I’ve seen a huge number of non-stray dogs outside without a leash. Do you think existing leash laws should still be enforced?

In my neighborhood, I've seen a ton of dogs being allowed to hang out supervised in unfenced front yards (often zipping up and down the block and across the street), walked along bayous with no leash ("it's okay, he's friendly), even a neighbor who believed in having a" free range" dog who just came and went from her open front door to visit neighbors.

I've walked my parents' dogs and neighbors with unleashed pets will allow theirs to approach ours saying "mine's friendly" (to which I'll reply honestly: "mine isn't")

Also lately we've seen a lot of articles about packs of dogs attacking people and pets with limited repercussions for owners.

It's gotten to the point where I'm wondering if popular support is in favor of repealing leash laws and embracing a more relaxed dog culture (enforcing only in cases of bites) or cracking down on these owners. I'd like to get some feedback on this to see where everyone's thoughts are these days.
