[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crating or leaving a dog home for an extended period of time is not inhumane. Some dogs LOVE their crates. It's their safe zones. Dogs get used to your schedule and adjust. Of course if your dog can't hold it for that long, then you should get a walker or come home during the day so they can relieve themself. [b]Like parenting, everyone has their own way[/b]. If the dog is happy, why is it your business? At least their in a loving home [/quote] Some parenting practices are universally agreed should not be used, e.g. forgoing a carseat; giving an infant cow's milk (not formula or breastmilk); putting a baby to sleep face-down. There are some practices that recognized authorities say are objectively dangerous or otherwise inadvisable. The same goes for animal care. All of the recognized authorities in this field - all of them - say that crating for extended periods is inhumane and cruel and will (WILL) have adverse impact on the dog not only psychologically, but in terms of muscle tone/development and other physical issues. Some things are not a matter of opinion.[/quote]
