Maybe this country for once, should pay attention to what the rest of the world is doing and maybe learn something. |
The number of countries that have banned docking is no where near a majority of this world. There are over 190 countries today, 35 on the list for banned and 23 on the list for no ban. A total of 58 countries reported, with over 130 not listed. So, I don't think the countries banning are a majority. Also, if you notice most all of the countries banning are the European countries.
I don't think it is a matter of Americans thinking they are smarter but hopefully we are independent thinkers that don't cave in to pressure from the AR groups, that have determined how the rest of us should treat our pets. Thankfully, I still live in a country where most of my freedoms are still intact, including the
choice of whether to dock or not.
