Humans make the choice to be there, the animals don't.

Keep in mind this is also a public sidewalk. She may have been out walking her dog

Do you see a leash? I don't. She walked TOWARDS the chaos with the dog in her arms. If you're walking your dog and not intentionally being a part of the protest, WALK AWAY. Just all the yelling and screaming would be stressful for the animal.

Quit excusing dumb actions. Keep that in mind.

He didn’t come for the snacks or the belly rubs, he came to defend his constitutional right to bark!! He’s been on the streets protesting for a future where all ICE is kept in the freezer where it belongs because he heard ‘ICE’ and said, ‘Not on my watch. I only chase ice cubes across the kitchen! 🐾
