I was in Canada going on a nature hike, and at the beginning of the trail I saw this sign: "Notice to hikers: Wolves are known to frequent this area. They usually avoid people but have attacked dogs. For safety reasons please leave dogs at home."

Along the trail, we ran across four dogs, none of them leashed. That's not really a contradiction, though. People were just ignoring the sign.

But on the way back, I saw how they might have become confused. There, only a few feet from the first sign, was a receptacle for dog poop pick-up bags.

I think they're sending a mixed message, don't you?

Those crazy Canadians!
