“It’s not cool to leave dogs chained up outside at any time of the day or night”
Why? Is it only appropiate to bring them inside and let them crawl into bed with you?
yes dogs need exercise and should not be left on chain all the time. Keeping them on a proper chain is not cruel. No more cruel then keeping them in a small kennel.
So I guess if we keep our kids contained in a large topless cage, backyard, that they are fair game for the lions too. This was written by not just an idiot, but a “box of rocks stupid” idiot!!!!!
The issue is that in rural areas, a tied up dog at night in an unenclosed area cannot protect itself.
A freind told me he heard a neighbor’s dog get torn to bits by a pack of coyotes. The neighbor lived less than a mile away, and the sound carried quite well on the cold night.
He said it was one of the most horrible things he had ever heard...the dog literally shrieked as it was torn limb from limb, while the coyotes yelped and howled.
If you care for an animal, and you cannot afford an enclosure, it is downright sadistic to tie a dog up in the open, unmonitored for an entire night in a rural area.
People who care about their pets would not do it in an area frequented by polar bears in Alaska.
If someone doesn’t care about their dog, that is their business. But to say there is nothing wrong with it is a falsehood.
