[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s cultural to an extent. Caucasians in America often treat dogs different than people from other cultural backgrounds. They see a higher value to the animal. Other cultures don’t value the animal in the same way, so seeing the dog be ridden on or jumped on, is not as large of an issue. What culture are the neighbors OP?

Asking as a Sri Lankan with El Salvadorian neighbors and Nigerian in laws. Each of us has a different pattern of thought about the way animals are treated. [/quote]

If we are now going to excuse the mistreatment of animals, a call to ASPCA to remove the dog will solve that pattern of thought.[/quote]

It is really ok for people to treat dogs like animals, which is what they are. [/quote]

Being rough with a sensitive dog is not ideal but it's not abusive.  [b]The child will learn over time[/b].  There's a lot of bizarre posts on this thread.  Even more than usual.[/quote]

Not all do. If you don't teach children right from wrong, they don't all figure it out as they get older. This is how we end up with people tying a dog to a tree and beating it with baseball bat, or sticking things up its orifice, or duct taping its mouth (or worse). These three are specific examples of dogs we have taken into rescue. Maybe you'll call that "being rough with a sensitive dog" too. [/quote]

You really think your post isn't bizarre?

Why do you think the child's parents aren't telling him "gentle" inside the house?[/quote]

That was the first time I posted on this thread, so there are apparently a whole lot of 'bizarre' posters on here, who don't think it's acceptable for kids to try to sit on dogs, throw things at them, or hit them. What's so bizarre about what I wrote? These are specific things that children (and presumably adults, because no one caught the a$$holes that stuck tree branches inside two puppies) have done. Maybe, IF someone had stopped them when they were children, it wouldn't have escalated. Or maybe you think that it's bizarre that people find it unacceptable for dogs to be hit with baseball bats, or have their mouths duct taped.

Why do I care what the child's parents are telling him inside the house? It's clearly not working. Or they don't do it because they don't care, or they're drowning in their own $hit and haven't been keeping an eye on the kid or the dog. [/quote]
