Maybe they are (from owner's perspective), and maybe they're just status symbols.Neferti~ wrote:Sorry, Yogi, those dogs in your picture aren't "loved".
I only met the owner 3 times.
Must admit I envied his dog bath set up (in the garage/shed where dgs were caged).
Had constant flow from small pump and a heater element.
Been a fair bit in the local rag up here about the Greyhounds.
A mass grave with 50 Greyhound bodies was found near Coonar beach.
The owner and a woman implicated have been charged and faced a mention in court.
The owner was charged with Animal Cruelty because he'd shot each dog in the head with a .22.
Personally I don't like the fact he just disposed of his dogs when he didn't want them anymore, but I don't consider shooting in the head a cruelty. Shooting in the head is generally the legal, ethical and humane way to kill an animal. I think they should have used another charge (if available) because despite his deplrable motives, he could get off.
