UNCHAIN YOUR DOG

[rahya2008]

I can hardly watch this. I remember seeing alot of pits that were chained that drowned from hurricane Katrina. They were all chained and padlocked!!! Christ! Poor dogs...I can just imagine how scared.. fleeing for their lives from an 18 feet of water coming towards them....I wanna kill those owners who left them to die!

We can't think of a crueler punishment for these social pack animals who want—and deserve—companionship, scratches behind the ears, walks around the block, and the opportunity to curl up at their guardians' feet at night indoors.

Cranberries are very good for health, full of vitamines C. However this is irrelevant to dogs who do NOT eat fruits...

[0MadWoman0]

Well I chain up my dog every night, especially when we company over. If you don't like that then call PETA on me.

[CincereOne]

A kennel is basically a jail cell! Is it not? If a dog is chained up properly he can run and jump and has about 200x more space to play than being locked up in a kennel. Kennels breed lazyness and insanity from boredom. Playing some sappy music and showing some underfed dogs, is just a bullshit way of steering people emotionally. Chains SEEM bad, but in actuallity allow the dog MORE FREEDOM than a kennel! THIS IS FACT!

[ObscurelyNyappy]

I agree. Chaining your dog is fine IF done properly like anything else has to do done properly.

[MrDeadkiD1]

...O my god..how can people do that...What kind of bastards they are..

[kingmaxim187]

chain the people who chain their dog

[romeosamson]

how cruel are people.....HORRIBLE TO WATCH

[DRYKJ17]

oh and i lifted her chain, and it is HEAVY. And i dont know the last time she was brushed, or her collar washed. jess has i think THREE kids. 31 looks like her, without the chain,

[DRYKJ17]

I know a PUP thats like 3 that LIVES on a chain. BTW, Jesse's husband is allergic to dogs! And they never bring it in, only for like blizzard, and thunder, an lock her in a kennel she can hardly move. I feed her, I care for her, when i go there. BUT, there is a momma and like seven BABY kitties LIVING Outside too, they proabaly all died. we haven;t seen em. AND THREE OF THEM WERE NEWBORNS.

[AspinTheFerret]

Some of you people need to do your homework ;D First off, if you do get your dog a proper chain, then that is okay, but you must ACTUALLY pay attention to them, which is what most ignorant people DONT do. Oh, sbates5 just to let you know, you little ignorant twit; these ARENT about animal abuse. if you look closely, what is that AROUND THE DOGS NECK? Is that a chain? Yes it is moron. Think before you speak, because it makes you seem so stupid.

[sbates5]

These pics of poor dogs have nothing to do with chains or cables. They are the result of neglectful assholes. Cable or chain runs are sometimes better than kennels as long as the owner actually pays attention to the dog.

[rockinfortheplanet]

Thank you for speaking up for chained dogs, excellent work for the voiceless, 5 stars!!

[apbtgame20]

Dog which is "crated": 4 to 6 square feet

Dog which is kenneled in the average 6x12 foot kennel: 72 square feet

Dog which is tethered on a 15 foot tether: 700+ square feet

Dog which is tethered on a 20 foot tether: 1256 square feet

Which do you think a dog would consider "cruel"?

[b18onboost]

Dogs are pack animals. In the wild, canines live, eat, and sleep with their family. In the absence of dogs, humans become their "pack." A chained dog feels rejected and doesn't understand why.

[apbtgame20]

A proper chain setup for a dog is a great way to keep your dog sucure! Do some research before you speak on the subject. These dogs were done for with or without the chains.

[DragonSlayersGod]

It herts to watch

[pmarie2003]

Sick. As I write this my dogs are asleep on my bed, including my Pit Bull who has never had one of those huge chains on him in his life.

[chellyhunter]

why buy a dog then use it as a garden ornament? i dont even tie my dog outside the shop dogs were made to free run not be prisoners i hope the people who do this to their dogs recieve their justice

[kiny1402]

the fuckin owners need chaining up

[pitbull19977]

HEARTBREAKING

[Bichick25698]

Any fucking bastard that is stupid enough to chain a dog up should die!!!!!

