No Cut Ears

Normal

Basic common sense, the ears and tail of a dog are there for a reason.

Like: Dogs communicate with each other with their ears & tails. Dogs need their ears & tails. Do not hack off your puppy's body parts. How would you like it if you couldn't speak to other people?

Besides that, we people rely on being able to read a dog's body language.

I knew one person who liked bobbed tail dogs so she could see their "target" as she called it. It took me a moment to figure out what she meant. She made hand motions. I understood.

Not my thing. I like a dog to have a normal tail and for the dog to be able to cover up that part with his tail.

I knew a guy who raised dogs whose tails went over their backs. He asked me if I liked the way his dogs looked. I said: Yes, but I'd like them better if they carried their tails normally, so their @$$?0// wasn't so obvious.

He said that was his favorite part of the dog, he thought it was cute, and he liked to look at it.

Ever since then, I wonder about the people who post that they just can't stand the idea that cruelty laws might prevent them from lopping off their dogs tails.

What's so great about having a dog with no tail?

It's not because you like looking at the dog's uncovered @$$?)// is it?

Sometimes you just have to laugh at people.

Beautiful Horse

Guess what this beautiful breed of horse is bred for?

Answer is below.

Beefy Horse

What did you guess he was bred for? Does this full view show the breed off better?

I would have guessed him to be a heavy load draft horse.

Wikipedia says the breed was a 1200 pound (good size for an adult human to ride) military horse, but is now bred as a 2,000 pound meat animal. They eat horses in Europe.

See the steer's head along the left edge of the photo? Is that how Hindus view us eating cattle? Like I feel about breeding these horses for food?

Is this nice?

Look at the calf. The fluid shooting out of his little nose. What is happening to his back? In a few frames he will be yanked off his feet. Is this nice?

Rodeos aren't about skills real cowboys use. No sane rancher would ruin the health of his calves by roping them like this, at high speed. (If at all.)

There are other issues about animals. One of those issues is about dog breeding, and breeding dogs to be used in competitions.

On the surface it might not seem as bad as calf roping. But multiplied across the county by so many people, the problems multiply too.

If nobody speaks up about the problems, or if nobody listens, then the problems will just get worse, and all the improvements that could have been made, will never happen.

steer roping

What is the difference between a staged bullfighting event and a rodeo?

In a bullfight event, the bull is stabbed to death, but in a rodeo, the animals are not killed, but they are often re-used, again and again.

When traumatic things happen to you over & over, you live in a constant state of a form of shock.

Which is worst, killing the bull the first time he enters the ring, or re-using him over & over, and then killing him?

I understand that some people are the sort who like to watch suffering - like the sort who go to dog fights. And some people like to watch people hurting animals - there are evil people in this world.

But why would people take their children to watch this sort of suffering?
