Dogs in cages

long ago in a far off place called allenton, we had at the bottom of our garden chickens rabbits ferrets and ants too even worms the last 2 were to play with, the others were to eat, i can remember my dad showing us to skinthe rabbits and pluck them chickens it was the way of lift then for everyone, and maybe when we move to the phils time could be turned around to those days , eat what you grown

I am not against the fact that some people eat dog in the Philippines, or any other country come to that, but what I find upsetting is the way that they are treated whether it be a pet or a means of food.
I can't understand why they should have so called guard dogs caged up all the time and pay them no attention, these dogs are not even allowed out for one minute to run around. Let's face it if there were intruders, after climbing over broken glass topped walls, what good are the dogs going to be locked up in a cage? What I have also noticed is that if the dogs bark, which they do constantly, no one takes any notice anyway.

I totally agree.

It's one of those 'cultural' differences though, so sadly not much that can be done.
