Would you consider that large and medium-sized dogs should be phased out?

Then next week they'll be telling us we should all have big dogs so we cover more miles exercising to keep fit.

Hope all the big dogs bite him in the bum.

Mark Howell, a councillor for Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council claimed that pets consume 20% of the world’s meat and fish
Rosie also strenuously denies consuming 20% of the world’s meat or fish - but was caught munching her way through a whole bag of treats last night which I had failed to put out of reach. ??

He’s a brave man. My opinion is that when it comes to the future of our planet, there’s no subject that should be off the table. We are in an emergency, after all.

Large and medium sized dogs are often working dogs, not sure that small breeds could be a substitute.

Could you see a chihuahua rounding up sheep? Or rescuing mountaineers with a (miniature ) bottle of brandy round it’s neck?
Daft idea says one medium to large (but small for her breed) greyhound.

Who the thought that one up.

Silly man - is he taking some sort of medication?? ?

I’ve usually had a Big Dog to share my life with one or two smaller dogs. So of course I’ll say don’t be such a misery guts. I do understand not everyone loves dogs. That dogs should be properly exercised and not allowed to pester people or other dogs but big dogs are often big softies whereas little terriers, watch out

So no guide, assistance, sniffer and police dogs then?

Life is getting very joyless.

Guide Dogs? Working Dogs.
Mental Health of us humans count for anything at all.
Give us a break!

What about large and medium people? Or large and medium cats? Saw a picture of a Maine Coon? cat in Russia the other day and it was huge! Almost as long as the owner stretched down her.

Of course not.

Stupid man! Watching the sniffer dogs on the Royal Institution lectures was incredible!

Oh for heavens sake! NO.

Blimey in the scheme of things perhaps we should ask ourselves which species is doing the most damage to the earth.

I think that you will find that it isn’t large dogs.

NO!!

I’ve never kept a dog or cat and wouldn’t want one, but what a ridiculous claim, that a big dog’s carbon paw print is the same as an SUV.
Is that an SUV that is driven 200 miles a week or 20, or the carbon footprint of just manufacturing it?

I would want them to prioritise phasing out breeds that are barbaric and cruel.
Pugs etc

Then the world would have gone totally mad

No! Even though my little 11kg dog is classed as medium.
People who support this, should be aware that the next step after downsizing your dog might be downsizing people. Watch out all medium and large people.

No, though I think people shouldn’t be keeping large working breeds in flats and other totally unsuitable environments.

Absolutely not.

There’s big and the. There’s F**&§$G big. Although this one isn’t one of the biggest pin.it/547XLjG
