An over 6' tall vendor selling salad dressing tried to dropkick my 20lb dog, who was attempting to urinate on the sandbags that hold their tent down. She missed the dog, the dog saw the kick coming and scurried out of the way. WTF.
The vendor and nearby vendors and market management are trying to whitewash the incident of a violent reaction by the vendor towards the dog. I was right in front of the vendor, when the incident occurred, it was no " putting her foot out" to deter the dog from urinating, if her foot had connected with the dog, damage to the dog would have happened.
When making.a compliant to the market service desk, a woman volunteer began to be less than empathetic and started to sanctimoniously and verbally harass me about " knowing my dog" and being a good dog owner. No wonder, I left angry and upset and became verbally abusive.
Making me the violator and abuser, rather than my dog and I were abused in a No longer safe space.
