Dogs Deserve Better Options

Please don't close this because this will really help dogs out. A lot of people still chain up dogs outside...365 days a year, 7 days a week, and 24 hours a day for the rest of their lives. The owners sometimes forget to feed/get water for them which disables them from eating and drinking and the dogs are really suffering from this. Chain dogs have absolutely no freedom at all and they are simply just chained up, this is why we need to speak up! Print this flier out and hang them all around your town and other places. The link is provided below...also please, don't close this topic.

[Spirited Away]

I noticed a few of you said things like "help out fellow man first" etc and wanted to comment on that.

First, if someone is cruel enough to chain harmless, defenseless creatures to face extreme weather conditions when he/she can take the animal inside his/her home, what does such action say about his/her character? That's (s)he is nice? That (s)he cares about others? I really doubt it. I've NEVER met a person who genuinely cares about the welfare of other humans yet be cruel to animals, or domestic pets to be more specific. And if any of you claim to be such a person, I would sincerely disbelieve the authenticity of your good heart.

Second, caring for our pets may not be our first priorty in life as so many other things are, however, it doesn't take much time/effort to simply bring them inside our homes and feeding them. Also, not being a first priorty doesn't mean owners can disregard their pets! If one thinks that one cannot handle a pet, then WHY ON EARTH take on such a responsibility in the first place?!?

Third, bringing pets into the house IS A WAY TO HELP OUT YOUR COMMUNTIY. If a dog gets loose from his chains (most likely because of desperation), he might wonder on the streets and gets lost. Hell, I'm sure most of us has seen road kills. A lot of times, running over or stopping for strays causes automobile accidents. This is no news. It happens.

Fourth, there is no doubt that we should give back to our community by helping other families or the less fortunate, but it doesn't hurt to take care of our pets in the process. How long does it take to unchain a dog and bring him into the house? Hours? I don't think so.

Exactly. This is what I was about to say...if you are going to help human beings first, can't you spend a little bit of your free time helping these animals also?
