Society takes time to change, unfortunately. Think about it, how long ago where
children being beaten in the streets!! I mean, children are just now getting the respect & consideration they deserve--and not just being told to shutup and stay quiet. Now if its taken us this long to treat SMALL HUMANS this well, i think it will take considerably longer to treat animals better.
I read a post here earlier about this woman whos 1 pound dog was yanked up by its collar by a stranger, to be untangled from beneath a chair... and when confronted about his actions, stated the dog needed "toughening up." why would you treat a dog like this?? There are just people who are so far behind in the times. It is sad. I am talking about those people who think dogs should only live outside chained up in a dog house, if they are lucky enough to get that. The people who laugh at anyone who has an "inside dog" and grimice in disgust at the thought of a dog being on the couch or god forbid, wearing clothes to keep them warm in the winter!! Some people act like dogs are rats or cochroaches something. Its honestly disgusting. There are SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE THIS.. people who were raised to think of animals as beneath us & not worthy of kindness. People who smack around dogs and cats and just... ugh... too much. That woman that got up in your face is probably one of those people. Seeing your dog INSIDE AN ESTABLISHMENT probably disgusted her. Why else would she be so harsh? I dont get people like that.
I had a one pound puppy in my arms in the mall one time when i was younger, and this salesgirl got all up in my face about how id have to take the dog outside... she was so mean & condescending. I really dont get why small dogs or
well behaved dogs cant be allowed in public. ALLERGIES YOU SAY? but youre letting in the seeing eye dog, so that cant be the reason... Maybe if we were able to have our dogs take some kind of PUBLIC ACESSS test, where they are tested tos ee if they will harm strangers etc... and if we pass it we can then take our dogs out in public, with their "access pass." I think this would be more democratic. But man, i'm in my twenties and I doubt i'll ever see the day
