Stop The Violence
September 20th, 2008
Dogs are being tortured for sport in this country - with the approval and encouragement of the mainstream media. Observe, as proof, this depraved article in The Daily Courier of Arizona yesterday.
Apparently it’s not enough that we should have the abhorrent atrocity of soap-contaminated bathing forced upon us - we should also, according to the article, be “treated like small children” in the process. Here’s what’s wrong with that. Kids love baths.
While dogs love their rubber duckies and are prepared to swallow them whole to defend them, we don’t use them as ceremonial artifacts to celebrate the ritual scouring away of our God-given stenches like kids do.
For children, bathtime is a joyous affair filled with laughing, splashing and the jocular blowing of underwater bubbles. It’s about scraping their soap-filled hair up into mohicans and dunking their dollies. It’s about clockwork frogs and squeezy elephants that squirt water through their trunks.
For dogs, bathtime means a terrifying journey through the Canine Circles of Hell - the swamp-like water of the river Styx, the boiling soapy hell of Phlegethon, the tearing claws of Harpies. When was the last time you saw a dog willingly lower her puppies into a tub of warm suds? It’s unthinkable.
There is only one, I repeat ONE circumstance in which I will willingly immerse myself in water and that is to retrieve an attractive looking stick.
We are NOT children, we do NOT enjoy bathtime, soap does NOTHING to increase our quality of life and it’s about time this soaking, sodden, soggy suffering was put an end to. I wouldn’t mind so much if cats were getting baths too but they’re NOT.
