why imprison them?
Answers:
Um, 'cause dogs are NOT wild animals and most would not be able to survive on their own.
Why don't YOU go out in the woods for a month or two and see how well you do? No fair bringing equipment with you, the dog has none. Don't read up on it either, just go on your "instincts".
Let us know when you get back.
good point, but i luv my dog waaayyy too much
Wolves are in the wild... domesticated DOGS should live in the house...
Because many of them are domesticated. So many are bred specifically for pets, a lot would probably starve to death.
Acutally, dogs can't live long without humans. They need us to survive.
no. if dogs were in the wild most of them would die. thats why we keep them as pets.
I see what you mean. But in today's day and age, dogs are treated like family. They are treated like children. =)
then the population would need to be controlled.
who wants a dog hunting season?
Because they were bred to be house pets and they love affection and the wild wouldn't be able to give that to them.
because they are different from wolves. without our shelter, love, and support they would be nothing. and we do not imprison them. we give them a home. and they give back love and excitement. as they say "a dog is a man's best friend"
i hope this answered your question.
There are very few "wild" dog breeds left, such as the dingo. Most dog breeds have been domesticated and wouldn't survive in the wild. C'mon, a tiny chihuahua would be vulture food in a day. I would take generations for dog breeds to regain the ability to survive in the wild.
Right on Man. FREE SPOT!
I own a beautiful English Springer Spaniel and the last place he wants to be is in the wild! He lives a charmed life and given the option, I'm sure he would choose the life he is living.
why should they be in wild?? who's imprisoning them? u mean ppl who keep them as pets in the house?? have u seen dogs who were knocked down by vehicles? have u seen dogs who are abused by ppl on the streets? have u seen dogs who cant fend for themselves? what they gonna eat? rubbish? other animals? gawd.
i wuld say..some dogs are very very wild..and they should be out in the wild..and if speak from the point that are they are imprisoned by humans, i dont agree with that, because i think they like living with humans, out in the wild its a competition for food and when they are living with their owners, they dont have to compete for food, they just get it, without any hassel, so overall my opinion is that some dogs love being with their owners, whereas there are some wild dogs out there, that need to be out in the wild.
Dogs are NOT wild animals.
They are domesticated. which means they were made for the home. To be pets. Thats why they are different from wolves and their other ancestors. Dogs cant live by themselves in our world.
It's not imprisonment, it's survival. If dogs were wild, they would get killed off for attacking livestock and humans. Thats just how it is. Besides, who wants a 200 pound great dane charging at them?
Okay, so we've all heard the debate that animals should not be in zoos or even as pets, and that their natural environment is in the wild, right?
Think of it this way, if you were the animal, would you rather be kept in a spacious hotel room and provided entertainment and three full courses a day, or be left in the wilderness to scavenge for your own survival?
That may be where we came from, but that is not where we now belong. Some undomesticated animals should certainly not be pets(i hate the zebra fad going on right now), but dogs have been coexisting with humans for years. They were domesticated with us.
the domestic dog is no longer considered a feral animal. Now considered a domesticated animal that has grown more and more dependent upon humans. Dogs proved to be very useful to early man as hunters and companions. So i guess they became dependent upon humans by chance. The people I know that own dogs don't imprison them. They are kept in yards go for long walks, etc. But they have lost their natural freedoms. Too late now though, can't turn the clock back. There are a lot of species of dogs that are still found in the wild.
Don't you know dogs are man's best friends. If they did not like people they would run off all the time.
I just saw on TV where dogs like the Labradors are life saving dogs in the ocean and fresh water. Would they do that if they did not like people?
no dogs shouldnt be in the wild, wolves should, dogs are just wolves that have been selectively bred to have more variety, you cant put a chihuahua in the wild, how could it fend for itself. you wouldnt throw out a chinchilla into the wild for the same reason.. it has been bred and kept in a domestic situations for generations and generations and in the case of dogs thousands of years. anyway why would you put a dog into the wild if it is happy in a family environment? maybe we should throw you out into an isolated jungle and see how long you survive
Very right. Just as human beings build settlements and hence their own jungle, dogs have a right to live in surroundings that are native to them, without any slavery.
