This story has literally upset me so much. What a repulsive ****. They can be such harmless creatures. I want to give my Alfie a big hug.

I felt the same as to the story and,thinking of my dog.
It brings it home to you that there are some intolerant and crazy nutters out there and you need to keep your dog/s safe.

Some of the points that TS makes are valid, although, I personally may have expressed them differently.

I remember during the first gulf war, there were many human casualties, and the world was knitting woolly jumpers to protect the birds from oil spills. Sometimes perspective is skewed

..it's sad that this thread got so off topic..not with the hypotheticals/analogies etc that may or may not have been relevant to this particular story...but more personal judgements of members...rather than think it a positive that some members who don't usually 'venture' into Serious Debates so much would feel passionate enough about something to want to, that something engages them in this section..?...and maybe holding on to that passion to see if they can be engaged more..they're being judged for not engaging in other things and other topics ...I mean really, that's such a negative view...also TS it's a 'dumbing down'..it's deciding and judging for them 'what is more important'..it's not encouraging young people to express themselves at all...and I don't think it's so much about not caring about things but just one possible indication why there is less venturing out of chat and games because so often members are judged for their opinions, rather than a countering of views when that opinion is not agreed with and an acceptance that we all don't have the same perspectives in our lives and trying to understand each others perspectives...is that not a large part of debate...

..that's not a fact Arista...some dogs do bark a lot/as puppies and yeah the thing is discipline or 'puppy classes' to discourage that..but at the time that she was got as a puppy and their daughter was alive but severely disabled..as much as that should maybe have happened..?..that probably wasn't their priority or just something that they may have thought she would grow out of...but that doesn't mean that they are not dog lovers...and then when these things are not instilled with dogs from the off, it becomes much harder to change behaviour patterns, much the same as in humans...
