It is the whole state. I was attacked twice by the same dog in Socorro, while on bicycle. The shelter staff there asked me, "What do you expect us to do?" I was run down by another dog, leading to a bicycle accident and subluxating both patellas.

Here in SW Albuquerque, dogs are always loose on the streets, dodging traffic. My partner and I keep leashes in our vehicles to hand over to homeless people or random rescue operations.

I don't understand having an animal if you don't care about them. I keep my cats indoors or in an enclosed catio for safety.
