I have to agree with you here, Ann. The thing about it (other than the fact that it's possibly mildly toxic as well as annoying for the dog) is that the animal has no choice in the matter. A human can weigh the pros and cons and decide if they want to do it; the dog obviously has no say, so to impose something like that on it just isn't fair, IMHO. cheers, frank (ducking head, waiting for all the "he's just a dumb animal and it doesn't hurt him" replies) -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
