So that means people have always been defying the prohibition against dogs in the back country of national parks at the same rate as they are today? No chance norms around pets and behaviour in parks have changed in the last 30 years?
Because anecdotally, I see way more people with dogs in the mountain parks than I used to. And not just in raw numbers, but the proportion. Last hike I was on I counted roughly a third of the groups on the trail had a dog with them. That simply wasn’t the case 20 or 30 years ago.
