I agree. I had a cat that was more or less leash-broken. I don’t think I would ever have tried jogging with him, but he would stay tied if I was working on something he didn’t need to be involved in or where he might get in the way and get hurt.
My animals are my property. I own them. I take good care of them. If I mistreat them, I will likely have to answer to God for being a cruel jerk, but that’s between me and Him. Everybody else should mind their own business.
If you torture your animals and you live anywhere near me i ‘d want to know about it. You’d be a prime candidate for a serial murderer and damn sure on my list of people to watch and possibly take out in a shtf scenario.
