I had an apartment and then a new neighbor moved in next door. She put her dog in a cage that was in her bedroom closet. That bedroom closet was on the wall opposite my headboard side of my bed. Of course, when she went to work that dog would bark all day. I attempted to complain to the apartment manager but guess what happened? Nothing happened because that apartment manager also had a dog that she put in a cage and kept in her apartment while she was away.

In a different apartment I was on the ground floor. There was a lady above me who would let her dog do its business on her concrete patio which was above mine and then she would sweep it over the edge until my patio below looked like a minefield of dog turds.

Dogs need yards and should not be locked up in a cage or in an apartment nor should their barking invade the space of others.

If you own a dog, live in an apartment, and the noise from that dog’s barking is inside the apartments of your neighbors then you are a shitty inconsiderate person!

    Dogs in cages…

      That being said dogs dont hunt for fun (or at least aren’t good at it), cats are pretty bad for the local ecosystem

      but fuck anyone who’s dog lives in a cage

        That very much depends on the dog. Terriers love hunting, they were bred for catching rabbits and stuff like that

          For sure, but its not close enough of a gap on average to reasonably consider dogs to have a massive impact, theyre much more dependent of a species than cats - especially highlighted by cats being an ambush predator

        It depends. In Europe they’re pretty much part of the ecosystem. But in Australia and some parts of the US they can be devastating.

          Yeah but that’s cause UK is essentially the endgame of ecological destruction, they got nothing but the best survivors left
