"Liberty"

Liberty to do the fuck as they wish, when they wish, how and where they wish with no regard for others, people, aimals or property. Often at our expense.

I've said for years you should have to have a licence to breed and the dogs you sell should be chipped so they are traceable to owner and breeder. If you sold a pup to someone without a licence it would have to be spayed/ neutered. This would mean no inbreeding and no more abandoned untraceable dogs. It would push the price of pets up enormously I would imagine but to me if your willing to pay a larger amount of money for an animal it s out some of the people who buy them on a whim with no knowledge of how to care for them x

Any chance of extending the "no inbreeding" rule to those who transgress?

dog licensing should return agree with micro chipping but not sure it would work esp with dog fighting etc the owners wont want to be traced

something has to be done though to help these poor dogs

We've rescued most of our cats, one from a guy attempting to drown her, one from a couple who were going to abandon her, and so on.

The sad thing is people don't care about pets the way they should. To us they're our family. They're our kids.

A certain personal ads site is one we hate. The amount of people who have dogs and cats for a month or two and then get bored of them and want rid is shocking.

I think the only possible thing to take from it all is that dogs have been bred for fighting for millennia. Thankfully now there is a spot light on what bit of it still goes on. It's definitely a problem but compared to Victorian times it's a lot better to be a dog today!

Probably because they have nothing to be afraid of...

The penalties some of these people get for severe abuse/neglect/cruelty, ect is laughable to say the least.

Exactly this!!

I watched a programme on stray dogs in Bucharest recently where they've humanely destroyed circa 60,000 under a scheme imposed after stray dogs killed a child in a park. There's a dog charity also working in the city that is neutering as many as they can and protesting against the government scheme. I feel for the dogs, I feel for the parents of the child killed - but the situation they have is difficult there.

We don't have the same stray problem here thank god but there's certainly too many irresponsible owners, abused dogs and as a result unwanted animals that can often not be rehomed.

It's a people problem. No dog is born dangerous.

The Gov is trying to pass a bill that will mean all cat breeders have to be registered, it's called The Cat Welfare bill. I'm really surprised there isn't a corresponding dog one, however if don't think it would make much difference. If someone is going to a use thier dog, they wouldn't bother with licensing or respecting a law not to breed from it.

No. But if by law dogs had to be microchipped a simple process of providing scanners to dog wardens, PCSO's and police would enable unlicensed, unregistered dogs to be identified and if necessary, removed, neutered and rehomed.

Can't see the point in worry about cats over dogs - I've never seen a story in the media of a child being savaged by a cat.

If not in some way worse. Animals don't have the opportunity to notify others of abuse - they rely on others spotting it and acting on concerns. They are reliant on people for food, care and their well being - much like children.

And before anyone points out that this can be true with people - I'm referring to the simple fact they can't speak, dial phone helpline numbers or use the internet!

The government should never have done away with the need for a dog license. They claimed at the time that it was unnecessary and didn't cover its owm admin costs - I recall thinking at the time that it was necessary and they should increase the fee... if nothing else, to discourage the proliferation of dangerous or abused unregistered dogs. I hold the same view now and would like to see a return of the licence - after all, anyone unwilling to fork out the relatively little amount (compared to the accumulated costs of a dog) to buy a license will probably be unwilling or unable to spend money on vets' bills.

Plus the fact that that sick mentality is still there. They do say that people who abuse animals often go on to abuse children/other people. x

That's kind of what they're getting at... We have better communication therefore we can open up and seek help. People who abuse animals do so knowing that they can't tell anyone.

I don't believe one is better or worse than the other. Being supposedly "superior" doesn't give us the right to cause unnecessary suffering to other living creatures.

And as for the food comment, I'm sure we'd still be food if the dinosaurs were still around.

Actually, scratch that, put a man in a cage with a tiger and we'll see what happens.

i have a greyhound that was going in the bucket, he has problems with his back legs so not upto racing standards so the breeder was just going to drown him, they actually saw this as normal and acceptable as they are not pets they are breed to race and make money so a greyhound that cant run is no use to anyone

i took him home, got him fixed up at the vets, had him 4 years this month and he's the best dog ive ever had, he can run and has no problems at all now, he just needed love and some money spent on him

In response to the original post I despise and deplore animal cruelty on any level. Some people are damaged and that leads them to be cruel to other creatures, but in my opinion all life is precious, human or not and should be treated as such. Violence in essentially any form upsets me massively.

Animals don't abuse each other for their own kicks or through any sense of 'superiority'.

Better communication skills? Debatable in some cases.

As for the 'animals are food' comment - go head to head with certain species and see who ends up as lunch!

Being 'top of the food chain' as you put it comes with responsibilities. Something many seem happy to shirk.

Far worse , especially with the increase in halal and kosher meat .

It's almost laughable to see the crusade of animal rights do gooders who happily sit down to a roast , eat burgers and sausages , and don't give a shit about the equally precious animals slaughtered for their meal !

Actually, there are far more regs that DEFRA impose on me, than are imposed on the breeders of dogs - all sheep, cattle and pigs must be electronically tagged, for example....

Its to do with traceability in the food chain.

I'm not going to wade into Halal and Kosher slaughter, except to say that approximatley 85% of Halal slaughter is pre-stun (ie, its no different to non-religious slaughter, save a prayer being said) wheras Kosher can never be pre-stun.
