People are encouraged to get pets from the Humane Society, but I wish all people were responsable pet owners, then there wouldn't be so many ending up at Humane Society in the first place. They at the Humane Society really don't know if the pets they are adopting out are free from any bad happenings in the past unless they are told. I am so sorry for this incident happening, there is so many laws for people to be responsable pet owners but then there are those that don't abide by them which causes others to suffer, even their dogs. |
Exactly. there should be much harsher laws on owners. It should be a law if you have a dog, it is required to go through at least one course of training and actually graduate. I know most trainers just let the dog graduate once the course is over, whether it learns anything or not. It shouldn't be that way. They should require the dog to fully understand what it is taught before graduating. I think sometimes people have no idea what they're getting into when they get dogs. They just think, oh a cute cuddly dog. Like yorkies and smaller dogs are the WORST behaved for grooming. And it's because their owners are all, "oh they're so cute they would never be bad." I got the crap bit out of my hand yesterday by one of those same "cute precious" shih tzus. Even our "precious, cute, would never bite anybody" furbabies need training.
