If a dog is aggressive the owners have failed. I say they should set up a shelter for aggressive and unmanageable dogs where they try to rehabilitate the dogs. The former owners will have to pay for it all as their punishment and, if the dog cannot be rehabilitated, for life.i know, but if an animal is aggressive, there isnt much alternative.. Shelters for animals will not adopt out an aggressive dog, and noone wants an aggressive dog. there are some areas in the states that dont allow pit bulls or rottweilers in some citys because some people dont feel the need to train them, and they gert out of control and aggressive. if a person feels the need for a dog, obedience is a must.
if the pet has killed another pet.. it needs to be put down.. its not in the wild. it gets food daily.. it should have no need for it.
When we first moved in, the dog would snap at my daughter(she was 1 when we moved into this house) growl at her, and would do the same to me if i went to get her away from the fence... She is better at that now, but it still shouldnt happen...
If you don't have money to take care of a dog properly, don't get a dog.Also, the same neighbors dont even have the money to take the animals to the Vet to get any of them fixed. Last time the dogs went to the vet, they found out the female has heart worms, and they are doing nothing about it.. so now, I wont allow my daughter in the back yard (the heart worm parasite is extremely dangerous to children)
Also, I cannot believe that they can't pay up for the dogs treatment. Seems to me that they just don't want to because they will have to give up something that they like (more than their dog) in order to be able to pay. Do they smoke, drink, drive a car, etc?
