ONe is a beautiful pitt, she is so sweet, i play with her and the rottie they are both very sweet dogs and I take them treats..they get good dog food and always have water n have dog houses, with pads in them, but they are chained..its so sad..Originally Posted by buttercup132
If talking to them would have helped the other 2 would not have died with chains on their neck..no one else in our famlily will have an animal they have to chain up..they have 2 cats that have the run of the house and are allowed in and out..my sister in law tried to walk the pitt, and she was to strong for her..and she is bigger than me.I just hate to see them there day after day year after year..its the saddest thing and yes you can see it in their eyes they want love and attention.. and they lots of room for a pen for them..but now they chain them...![]()
Some reasons why permanent tethering is cruel are as follows:
1) A dog who is permanently tethered is forced to urinate and defecate where he sleeps, which conflicts with his natural instinct to eliminate away from his living area.
2) Because the chained dog is always close to his own fecal material, he can easily catch deadly parasitical diseases by stepping in or sniffing his own waste. The ground within the dog's chained area may have a high concentration of parasite larvae.
3) Even if the fecal matter is picked up, the area where the dog can move about becomes hard-packed dirt that carries the stench of animal waste. The odor and the waste attract flies which bite the dog's ears, often causing serious bloody wounds and permanent tissue damage.
4) Continuous chaining psychologically damages dogs and makes many of them aggressive animals.
5) Dogs who forced to live on a chain are easy targets for stinging bites from insects and attacks by other other animals.
6) The tethers can become entangled with other objects, which can choke or strangle a dog to death.
7) The neck of a chained dog often becomes raw and covered with sores in part due to the dog's constant yanking and straining to escape confinement![]()
