I keep trying to figger out why this is such an issue. You either crate or you don't. You either approve of their use in which case you use them; OR, you don't approve and you don't use them. Using the example of dog might get in fight in the dog park is not the same-for that to apply, you would have to take your dog to the park and go off and leave him or her. I have not had a Yorkie of any age climb out of the wire Xpens but if they did, I would get a huge crate with a top and they could retreat to that or they could stay in it if I had to be out of the house.
After a bezillion replies we are still where we were to start with...some agree and some disagree. I don't think any of our babies are permanently traumatized in either case. |
