Just curious who else still does this. As for me and my house, we shall shred our leashes.

Haven't dealt with one of those things in ages. Most of the time, if I'm in the soda mood, I'll usually just pick up a two-liter. That's if I'm in the mood for soda. Luckily, beer makes a nice substitute for soda :D.
 
I never deal with those things. 12 packs are the way to go.
 
If I only have the option to go down to the bar and grab sixers, then yes, I cut the leashes. Normally, though, I buy cases. PA is weird, and most beer stores only sell by the case.
 
Could you enlighten me as to why they need cutting?
Is it to make the smaller or what?
 
When we run across them, which is rare, we still cut them into very small pieces. All of our trash still goes to a local landfill but you just never know. I'm an avid hunter and fisherman and don't want to see a animal game or non game die like that.
 
Used to be a major problem with blue snap-off bottle seals - Australian Bowerbirds decorate their bowers with blue items and they were often found dead from a very slow death. I always cut them. Not such a problem now as under currrent regulations all snapoff rings must be retained by a lip on the container. Bowerbirds aren't under threat but not a nice way to die.

There is a significant problem here with large marine animals getting tangled in fishing gear - so much so that there are now rescue groups (sponsored by marine park and whale watch operators) that risk their lives to free humpbacks, seals and dolphins and turtles. - BTW, turtle-laying season just started here again - 1st sand-tracks sighted last week.
 
I can't recall the last time I bought anything with a plastic leash. I don't drink soda or beer, and on the off chance that I buy/open either one, it's in a cardboard case.
 
I see the same problem with fishing line. I came across a robin wrapped in it, trapped on a branch, and had to cut it loose. I can imagine a bunch of dumb drunks leaving leashes behind, but how someone comes to fish and enjoy nature and leaves fishing line and bait cups ... and usually food wrappers ... I don't know.

I haven't seen leashes in a long time.

Yep, you guys are strange. I was at Ft. Indiantown Gap and figured this out the hard way. Second day there and I decided I needed some beer, went to a convenience store and found that was a no go, the beer stores were closed at this time and then was advised you could go to a bar and get beer to go. I've been to a lot of states and I'm pretty sure you Pennsylvanians are the only ones who do this.

As for the leashes if I'm going to buy canned beer I get the case or 30 pack, cheaper that way and I'm sure they'll go to good use eventually. Except for my favorite PBR , my local store only carries 6 packs of bottles or 12 packs of cans but at $6.49 it's hard to go wrong.
