I am not offended, I just don't get why you care??? You do with your dog what you want, I will do with my dogs what I want.
"This does not hold true for the average family. In the average household, both spouses work outside the home at least 8 hours a day. They also sleep approximately 8 hours. So far that's 16 hours that Fido will be in a cage. Add a couple of hours for shopping, errands and dinner out and you're up to 18 hours a day that the dog is confined".
and this is ridiculous. My dogs are crated maybe 7 hours a day. They sleep with me, they are not crated 18 hours a day. And my dogs are extremely well socialized, healthy and happy and loved
