@soheiljerusalem You've been commenting on every video claiming animal cruelty. No animals have shown distress or depression. They are lively and happy. Cant YOU realize that most of these videos aren't promoting any form of animal cruelty or abuse? Stop.

And one thing's for sure, when a dog or a cat is uncomfortable, they make certain to let you know. What puzzles me is, none of these dogs are acting stressed out or scared. So I have no clue why they're all, "THESE DOGS DONT WANT TO BE HERE" and all. XD

@hitheresunshine I know, it doesn't make sense! :P They are animals... not humans. They can take care of themselves

Similarly, if "any kind of action which bothers animals and forces them to do something they actually dislike" is animal cruelty, why does that not apply to humans as well? Why are children FORCED to take tests, to go through school, why are humans FORCED to do things that THEY don't want to do? Or is the freedom you preach simply for animals, and not humans as well?

Your circular logic is kind of sad. =/

@TaraKathleenn

They just think they know what's right for animals, but they can't even tell what makes animals HAPPY. XD

@soheiljerusalem

So taking dogs to the vet to be vaccinated against diseases that could kill them is cruelty? Rabies vaccinations are cruelty? A lot of them certainly don't enjoy getting their shots, so according to your logic, that's animal cruelty.

Second off, how the hell do these dogs look like they're not enjoying this? Explain that to me.

And tell me, where does YOUR definition of cruelty come from? PETA?

The LEGAL definition differs by country, state, and locality, you know.

@hitheresunshine

I am damn serious. If you think only violent acts against animals is considered as animal cruelty you're basically wrong. ANY kind of action which bothers animals and forces them to do something they actually dislike IS animal cruelty. These animals is this so called festival are NOT enjoying all this stupidity. People had OPTED to be there, animals had not!

@soheiljerusalem

I really hope you're not serious. If you are, you really don't know the true meaning of the word animal abuse.

Dog fighting is animal abuse. Animal hoarding is animal abuse. Violent acts against animals are animal abuse. (I could go on.)

But celebrating dogs as beloved pets--no, as FAMILY members, is NOT animal abuse.

All of those dogs look like they're suffering. They seem to enjoy it.

If you're serious, you really don't know a thing about animal abuse.
