I know we all have horror stories & I don't think anyone doubts that something needs to be done, But how & what?
Suggestions for a solution, please. |
This is the whole problem. The general belief is that as long as they are kept clean and fed and provided health care that it is not harmful to them.
Dogs are social animals, not like cattle. Actually I feel sorry for any animal that is not allowed out in the fresh air and sunshine daily.
Maybe we can apply to the government for a grant to study this. That is how other people prove or disprove a theory. They get government grants.
We need some veterinary students, or animal behavior science majors to study this.
