To avoid being misunderstood I want it known I am not against people having pets for emotional issues such as companionship. I am against people having animals on a whim and then not being responsible owners.
City life for an active dog is often spent alone in a yard most of their days. As a pack animal this is much like a human being forced to live in isolation. Or they are forced to live mostly indoors. As a kid in the country our dogs went with us everywhere except the school down the road.
Then there is the issue of dogs being selectively bred for horrible traits that leave them miserable and sickly or just inbred with mental issues.
Patriot, I understood what you shared correctly. And I totally agree with you.
