Everyone is entitled to their opinions, I'm sure this is something that has been said many a time in order to back out of a thread and I admit this is what I am doing now. I do not wish to make an enemy of anyone but I wished to show support for someone who asked an interesting question and in the end was backed in to a corner with no way out by a group who felt differently from their opinion.
You are entitled to show support for others , as others are entitled to voice distain.

I thank you in advance, and if on the off chance you should disagree with my opinion, I won't be offended if you back me into a corner.
I, m a big girl and don't get upset if many disagree with me

I personally have no problem with dogs being kept outside (chained or kennelled) just so long as the dogs needs are met appropriately. I think some people do get carried away with seeing dogs as small, furry, children. They're not, they're dogs.

Spurious red herrings don`t change the fact that chaining up for years a horse, dog, cat, child, pig or any other living creature is wrong.
You seriously can`t see that?

One can always not post if one does not want opinions that don't suit.
and after all a chain is used to tether a dog so whats the difference ?

The OP has said that the dog isnt chained up 24/7 only at times when the owner is occupied! What is the problem?

I wouldn't keep a dog tied up bit if it's cared for in every other way (the same if it was in a kennel and run) I see no problem with it.
Majority of picture threads go un-noticed, and I posted another thread in the nutrition section which has had 2 replies..
