 DE-BARKING dogs
I just cannot stomach what I just watched on Inside Edition a couple of minutes ago. First of all, the title thread is putting it lightly. What they actually do to the dogs is cut out their vocal chords to "soften" their barks or to completely eliminate it. For christ's sake! Barking for dogs is their way of somehow talking to us. They keep strangers away and because of the barking, have had so many instances where they have saved their owner's lives. This is inhumane and I hope the people who are considering this would think twice. I love my dogs and I love their barks. There's no amount of money that would even make me do this to them. Why can't they just train their dogs properly? NO TO DEBARKING!!! |
