A Horrible Photo of Animal Cruelty

Well, I decided against actually posting the picture here, but if you want to see the other extreme of dog treatment, click on the link. You can figure out where these dogs are headed. Be prepared, the photo will (and should) break your heart. While there is a tremendous amount of affection giving to special small dogs, other kinds of dogs aren't so lucky. I thought it appropriate to show both sides.

While not as cruel as the treatment in the photo, of course, another thing I can't stand is the way some people (and this is true anywhere in the world) tie their dogs to a pole or put them in small cages and leave them there all day and night. You see this often in Seoul and elsewhere in front of or behind restaurants and shops especially. The owners tend to work all day everyday and their poor pets have to wait, bored out of their minds, whimpering, unable to sleep because of the noises and distractions of the hustle and bustle of city life.

Stay tuned for more upbeat posts.
