Maybe I think of a wack or smack differently than others do, but I don't think of it as beating. Perhaps using the same word as the OP did would keep it simple and less room for interpretation and hurt feelings. |
I feel so strongly about this, I imagine they used the word beating because they were upset, I'm literally shaking and I know this type of thread affects others like it does me. Dog are not built like humans, so while some people think a smack to a baby fat butt is okay, (I don’t) it's not the same, dogs rarely have fat butts and you can do injury, serious injury. I've read the studies, and corporal punishment, is not an effective way to modify behavior or to discipline. Perhaps beating isn't the right word, but I want people to understand a smack or a wack is WRONG!!!!!!!!
