Atanquin Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I found it powerful reading that it is simple and I think it really gets the point across Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeckoTree Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Nice pic, I don't buy into the cropping debate, I have read many pros for it other than for aesthetic human vanity though. many negs for it too. Aus is a mute point I wont begrudge the cropped Amstaffs that are imported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxiewolf Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Can we share this on FB? I think what they mean by 'cut their ears off' is meaning not a professional crop but more a hack off at the scull with scissors job... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion 01 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Simple but so very true, from a dog's point of view. Yes humans have got sooooooo much to answer for. Would be good as a car sticker, that way it would get seen by many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrinaJ Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 I think they refer to hacked off ears, not ear cropping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsdog2 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I think they refer to hacked off ears, not ear cropping Have posted on FB and yes, I agree - I don't think it's referring to cropping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 All very true sadly and very emotive but I don't think it makes a convincing argument against banning certain breeds unfortunately. There would be many who would respond with well if the dogs aren't there the humans can't do those things then the dogs can't hurt people. I don't think it makes the point that responsible ownership, training and management of any dog is what prevents attacks, not banning particular breeds.

rep628 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Nice pic, I don't buy into the cropping debate, I have read many pros for it other than for aesthetic human vanity though. many negs for it too. Aus is a mute point I wont begrudge the cropped Amstaffs that are imported. Thanks GT! You're welcome to come nuzzle my boys ears any time. The actually feel rather neat. I mean, nothing quite like the velvety-ness of full, proper bully breed ears, but unique all the same. Great little message as well in original post. Kudos to whomever made it.

Simply Grand Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Thought I should offer something more constructive... not that I'm any sort of expert. I would have thought that a campaign featuring a whole range of breeds and sizes of dogs, ideally dogs that have actually been declared dangerous or nuisance dogs across the country, with statements such as: - humans brought me home without considering whether I was a good fit for their environment - humans didn't make the effort to socialise me properly - humans didn't train me to understand that they are pack leader - humans didn't teach me my job properly - humans didn't keep me in a safe backyard - humans didn't keep on leash in public - humans didn't make me feel like they would keep me safe so I didn't have to hurt others etc etc etc would be more effective in showing that it is infact humans who have a huge influence on how dogs behave. Those of us here know that the above are more like the factors that influence attacks than breed but joe public doesn't necessarily. And quite frankly the same poster as in the OP featuring a Pomeranian or Labrador or Poodle or Corgi (or xxx other breed) would not be relevant, as they are not bred to fight nor are their ears cropped etc etc. The statements in the poster are sad and true but not the point, they are not what makes a dog and particularly a breed safe or not safe. The other actions of humans are what do (IMHO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus is a mute point I wont begrudge the cropped Amstaffs that are imported. They cut off the ears at the head on pit fighting dogs so that the other dog can't get latched onto it and rip it off during a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weasels Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) I meant dogs that fight in pits, not dogs that are pits Edited September 15, 2011 by Weasels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
