I asked one single question: "How much money would it take for you to kill a puppy with your bare hands?" 29/30 respondents replied that I was a sick f***. I’m glad that people have some morals.
However, how many of you people actually go out and protest wars like the unjust wars in Africa that make kids kill each other? So many innocent people die daily from wars. But you spend your time and energy complaining about one single puppy. Isn’t that a little hypocritical that you can spend your energy on a puppy but not on the lives of millions?
Ethical values in the English-speaking world are screwed. We only care about stuff that is related to us and ignore issues that occur far away. We need to rethink our principles and morals to encompass all of life, not only that little puppy next door.
What makes that puppy so much more important than the child thousands of miles away? It’s just that the child would require more effort to save. We pick and choose.
I never ever condoned the murder of a puppy. I like animals a lot. I’m just saying some of our energy is very misplaced. The original question was a joke, and people were so enraged with it. I think we should spend some energy on more important issues.
which out of these two breeds would be best for someone with a dog allergy?
Many sites state that Basenji’s are fine for allergic people but then the kennle club (uk) site says that it’s not suitable for people with allergies
the portuguese water dog is good for people with allergies though and there is no site anywhere that says anything other than that it’s fine for people with allergies even though it does shed a bit like all animals with fur do.
so do Basenjis shed more than PWDs?

In the same night, I heard these two things on the news: That hundreds of animals were dying in shelters because of the recession and people needing to feed their families (therefore having to get rid of their beloved pets) and then Obama scoping out dog shows for a pedigree to put in the white house. Does anyone else think he’s being a dog-snob?
Oh wow, I didn’t know about the hypoallergenic thing. And I don’t have a problem with pure-bred dogs, I just think mutts are more fun.
