IMO the dog is not enjoying life and the people are not enjoying the dog. so what sense does it make to have one.
I see dogs on chains and in kennels and someone goes out to feed and water them once a day, if the dog is lucky. In the summer time the kennels stink and the dogs are pestered by flies.
I just don't understand it.
I think cities should pass an ordinance that dogs cannot be left outside for over 12 hours per day. When I get to be mayor that will be my first order of business. |
my outside dog would do nothing but cry for 12 hours a day then. he really hates being inside. I would prefer he ws inside but he loves to run and play and doesnt' even want to be inside at night.
if rules were passed that dogs could only be outside for 12 hours a day then what woudl happen to all the dogs who are outside and thier families couldnt' bring them in... maybe a child with allergies. would those dogs just have to be put to sleep? There are all kinds of reasons people do the things they do some good some bad. MY courage is feed very well happy social and very healthy. IMO it's beter to have a happy healthy outside dog than a miserable inside dog without enough exercise if that is where they want to be.
I would never put my yorkie outside because it would be too dangerous for him ( not that he would want out there anyway) we have many larger dogs that roam free and hawks that will eat small animals like him ( the way he hops around a hawk would probably think he was getting a rabbit)
