Confession Of The Day

.

I stole this from another thread. 

Is there anything you feel rather ashamed of having done or not done etc?

Mine is:

I have started but not finished The Remains of the Day, Never Let Me Go and Klara and the Sun (Kazuo Ishiguro books).

and many other 'worthy' novels. 

Anguished

I do have greater sins I might share at a later date.

    Pugs, like most domestic dogs have evolved to look and sound as they do today because humans bred them like that. They can’t help snuffling because their airways are constricted and they can’t breathe properly. The humans who bred them are either ignorant of the suffering they cause or they don’t care. 

    Perhaps the owner should have kept the dog under control so that it couldn’t make untoward advances, but kicking and harming a defenceless, innocent animal was wrong. The RSPCA states, “Animal cruelty is where a person is deliberately causing an animal to suffer, for example by physically harming them”.

    I was upset when I first read your post.

    I'm not a fan of pugs, French Bulldogs and other yappy little dogs, but I wouldn't kick one unless it went for me of Fearn. Those squashed faced dogs often freak out other dogs because to another dog the heavy breathing and wheezing sounds aggressive

    I don’t think it’s likely that the Kennel Club will be disbanded as there name has recently been prefixed with ‘Royal’.

    I do agree that it isn’t fit in its present state and that something drastic needs to be done. In addition to the issues mentioned, the show dogs don’t have a great life spending long hours travelling the world and being confined to crates or show benches for much of the time.
