This is a good read ! Please pass on this information to all the pet owners that you know of :-) :-) :-) We might help some doggie, tied somewhere, leading a life of confinement!
A dog treated with kindness and affection is more affectionate & gentle than one that is chained , brutalized or left alone all day. In fact, the practice of confining, chaining, or tying up a dog without social contact for long periods can create viciousness.
Dogs that are chained run a much higher risk of biting. Chaining a dog goes against its natural instincts. Dogs were not meant to be chained. The feel confined, trapped, and it drives them crazy.
The problem of aggressive dogs is often a problem of irresponsible dog ownership. Tethering a dog can have severely negative effects on the dogs psyche. Most dogs who spend a significant amount of time tethered are unstable and anxious animals. Chained by the neck, they exist without respect, love, exercise, social interaction, and sometimes even basic nourishment. They live as prisoners, yet long to be pets.
Would you for one second choose to live the life of these dogs? No matter what reason is given, the bottom line is that it is NOT ok to chain a dog for life. Dogs should not have to live chained or penned as prisoners, yearning for a place in a family, craving acknowledgement, respect, and love. They DESERVE BETTER, and we , as caretakers , have the obligation to provide it for them.
Chained dog is caught in a vicious cycle; frustrated by long periods of boredom and social isolation, he becomes a neurotic shell of his former self—further deterring human interaction and kindness. In the end, the helpless dog can only suffer the frustration of watching the world go by in isolation—a cruel fate for what is by nature a highly social animal. Any city, county, or state that bans this practice is a safer, more humane community.
Please consider today how you can help the dogs in your neighborhood. If you see a chained dog or a penned dog daily, it is time to take action.
