Same. I am not even a dog lover but definitely lose respect for people who keep animals in small cages. Don't care if its a dog or cat or monkey or bird or tiger. Animals aren't meant to be in cages. When I was a kid people had dog houses where if a dog wanted to be in a small safe space, it could enter but also leave at will. I get the move to cages was because people wanted a pet but only on the times they were free to play with it and so cages were a way to keep it away from them when they didn't want it around - I just think its pretty awful. Animals aren't meant to be caged. [/quote]

Everyone I know that crates their dog keeps the door open so the dog is free to come and go as they please. They also line it with towels/blankets/pillows and keep toys in there - it IS the dog's safe space.[/quote]

If you read this thread, almost no one keeps the door open and allows the dog to come and go as they please. The crate is about containment. What you are describing is a dog house if there isn't a closed door.  [/quote]
