tw animal abuse (this bothers some people so)

i hate when people teach their kids bad habits. the little boy who mows my lawn just got a springer spaniel and came by to show me. tells me, "oh he barks a lot, but mom and dad got him a bark collar. it helps. i like the bark collar."

he's the nicest kid but i wanted to collectively whap him and his parents upside the head.

instead, i told him about my sister's awful mother who has her dogs' voiceboxes removed so they don't bark. and that dogs are meant to bark, that it's abuse otherwise.

he stood there for a minute and was noticibly uncomfortable and then took it off his dog's collar and threw it in our garbage can. gj, daniel. gj.

and then he'll get punished for throwing away something expensive and you already know his parents are assholes.

why not just talk to the parents rather than get the kid in trouble?

well then i'll reimburse them the expense if they come to me, which i basically told him already

they didn't and the dog isn't wearing it anymore, so i guess it was a win/win

not really since you made a kid defend his parents' decision
