I’ve got a German Shepherd, Zeus from 7wks old he’s now 5+ :-)
it was a GP suggestion. I got one,. Amazing
he’s fully trained to respond to sign signals.. he still has his dangly bits and very obedient for me :-)
Him waiting for me to finish the toilet business.
I believe the ownership of pets is ethically wrong. I think animals should be left to their own devices in the wild.
Leading theory from experts is that dogs (read wolves here) domesticated themselves. They exercised their free will in the wild and chose to cohabit with humans, all those many years ago. This is the only possible explanation for their unique behaviour to my mind, and I know my boy could not possibly be happier in any other existence.
Other animals who knows.
If I was the Prime Minister I would charge people like you with crime and have you paying hundreds of pounds in fines. Enjoy your decadence while it lasts.
Also, how will we now keep our energy bills down in this cruel new world of yours?
Also, if you want to engage on this point you will need to contend with facts. 59% of households in the UK have pets. [Source: Pet Population 2021 | PFMA]. This majority will clearly not vote in a party that has banning pet ownership as a manifesto item. That is also clearly an under-estimate of the share of the population that likes the concept of pets. So your policy is a pipedream.
Monster Raving Loony Party will never get elected.
Even if this bizarre and more cruel (for dogs) world did exist, as a law-abiding citizen I would not take another pet, so I would pay no fine. Laws cannot be retroactive so I would not pay a fine for my current pet.