It is really very selfish on humans' part that in order to get their protection they started to domesticate dogs and other animals.
The epitome of the fact is that when a dog goes mad (perhaps he begins to realise his situation that his freedom was taken away from him and that all he got for it was a little bit of bread and milk and a few pats on the back), they i.e.humans shoot him because he is a threat to their safety and no longer useful to them.
Dog...man's best friend.
Because packs of domesticated dogs running free revert to their wilder nature and start acting like pack hunters. They are a menace to livestock in rural areas and dangerous to people. You can't blame them for their instincts.
I don't like shooting dogs who are menacing my children or my goats or my chickens or my horses or my dogs that are minding their own lazy, well fed life of leisure business on my own property. But if I have to, I will.
I'm not talking about some neighbor's dog who happens to "cross the property line" becoming target practice just for being there...I mean aggressive, dangerous behavior.
There's this dumb idea when urban folks move to the country that all of a sudden they don't have to contain their dogs. Then they complain when they get trampled or kicked by livestock or shot.
In suburban and urban situations, not only are they hit and killed/injured by cars, but it's terribly rude to let your dog crap in your non-pet owning neighbor's yard.
Sure, if you want society to revert a few hundred years, then dogs could pretty much live as you describe. Of course, you'd have to give up all your "stuff" like cars, electricity, and computers...and how would you ask silly questions on Y/A! then?
I think you should be in the wild, land let the wolves find you
If we let domesticated dogs out in the wild to grow up as feral, then they would be a problem. Look at the cats, Overpopulation. Look at big wild dogs at large, Unsafe and then we have bite problems. They could kill a person. Either way they would be held for six months, so mean are they, that we are unable to clean them. Therefore, they are left in their dirty cage for six months because they are wild and they have bitten someone. It just seems that it is safer for them and healthier. We as owners give them their vaccinations, flea treatments and heartworm preventatives. We are able to get them fixed so their puppies do not die an agonizing death out in the wild. It is happening now!! We have the choice and we know what is right.
Dogs are domesticated animals, not wild. They aren't wolves or coyotes. Dogs look to humans for guidance, a wolf or coyote looks to their pack - big difference. That is why people have pet dogs, not pet coyotes.
cause sometimes in wild ones like at the zoos they are trying to get them to a level so they are not wipe off the earth and the dogs are not imprison most of all not at my house I treat all 3 like they are my children
because they are domesticated and need people to feed, water, shelter and take care of their medical needs. they do not do to great as strays. they are dogs not coyotes or wolves.
OMG get real.
Dogs should not be in the wild. They are a man-made species developed to be working companions to man. It is called "domesticated".
If let out to be "wild" most would die. Many breeds are, sadly, bred for traits that pretty much inable them to survive on their own. Many have no instinct to hunt for survival.
Those that did survive would multiply, become scavengers, invade human space as coyotes, become nuisances, and be shot.
Let's see...hmm...searching for food. Maybe able to make a kill once every 4 days.maybe even a rabid skunk if lucky! or finding a dead bird that died of bird flu? Or finding a flock of sheep with lambs and getting shot. Drinking from a stagnant pool infested with giardia. Coat matted with burrs under my "armpits...and itching. Laying in the rain and mud trying to sleep.
Me? I would rather be my dog! Great food twice a day, plenty of clean and fresh water. No worms, no fleas, no ticks. No rabies, distemper, nor parvo. Clean coat. Not being preyed upon my coyotes, wolves, bear..or other dogs. A nice bed. Plenty of exercise, plenty of play....long walks around the farm, paroling for ground squirrels, camping, fishing..playing in the kids wading pool...playing with balls, doing agility, getting to herd sheep occasionally..plenty of affection, petting.
They aren't wild animals. They were domesticated thousands and thousands of years ago, and all breeds of dogs were created by man.
Besides, the animals that belong in the wild have a hard enough time avoiding extinction. We continually destroy their habitat and kill them.
