Yes those PETA freaks have had this uneducated biest idea that only demonstrates how little they understand about what they try to be dictators over for a long time. Like you say, they have no intention of listening to reason. They have no interest in any valid research that does not support their claims. They have no understanding that a dog that feels like they have real work and purpose is a happier dog that has no structure in their life. They have no understanding of how dog packs are organized and what they do. I do not consider myself to know anywhere near everything there is to know, but I do know that respected research has certainly supported the idea that it is natural for dogs to work and have responsibility within their packs in their natural state when they are not domesticated. Sorry PETA, being fenced in a yard with nowhere to go and nothing constructive to do is not a dog's dream life and the dog is not thanking their lucky stars they have nothing to have to do!
