Ding Dong said:Look,seems obvious but dogs are ANIMALS.They are not meant to sleep on slumberland beds with continental quilts.Lie on axminster rugs in front of log effect gas fires.They are pack animals with an instinct to hunt.
There should only be working dogs,ie ,guide dogs,police dogs.sheep dogs and sniffer dogs and such like.
If my kids want to see ANIMALS I take them to the zoo.
Hmm... Seems a bit of a specious point this one; by that rationale we are all simians and ought not to be enjoying the luxuries you list. Quite aside from the devastating impact following your logic would have on the slumberland beds economy, I don't feel well equipped to live in a cave...
You also ignore those dogs that could work but choose not to; should they have their benefits withdrawn and any spare rooms in their council kennels rented out?