[apbtgame20]

My dog has been on a chain setup for almost 5 years and is the best dog ever. I took it to the groomer the other day and they said "wow this is the best actin pit bull ever"

[DELORDTAMPS]

i´m so sad :(, this is just SO FUCKED UP!!

[dsl1970]

Im on the front line agaist this type of abuse. Im a Animal Contro Officer, and chaining up your dog is outlawed in my county in noth GA. I wish it was outlawed across the United States and world wide.

[muabylil]

I feel sick to my stomach and the tears are swelling up in my eyes. I agree with a lot of the people who have responded. Give me 5 minutes with the scum who does this to these wonderful creatures I belong to many animal rights organizations and will continue to give my money and time to put an end once and for all to this torture!! GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEADS PEOPLE WHO ABUSE ANIMALS, WHAT TYPE OF "HUMAN BEINGS" ARE YOU? EDUCATE YOURSELVES!!!!!! INGNORANCE is NOT an EXCUSE!!

[267652633]

yes, these owners of these dogs need to be tied out on a chain and starved like these poor innocent animals, my bostons are horribly stinkeys, but they sleep in bed with me,

[watalooker]

OMG if i could get my hands on even a**hole that did that 2them dogs id kill them thats so unfair i love dogs this video made me so upset

[damanwidtheplan]

killing a human for killing a dog...doesnt seem right in my mind. jail maybe but not death. u shud die for all the flys you killed :(, you see what im trying to get across here

[watalooker]

i dnt care about flys there ugly an land on shit then fly on us dogs r everyhting to me an no dog should b treated like that jail isnt enough coz they wont get long for hurtin a dog every dog ive had ppl have stole from out back yard an baited them an killed them i hate people that miss treat dogs an any other animal

[kjhardman]

Oh my gosh ! I got teary eyed when I saw this video. I work in the animal control field and iin the local animal shelter. My coworker and I are so glad we don't see more of this in our line of work.

[USA12316]

this is sick people should not do this its not fair!!!!!!!

[passionatecutie]

I have question? What type of people get dogs and treat them like this? I don't think I've ever met such a mean person in my lifetime....as I really don't think they are human!!

[LuLu8769]

Karma.... I have seen some pretty sick shit embedded collars, beatings, etc. These individuals will get their come-uppings whether it be this life or whether God deals with them. I wish it was legal to do to them what they do to animals.

[passionatecutie]

Yes...I believe in Karma....I believe people attract either good or bad...and this is bad, so bad will come to them....If the animals could talk...We'd all cry as we listen to their abusive stories....My heart aches..

[elperropatron]

people who do this shit to their dogs should be beaten to death with their own severed limbs. If you can't provide your dog with a proper environment to thrive or can't afford daycare, then just don't get one, selfish assholes.

[DoggerInc]

Dogs are NOT "tortured to turn into killing machines (dog fighting). I understand that you really have no clue past what you read or watch on Animal Planet. Dogs being kept in a kennel is NO different than being on a PROPER chain set. Just because you do not believe in something does NOT mean it should be banned. Eventually something YOU DO will be critized and banned. I agree 100% that IMPROPER chaining needs to be stopped. Chaining in itself is NOT abuse nor neglect though.

[lateseptemberdogs]

I agree with you. I never said chaining is bad, I keep my dog on a chain so he doesn't jup the fence. UT- leaving a dog on a chain all day or longer, neglecting and such horrifying conditions, THAT is wrong. THAT is what this video is about.

[ObscurelyNyappy]

@DoggerInc THIS

[monicamom]

...and chaining a dog for life, or extended periods of time, is abuse, which is why states and cities are starting to pass laws against the antiquated practice eg, california, which now limits chaining to 3 hours per day.

