I'm a bit shocked by what I've been reading. I think it's pretty sad, how much we pamper our little yorkies with dresses, bows, strollers, etc. but when another species is killed by a yorkie, people here are sounding pretty callous. Up until 10 years ago, I raised Bengal cats, only stopping when my daughter came into our lives. Cats are gentle, loving beings. Yes, they kill birds and mice, etc. but I've rarely met a cat that will attack a person; can't say that about dogs. So are people saying that if one of our yorkies gets out of our homes and is killed by a big dog, then it's tough luck for the owner because the dog had no right to be outside of their home. I agree the original OP should be free to let her dog in her own backyard but try to have a bit of sympathy for this poor cat. I have never let my Bengals outside as I know there are many dangers outside, but let's have a bit of equality in respect for a precious being. |
