[quote=Anonymous]I volunteer for a rescue. I was shocked to learn that the majority of applicants/potential adopters fully intend to crate all day while they are at work. So I've come to assume that this must be the norm. I don't understand why dog owners can't just use an x-pen/play yard or baby gates to gate off a room like the kitchen. Why a crate? So cruel and unnecessary. Better yet, dont get a dog until you have time for one and are around during the day. They are social beings and need interaction. I, too, have lived in other countries and crating is very uncommon. So that tells me that the practice is not widespread but something that we have normalized in this country and have come to accept as necessary or normal.[/quote]
