There are some (and I am not saying you think this) who believe that humans should treat animals in the same manner as humans (eg PETA and Animal Liberation) I did not subscribe to their philosophy. That does not mean deliberately inflicting cruelty on any animal is ok, cruelty is defined in the actions and motivations of humans (a human moral issue for us).
I wasn't making a human analogy I was asking someone to try it if it hurts you it will hurt a dog they have nerves, feelings and feel pain just like we do thats not trying to humanise them....

I agree with you on the peta they are very extreme and I feel sometimes bend the truth.

I actually like the look of check chains on dogs especially the finer breeds like dobies etc.....I used to have one on my boxer. but only for looks I never used it unless i couldn't find his collar. So I supose that kind of makes me a hypocrite in some senses.

like I said though I'm not into the lets ban this and lets ban that but I do think there are better alternatives
