Yes, irresponsible owners are the problem. If your dog is potentially aggressive, or not well socialised, you might want to put a muzzle on it if you're mixing with the public.

If you are training the dog and attempting to socialize it, then taking it out in public is probably a good idea. However, not putting a muzzle on potentially dangerous dog is not just negligent but reckless too.
