There are 17,000 dogs on my site. Within the past year, I started tagging “prong collar” to submissions to help people avoid this sensitivity.
5 dogs, including the mastiff today, have been posted wearing a prong collar. 5 dogs, the last one being 6 months ago, in the past year.
I do not post dogs wearing shock collars, pad locks, tape on their ears, chains on their necks, bad skin/coat, emaciated, or in distress.
If you want to unfollow handsomedogs for allowing someone to share their happy, healthy dog with you, then go ahead. Your ignorance is not welcome.
I work very hard on this blog, never have I myself posted anything controversial. The only controversies that have ever popped up have been via other people’s submissions. And sometimes I allow them so that followers can directly educate the owners themselves. But harassing, bashing, bullying, and forcing your uneducated and unsolicited opinion on people, is not how you go about informing the world on what you think you know.
There are people out there intentionally abusing animals and posting about it on the internet, and you are here disowning handsomedogs for a picture of someone’s pet with an easily accessible collar on? Their intentions are not to abuse their dog. And maybe they do not know the negative effects of the prong collar at all! So how about, instead of being rude, you educate.
