[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]

They are white.

As a PoC this comment rubs me the wrong way.  Animal abuse isn’t ok.  Are you implying it is if it comes from people of a particular racial or ethnic background?  That were more likely to be abusive towards our animals?  Our kids?

If you saw me hitting my kid as a Brown person would you turn a blind eye because it’s culturally more acceptable in my community?   I’d hope not, for my child sake.

I know this is a tangent but I’ve seen several racial comments that aren’t sitting right with me.[/quote]

DP.  This is probably not a great tangent to wander off on.[/quote]
