  • Hahah no biggie! I think me using the royal "you" may have felt more personal than it should have been and came off as a PM in the interface

    Thanks for posting! Don't worry about it, netizens love to argue, and I'm guilty of starting a few flame wars myself 😅

  • I don't think they're necessarily "extremists". Different cultures, different countries, different legislations, and different dogs create varied opinions on the topic of collars and harnesses.

    Here in Montreal, IIRC dogs above 40 lbs must be in a harness and wear a collar at all times when out in public, and must be held on a leash no longer than 6ft outside of designated area. They must wear their license, be microchipped and be neutered unless you get a special permission.

    Having a border collie, if I left his harness on at all times, his fur would get matted and he would get infections as he loves to get wet in summer, so I take it off when indoors. He's also not a flight risk, but I still leave his collar on most of the time because he spends a lot of time free in the backyard.

    Another dog may have short hair so matting may not be an issue, or could be a flight risk, yet another dog may live in the countryside and have nowhere to go but home. Some countries have easy access to microchip scanning at a vet, some countries require you to go to their SPCA equivalent to get the microchip scanned, and some countries don't even require microchipping.

    TL;DR opinions vary based on experience and situations, and no one is right or wrong. See my pinned post, but I encourage conversation.

  • I received a few reports on the conversations in this thread, and although heated and certainly divisive, seems to remain civil, and thus I haven't taken any action.

    Please remember to mention the rule broken when reporting content, and although I encourage you to keep reporting content you believe violates the rules, avoid reporting content simply because you disagree with it (unless it's a topic explicitly banned by the rules).

    I am proud of the level of civility you were able to retain even in very divisive topics. I encourage open conversation without hostility, and disagreeing is part of conversation. You can even agree to disagree, and some topics may have no right answer, and / or more research may be needed to decisively answer a question.

  • You broke rule 7 multiple times. The rules are clear. See you in 30 days.

    The statistics are technically correct, it's not all pit bulls, but pit bulls often show up in statistics due to various human factors and breed misreporting.

    They appear statistically dangerous, but individual pit-like dogs are not inherently dangerous, hence why rule 7 is important.

  • Not getting into this discussion, but next time, please provide your sources in the same comment where you make the claim.

    EDIT: I've updated the rules, this comment is void and null.

    Please cite your sources upon request, ideally in the reply where the claim is made but not necessarily. Citing your sources when making a claim is, however, recommended to avoid a Rule 8 violation, but will not be enforced.
