This petition is a protest to the Bulgarian ambassador in Washington about an alleged practice allowed in Bulgaria where a dog is suspended over water on a chain, spun, then cut loose while spinning. I'm figuring this isn't considered fun by the dog.
I suppose so, amusement parks were never my thing.
Still these poor dogs don’t get to refuse to get on the jerk and hurl ride.
Well it looks like some dogs, at least, like it. Maybe they could be put on a less arduous test ride first, since it’s not possible to ask them in dog language whether they would care for the idea. No Dr. Doolittle is available for that.
Anyhow if it’s supposed to show whether the dog spinners are going to have good luck, why send any dog on the ride more than once, or have more than one spin?
And... they might already have a set of dogs that have been tested and which seem to love it. A nice steak after they’ve dried out and gotten their land legs back might also be an inducement to these canines.
Some dogs prefer bad attention to no attention.
This is not the level of dog/animal fighting.
However, it is dumb and not nice, something that a frat-boy mentality would do.
1st of all, I don’t think there is a “second go” in this clip.
2nd, I can’t tell there is any wagging.
Last, and incidentally most important - let’s please dispell the myth of tail-wagging. MANY times “wagging” is a danger sign, or sign of submission or fear. It depends exactly how it’s done, and on other body language.
Good point, OlLine Rebel. A wagging tail doesn’t always mean a dog is happy.
Thanks for the ping, Joe!
