Debarked Dogs

[Lightplum]

Oh yeah it does....it means you care less about them...those second class creatures. You don't think the same rights apply to animals as to people? Then it's okay to beat a dog, to starve a dog,to abuse a dog but not a human. We have more right or better rights.....you can stop commenting on my posts...I see where you are coming from

No, but I do think you need to re-read what you are quoting. In no way did I say anything about it being ok to beat/stare or whatever else you wrote, But you can not equate human rights to animals. Or there will be no animals. There will be no pets for you to own, because if you give them the same rights as humans you can not own a human....

Really? So your saying you have time to train your kid but not your dogs.

It has nothing to do with time and training. You can't compare a human child, who can understand and comprehend language, who understands right from wrong... to a dog, who does not understand these things. It's just not even comparable.

This thread is getting a little heated. Everyone needs to relax and read what they write before they post. If you cannot respect each other, then I will start issuing warnings.

I know now that you will all be glad to hear I won't be back. I'm moving...but I will say this before I go...you all make your dogs do agility, be in dog shows, run flyball.....but that's not letting a dog be a dog....it's forcing him to do things for your ego. Oh, boy, my dog won an agility contest, a dog show, a flyball contest......and my ego gets bigger and bigger because I have the best dog....but really you don't have a dog..you have a slave......I feel sorry for your dogs. I feel sorry for you!!!!! Adios

If your kid was always screaming and raising heck and your neighbors complained would you take away his voice? No...you would tell your neighbors to drop dead or move.

No I would not.
I would actually attempt to be considerate of others, rather than tell them to drop dead.
But I'm sure that many people would agree with you, which is why so many children turn out the way they do these days. - Dr. Mac

I'm shutting this thread down. I think we've all said what needs to be said, and the level and quality of conversation have taken a turn for the worse.

exactly! I know I posted a bit back in this thread that it is not right to impose my hobby of owning dogs upon my neighbors I try to be considerate of others is why I bark soften one of mine.
