"Joe,
County will hold its meeting , open to the public for discussion, this Wed. at 6:30 p.m. Meeting is held in the Gov Bldg, 3rd floor. Please inform that the " Dog Laws" refer to ALL animals ,& the importance for the public to attend.
Food for thought for you Joe---- I ask my vet about choke collars. He does not uphold them because of the damage he has seen to dogs trachea's from improper use. My personal opinion: In the hands of a TRAINER perhaps they are OK, in the hands of the average person NO. I do believe we have to think of the animal first & foremost. There are so many irresponsible pet owners out there using them. An alternative would be a pinch collar, which was my vets suggestion also. Think about it Joe----- I know you were undecided from the last meeting.
Hope you attend for your input for the animals, & you find this interesting enough to post. Keep up the good news."

What a bunch of bull. This is just another attempt to take our freedoms away. I should have the freedom to raise and train my dog the way I feel is best.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot legislate morality and these attempts to do so will only shackle us. We can only take so many shackles and at some point we as a society will revolt.
Instead of forcing people to do something, we should give folks all the information that they need to properly care for and train their animal.
What does the quote have to do with anything?
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame you couldn't be in a
ReplyDeletevets office when a dogs brought in
with damage from an improperly used choke collar. Not everyone
knows how to use them, thats why
they should only be used by trainers.
Take your dogs to obedience
ReplyDeleteclass, let it wear a regular
collar like it should.
Mardela, I sure agree with you about giving all the info. people
ReplyDeleteneed to properly care for & train
their own pets, BUT , pets can't
choose their owners, & God knows
they all aren't as responsible as
you probably are. I'm thinking
these animals are the ones that need to protected . A choke collar , falling into the wrong hands ,can cause devistation to an animal. Taking this into consideration and really thinking
this through ,for ALL the
animals benefit, it gives a new
perspective to the idea of elimination . Protection from harmful & cruel treatment
many animals get from their
irresponsible owners is definately
needed.
Doesn't look like the comment has
ReplyDeleteanything to do with it, But, that
Einstin was sure one Hell of a
smart guy, huh.
how about these bunch of dum ass ppl leave the dog owners alone and worry bout ur own dog!!
ReplyDeleteReply to 11:54 p.m.-----The fact
ReplyDeletethat animals can't speak for them-
selves allows those who care to speak out for their protection.
Those who have vast knowledge of
the animal, their training, their
personal care etc. is who we rely
on to guide us as to what is best
for the animals. They are not here
to be abused or handled incorrectly,
as one might think is correct procedure to train them. Certain
mentalities might think this way,
however to be open minded to the
animals care is the best mentality
you can have as a responsible pet
owner.
Peoples rights are not going to be
taken from them concerning their
animals. This is far from truth.
What is being done is to make sure
all pets are cared for in the best
possible & humane way. Again, I,
as others have stated here, must re
mind the public----NOT EVERYONE IS A RESPONSIBLE PET OWNER ,THEREFORE
LAWS ARE REQUIRED TO PROTECT THE
ANIMALS!!
Hay , liked that quote at the be-
ReplyDeleteginning of that ladys mail to you, I've got that on all my mails too.
Now , for the dogs & other animals.
Whatever can be done by this County
to make Laws for animal protection,
I'm all for it. Even if I used a
choke chain on my dog, once I've
been told why these are deadly in
the wrong hands of irresponsible
owners I'd sure seek another
alternative. Someone told me once
a dog was tied on a porch with a
very short chain, attached to his
choke chain. The dog jumped off
the porch & strangled himself.
To think things like this don't
happen, think again. The one you
protect is the animal against
IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE!!
