[b]Collared Pets: Aren't we cruel ? [/b] In the age where pet shows are common, one question strikes my mind. Does a dog love to show off his collar ?
A no for this question is not so surprising. If so why do we collar them?
Is it a statement of her ownership, and she wants people to know that he is owned ? Pet owners may diplomatically say no. But you can't blame anyone if they misunderstood the collar as a symbol of her authority over him.
Counter argument, which almost all pet owners back, may be that the pets will run away So what...? It's his freedom , it's his life. You can't just own him for the biscuits that you feed him or the so called affectionate hugs you give him. The pet is expected to lick her feet and live as her slave. That's disgusting. Let them live freely. Instead show your affection to those humans who don't need a collar but instead needs you, needs your affection, your love and support,

Putting a collar is not bad per se, it is helpful to tag the dogs. Chaining them is another thing, that seems wrong. Humans domesticated some animals for centuries and with the way we colonized the entire planet, where will they really be free from us?
I am not sure if this post is about adoption and that is something worthwhile for everyone to think about.
