Repost @projectunderdogrescue ・・・
We feel we have a responsibility to address recent events that have left us emotionally fatigued.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Two weeks ago, news broke of a dog attacking and killing a man in Mill Park. First and foremost we extend our deepest sympathies to the family devastated by this tragedy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our frustration centres not on the event itself, but more the discussion and reaction it has sparked.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This isolated incident has created a reactionary and emotional discussion around Breed Specific Legislation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mainstream media focused on the dog’s breed, instead of talking about factors that can lead to aggressive behaviour or about responsible pet ownership.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since this news we have received 38 separate surrender enquiries. All of which have been for staffy or bull breed dogs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Any dog, of any size, breed or mix of breeds has the potential to cause harm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, genetic predispositions are a factor in animal behaviour, however the impact of the environment and learnings are just as, if not more, critical.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What does reduce incidents of dog bites?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
EDUCATION.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Educating people that their dog is growling not because they‘re naughty, or ‘dominant’, but because they’re frightened.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that instead of punishing them for growling, we should find out what they are trying to tell us and help them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dogs are always talking to us through body language and with some education, you too can listen to what your dog is saying.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We need to educate our children about how to tell when a pet is uncomfortable and to respect their boundaries.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We need to teach consent. Yes, consent from our pets.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As the ‘more intelligent species’, we need to be more self-aware of how WE act towards, and force interactions between, pets.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pets are not disposable objects you can just get rid of when they no longer suit you. They are for life and they feel emotion and heartbreak just like we do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you agree then please stand with us. Post a photo of your pet (whatever species or breed they may be) with the hashtag #educatedontdiscriminate
This is why my name is Nala! Do you see the resemblance? My pawrents are very excited to see the new lion king!

[Werbung/ Advertisement] Wishing you a beautiful Sunday! What’s your plans for today? Well we don’t have huge plans for today except Stranger Things and chill. The past few weeks have been super exhausting and we really enjoy lying on the couch and chilling for a few hours.

Wir wünschen euch einen tollen Sonntag! Was habt ihr heute geplant? Wir haben für heute keine großen Pläne, außer Stranger Things. Die letzten paar Wochen waren wirklich anstrengend und jetzt genießen wir es einfach mal ein paar Stunden auf dem Sofa zu liegen und nichts zu tun.

[Werbung/ Advertisement] Born to love not to fight. Still Nala is fighting everyday.. Fighting for a spot on my pillow, fighting for food by staring at me and fighting for attention. But most important Nala is fighting breed specific legislation for an equal treatment of all dog breeds. What are your dogs fighting for everyday?
_
Geboren um zu lieben, nicht um zu kämpfen. Und trotzdem kämpft Nala täglich.. Um den Platz auf meinem Kopfkissen, um Essen, indem sie mich anstarrt und um Aufmerksamkeit. Aber hauptsächlich kämpft Nala gegen rassebedingte Auflagen und für die Gleichberechtigung aller Hunderassen. Wofür Kämpfen eure Hunde täglich?

Taking an opossum and a fawn for a walk seemed like a better idea than it was. Seymour seems to be in rut and spent the whole time chasing me around clicking and little Zoom the fawn wanted another bottle Cheddar refused to go out for a walk and instead requested belly rubs and a small snack of almonds.
