In , says... We don't allow our housepets outside. The only time they go outdoors is on an annual or other trip to the veterinarian. Why are you denying your animals the ability to experience nature. Or, have they told you they like sitting at the window watching the world go by just like prisoners do? Our pets live long, happy, healthy lives, without concern over their next meal, or where to stay warm and dry, and safe from being hit by cars on nearby roads or shot by morons with guns. The roads down here are littered with the carcasses of deer, raccoons, dogs, foxes, cats, et cetera. Our pet Maine coon cat, for example, a kitty we rescued from the outdoors, decided in one day he never wanted to go outdoors again. If he is near a door that leads to the outside and it is opened, he runs in the other direction. This is a tough cat, by the way, who is very strong with great teeth and claws. Though he is just a cat, he knows he's got it made with us, and has no need for a short, dangerous life outside. One of our neighbors down the street had a pretty Springer spaniel they allowed out in their fenced yard. The dog dug his way out, to "experience nature," as you termed it, and was found dead by the side of a nearby road two days later. What he experienced was getting hit by a car or truck. No thanks. |
