QUOTE(mocassinsx29 @ Jun 30 2005, 1:24 AM) Humans hurting humans and humans hurting dogs are two different things. It's like apples and oranges.   or watermelon and melon!  wait, are they the same thing?anyhoo, you have time to worry about dogs and your own life too, don't ya? dogs have feelings just like us. any animal does.

You can always go to your local animal shelter, I think, and help out there. Not so sure though... |

Wow, I'm glad someone brought this to attention. It really is a cruel thing to chain up these animals, I mean they deserve as much respect as anyone else. I'll do my best to get those flyers out

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. |

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? |

Haha. I had a dream about this last night.
I actually had fliers being put up to help save dogs. Then I chewed some guy out saying that we needed to save dogs. [x |

It is sad when people buy dogs just because how cute they look in the pet store but when they get home, they only give them a lot of care for only a week and after that they start slacking off and forget that they have a dog in the back that they have to feed, bathe and give walks to.
