Well we find ourselves on the same page.
Water, food, cuddle, socialization, love, respect, understanding and the list could go on that all living beings need.
I agree there is not a thing wrong for standing up and
to quote you... "Wouldn't calling "some of us" opinionated be judgmental on your part? What's wrong with being opinionated? Opinionated means that people have formed opinions on things, some do this without any research at all, some do it while looking at all sides of a topic thoroughly, most of us fall somewhere in between. You've got to remember an organism has 3 basic needs for survival, air, water, and food, so of course, strong opinions will be formed, on any one of the three basic needs. "
Basically stand for something or fall for anything and to many of us fall.
To form thoughts and opinions like mine, takes a large amount of leg work that is over the top cause I want to know when I type something I can back it up with the leg work and the research that says yes I have an understanding. I tend to be the one that has looked at it from all sides as I started on one side and worked and learned to be on the other side.
When you are messing with a life human or not or in a brain human or not that is a responsibility not to be taking lightly. What you say can effect a dog or a human for life.
Whether someone agrees with me or not, I am ok with that cause if the one I speak to does not get it, the one that reading and does not post may just go yes that my answer and a dog gets a chance at a different out come that it would have.
We all do not have to agree and when someone speaks you can take what you like and toss the rest but it does not require some like other posters to get sarcastic. Sarcasms is a silly thing and is only used when one is truly unsure that what they are saying has any merit and they may just get busted for being wrong. Our they just learned that what they thought is not as it is.. it is a way to protect ones self by hurting another.
There is not room for sarcasm in good teaching and sharing of info.
