  • I have a strong opinion on this, worked with animal rescue as a volunteer back in my country and seen some real shit that your regular dog owner imagine exists even in this world, unfortunately.

    Dogs are domesticated animals by Humans.
    That means Humans, being the one in control/dominant of the dog and not the otherway around EVER, should have responsability and capability to do so correctly, accordingly to the dog they have, which differs from breed to breed due to genetics, this includes psychological traits, physical needs for exercise to respond to their NATURE etc.

    That requires different capabilities and skills/atributes as owner in order to keep the dog domesticated and in peace within himself, the enviroment around that Human/owner brought the dog to.

    ...Otherwise we will start to give a so called "Dangerous dog" to old people to keep them safe? NO!
    Because requires a set of skills and capabilities, that in abscense, would represent risk to the people around due to inability to control or educate from puppies.

    How do we know that the person/owner has even the mental capacity to even behave himself or has the right concepts/skills to own a dog.
    You can really induce trauma/etc due to a wrong education given to the dog, also depression, repressed nature, rage, fear, all sorts.

    We see so many times in the street even "small" things between owners and their pets doing complete irresponsable things with them and completely unaware that that is even a representation of risk for everyone incluiding the dog.

    In many Animals/breeds unfortunately are seen as semi-object of adornance, swag to satisfy some sort of trend/aesthetic that so many people are seeking or to match some celebrity or whatever.

    (As an example, We just need to look at the Brachycephalic dogs, who realistic shouln't really exist or breed because they were created by Humans for swag as simbol of power, clinically they suffer A LOT due to this modified cross-genetics, and the owner who acquires them don't think about this stuff but instead wants to satisfy only themselfes/selfishness acquisition)
    Personally I find this acquisitions of breeds based on looks disgusting and inHumane.)
    I am not saying we should put down the dogs that exist right now obvs, but limit their future reproduction to avoid animal suffering, and also owners/families suffering as consequence too.
    Same as mentioned by someone before, some breeds should exist in certain parts of the world due to climatic conditions - THIS IS inhumane. I hate when people say "ah but he/she is use to it" NOT TRUE!!!!!!!
    Try to go to Galciar or even hang in any part of UK in the Winter without clothes mate!
    Who says Winter, says hot climates, ofc.

    Is like you would want to adopt a dwarf child because woul be "cool"?
    Is the same shit, but paid, and breed to sell and people profiting with it. - Why is that different?

    I think some breeds shouldn't be allowed at all, specially the ones developed to have a certain look or physical/mental atribuition.
    Dogs should choose owners and vice versa based on affinity, lifestyle, comtability in many fronts and of course everyone who owns a animal should have training and competece test AND continuous monitoring of both dog and owner to check if still capable to do so.

    untill then, people/animals will get killed, injured because someone flicked the money at someone as if they buying a car or something.

    Sad, very sad.

    (and sorry - not sorry - for long text and for my English not being the best but I am not British native)
