StolenHeart: I am with you on that. It's so sad to me. Where I live, people have been reported for cruelty to animals. Sometimes they take the dog away, sometimes it goes ignored. But the people keep getting more pets. It is disgusting and heartbreaking to see these skinny dogs wandering around. I never throw table scraps in the garbage, they go to these animals. It's better than nothing. And if one wanders around, since, I have dogs as well, I will set a bowl of food out. Another thing, is they obviously have little human contact, as they will tuck their tails and leave if I get too close. Thanx for a good reminder...

Test_Eagle: Don't be so irresponsible. Call the pound and have them put down. Stray dogs breed which means more stray dogs. More stray dogs mean they are trying to find food whereever they can which means attacking wildlife or domestic animals like sheep and cows when they run out. Stray dogs breeding produces offspring that aren't as tame and lead to dog attacks on humans. Stray dogs breed with dingos and produce a more dangerous offspring and polute the pure dingo blood line. Nobodies gonna pay for a stray dogs vet bills when they get sick and therefore they suffer more then they have to. Do the dogs and society a favour and call the pound and have them euthanised.

Test_Eagle: If you give them a home thats fair enough. People like you don't think of the consequences of letting stray dogs roam free. Wild dog packs here in Australia have been known to kill people's male dogs while accepting females into the pack. How would you like it if your dog was mauled to death by a pack of dogs all because some bleeding heart thinks they deserve to run free?

Dogs should have a home. And I support giving them a home. But I will not support letting strays roam free.

StolenHeart: hmmmm, no need for name calling. Basically u just called someone here an idiot. U prooved your point, and while what you say makes sense, and I am in agreement with you for the most part, why can't we leave the hostility behind.

Test_Eagle: If you read it properly I said "some idiot" and did not actually refer to them as an idiot. I amended my post anyway as not to offend, but let me clarify what I mean by idiot. A dog can be a potentially lethal animal with the ability to kill people and other animals, like a gun. Now if someone was to leave a gun lying around where someone could get their hands on it, I would call them an idiot. Now to me, if someone was to let a potentially dangerous dog run loose where it could hurt someone I would deem them an idiot as well. This is what I meant by the term idiot. And do not judge me as being hostile because I have opinions on this subject.

StolenHeart: I was not judging you as being hostile, just your words. Sometimes we communicate things that come off to others in ways other than they were intended. I apologize for my offense of you, though that certainly wasnt my intention. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Thank you for rectifying your original post.

Test_Eagle: I don't see why I am selfish because I have this opinion. I think you are selfish because you would rather leave stray dogs roam free to make yourself feel better about yourself. Read my reasons as to why I have my opinion. They are not selfish reasons. As I said I support giving them a home. Thats not selfish. I am a dog lover and a responsible dog owner. I am also a lover of native animals and would prefer them to remain unharmed from stray hungry dogs. Again, this is not a selfish reason. I live in a rural area where stray dogs attack livestock. It is not selfish of me to want livestock to remain unharmed instead of mauled to death by a pack of dogs. If you believe thats a selfish reason, then I think you need to take a good look at yourself.

Some more good reasons to call the pound.
1) If the dog has a microchip, the owner can be tracked. This might be a lost dog and therefore it can be returned to its owner. But, I suppose this is selfish to want the dog to be returned to its rightful owner instead of fending for itself on the street.
2) The pound might find a good home for it where they can get fed everyday instead of having to rely on people to feed it once in a while. But I suppose this is selfish to want to see the dog go to a loving home.
3) The dog can get a flea bath and a check up to make sure its healthy. But again, I suppose this is selfish because we all know its best to leave the dogs suffer if it has an illness or fleas and mange.
4) Again if it has a microchip if it was abandoned the owners can be tracked and prosecuted. As I said I am a responsible dog owner and am disgusted by people who dump their dogs.

So, I suggest you read my previous posts again and point out to me the selfish reasons behind them. As I said I support giving them a home, but if they don't have a home to go to you can't let them roam free relying on the occasional feed from people. Someone has to take care of them, that includes food, vet care and providing a home. The sad reality of life is that not every dog will have this provided for them.

Don't call me selfish because I work hard to provide a home and shelter for me and mine. My dogs are better taken care of then I am.

j322: I believe you have misunderstood my first blog it is not about promoting for dogs to roam the streets freely it was about feeding them if someone encounters a hungry dog. For whatever the reason they are homeless I will not call the pound because I AM A TRUE DOG LOVER NOT A CATTLE LOVER (THAT IS DINNER FOR ME). I will not do anything to hurt a dog the pound will just put them to sleep. You are selfish because you are just thinking about your cows not anything else. When these dogs die will become dust just they you will become dust when you die so do not think you are something special in this world. They deserve to eat the way you and your cows deserve to eat

Test_Eagle: Your reasons for me being selfish are poor at best. I not only think about livestock, I also think about people, native wildlife and other owned dogs. Livestock entails horses, sheep, chickens, cows and other animals. To want them not to be mauled by dogs is not selfish. To put homeless dogs over the safety and wellbeing of all of these is irresponsible. You're so narrow minded in your thinking that you are not considering the welfare of anything else but the stray dog. By the way I am not a cattle lover, but I do believe that they should live free from harm.

Some questions:

Have you ever seen a sheep mauled to death by dogs? Have you ever seen a horse run down until it breaks a leg and then its been mauled? Have you ever seen a child mauled by a dog?

Are you really so cruel to other animals that you don't care that dogs can do this?

Why do you think the pound puts dogs down and don't release them back on the streets?

How many of these dogs are you giving a home to? As a true dog lover as you claim and being so selfless, how many have you welcomed into your home?

I'd rather be called a selfish prick then be the one responsible for a child being bitten.

Test_Eagle: I do love dogs, but why can't someone love dogs and love other animals and give respect for their right to remained unharmed from dog attacks?

And did you realise that a stray dog will defend the area where it is fed, therefore making it dangerous to passersby?

I am disturbed by the fact that you will never call the pound. If the dog is injured do you just choose to ignore it? If the dog is savage do you just choose to let it wander?

Being responsible doesn't make you love dogs any less. I would really prefer if every dog had a loving home like my dogs do. But reality bites.
