I'll show initiative and start posting some of my opinionated articles. I hope you enjoy them.
I'm calling for more people to take responsibility for their dogs. My small Jack Russell Terrier was the victim of a loose dog attack. My dog doesn't weigh much, maybe ten pounds. A loose dog in the neighborhood came into my yard and attacked my little dog while he was going potty.
This outraged me and I was very upset to see the big dog take down my smaller breed. The dog in question was a cross between a Lab and a Pit Bull. People cannot let their dogs run loose. There are laws against this and it's a question of moral responsibility. I realize that some people just don't give a hoot about their animals and they don't care about other people. However, it's unacceptable to have a dog from your house running free so it can hurt another animal or person.
My Jack Russell turned out to be okay. He was hurt, but he has now healed. It doesn't take away from the pain he suffered at the time. It's not funny or cool to allow an animal, such as a dog, to be unfenced or to be unchained at your residence. It's unethical and it causes problems all around. It falls under common courtesy. We all need to remind ourselves we live in a society where we have to respect all people and obey the township's laws we reside in. There is never an excuse to leave your dog or any other animal unattended. I can understand how cats may be able to run freely, they don't pose an immediate threat or danger.
If you have a dog, goat, or whatever, take responsibility for your animal. You could get sued, fined, or anything else. It causes grief and grief is never a good thing. I wished people cared for their animals more in a society where it seems that anything goes now a days. If you keep your dogs secure then I applaud you. This articles is more for those who don't seem to care.
God Bless,
