Sometimes I think people try too hard to be liked. It is o.k. for people to disagree with you. That is what debate and knowledge is all about. I've learned to risk being "not liked " when I tell people it is too hot to have a black dog in a pick up at 90 degrees or a dog on a chain with no shade or a breeder that encourages you to breed without health combination issues discussed. We are the protectors of our dear furry friends and I don't hesitate to say something to a parent taking a youngster to Batman movie either. (Very scary movie for pre-teens and younger). Maybe sometimes we can "shame" people into recognizing how precious life in your hands is. Sure it risks being told to "mind your own business" but that's worth it. |