[monicamom]

I don't dispute that dogs were bred for "purposes," but that's completely beside the point. Because an animal has a purpose, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be treated with kindness. Torturing a dog to turn it into a killing machine (dog fighting) is completely different from using a dog for, say, herding and treating it kindly, giving it a warm bed, exercise, attention. Personally, I don't object completely to killing animals. Heck, I eat some meat. I object to torturing them.

[DoggerInc]

"Guardianship laws" are the worst thing that could ever happen to owning an animal. Guardianship laws will make BSL easier. Easier for you to lose your animals. Anyone who has half a brain is thankful animals are considered property. Yes all dogs were created for a specific purpose, read any breed history. Dogs die while herding and hunting too, so why are those activities any different than fighting? (other than legally)

[monicamom]

Antiquated legal view of dogs as mere "property" will change -- has started to already. Dogs are sentient beings, not furniture or a car. They feel pain, get bored, anxious, scared. They understand as much basic language as a toddler. "Created for a purpose?" Not sure if you mean man or God, but either way, they were not created for us to abuse. Herding/hunting, fine. But chaining an intelligent, social animal by its neck for its life is flat-out cruel. What's the "purpose" for your dogs?

[DoggerInc]

Chaining when done properly is a very effective means to confine a dog. When you own more than one animal aggressive dog they need to be confined. Chaining is more cost effective, and gives the dog more room. As long as the dog has daily human contact, and time off their chain, there is nothing wrong (legally or ethically) with that means of confinement.

[DoggerInc]

Dogs are property, NOT part of the family. Dogs were created for specific purposes, be it fighting, hunting, herding, etc. Just because people do not keep their dogs in the house does NOT make them wrong. Majority of working dogs are much better cared for than your average pet.

[elperropatron]

Dogs are also bred as companions, which is the most common "job" that dogs have in our society now. They have been bred to maximize the kinds of traits that make them pleasing to be around, like loyalty, playfulness, empathy, etc. They have the most human-like emotional response of any animal on the planet because that's the way we have made them. And it is our responsibility to treat them accordingly.

[DoggerInc]

A "companion" is NOT a job. Dogs are "companions" because majority of people are LAZY, and would rather sit infront of a TV

with the working breed they bought because it was cute then get out and actually participate in what the breed was INTENDED for. Dogs do not have "human like emotional responses" PEOPLE think they do because it makes them feel loved/needed/wanted. EVERY response from dogs is nothing more then self preservation.

[elperropatron]

Ovbiously, a dog is a far better companion and better company than the kinds of assholes that fight dogs, abuse them etc. I agree that there are too many people who don't exercize their dogs enough. If they work all day and can't exercize their dogs, they should bring them to daycare.

[elperropatron]

If you don't see that dogs have actual emotional responses, that is your limitation and I feel sorry for you and your dogs.

[LuLu8769]

Domesticated dogs DO have human like emotional responses. I have owned dogs all my life (many different breeds) and it is their soul that gives them these responses. Please do not come back and say that animals do not have souls, because every living thing that takes a breath has a soul.

[DoggerInc]

The chain is NOT the issue, NEGLECT is. A dog on a 10' chain has more than double the space of a 10'x10' kennel. As long as the dog gets daily contact and exercise, the method of confining the dog is NOT the issue.

[monicamom]

Neither a chain NOR a kennel is an appropriate way to "confine" a dog.

[DoggerInc]

That is your opinion, which is fine. My opinion which is shared by many. When you have a large number of dogs, chaining is a very good method of confinement. Many breeds can NOT be near other animals. Not everyone has dogs as "Pets", many of us have dogs for a specific purpose.

[monicamom]

A "specific purpose"? Breeding? Fighting? You don't get points for a "purpose." You seek to profit in some way off of dogs' lives, but you are causing immense suffering: could you even begin to imagine a life like that? There are few legitimate reasons to keep a dog if you can't treat it humanely. Chaining a dog by its neck 24/7, even if you pet it once a day and feed it regularly, is not humane.
