Because people get a puppy and for 2 weeks they love it to death then it grows up and becomes a burden that they just ignore. Seen it a hundred times.

I'm fine with the message of not leaving pets out in the cold. But does he realize this is a lobbying organization more than anything else?
[Reply]

Cattle and hogs have pretty short hair yet ranchers and farmers dont bring them inside. Should we call the cops on them to?

He would have to be liveing in Nome in an igloo not to know about PETA.

Yes PETA is a scam, but let’s not get overheated with Mathieu for this absolutely correct PSA

Certain breeds can survive outdoors just fine. Most farm dogs stay outside all the time as well...they're not really "pets".

Me...I don't give a fuck what anyone does with their dogs as long as i don't hear them barking all the damn time.

And they don’t shit in my fuckin yard.

Because it's a dog. We had a labs for my childhood growing up. They were strictly outdoor dogs. Hunting dogs and they had dog houses but that is it. They were fine. They are descendants of wolves. The fact that humans are so arrogant that they think dogs need to be indoors in the cold is just hilarious to me. Maybe a poodle or some breeds but most breeds of dogs do not require coming inside, ever.

It's not ****ed up to leave your dog outside at all. What did animals do before we gave them houses with gas heat? Man, I just don't know.

like others have said, fuck PETA but also fuck anybody who leaves their dogs outside in the cold and neglects them. All dogs want is to be your best friend forever.

Our farm has had dogs for damn near 100 years, all of them outside dogs. Not a single one of them has had frostbite or died. In fact, they have absolute freedom to hunt, ****, and do whatever, whenever they please.

Now, if they didn’t have shelter from wind chill, that’s a different story.

I like the PSA, but PETA is the last organization I would support. Personally, I would rather he talk about the importance of helping your local animal shelters instead of mentioning PETA.

You’re 100% right of course

Most dogs will be just fine with a place to get out of the wind, and curl around in some straw... this kinda message is for the trash out there, not folks with common sense

My guess is this is a wifey thing that Honey Badger was compelled to get involved with. The Badger needs its honey.

So ...

When I was about 11 years old or so, we had a short-haired, liver-spotted pointer named Abe. Now, Abe had a good nose and a soft mouth but liked to break point so he wasn't the best bird dog of all times. Still, he was one of ours. Family.

Anyhow, one day we realize that Abe is missing. We're talking totally disappeared in the middle of a snowy, frigid Kansas winter. Looked everywhere. No joy. Assumed Abe was lost forever. Sadness reigned.

The next afternoon, I was doing chores and one of my responsibilities was working with the horses. Usual stuff. I had to feed them, clean up their stalls a bit, freshen some hay, that sort of thing. For some reason, I entered the tack room and saw Abe lying in the corner frozen absolutely stiff.

Now, I am not exaggerating here ... I bend down to check on Abe and Abe was solid as a board. He couldn't bend his legs, his tail didn't move, and his face was frosty. I couldn't even tell if he was breathing but assumed he wasn't.

So me (poor Little FAX) picked up Abe and carried him into the house (I didn't know what else to do, to be honest ... I mean, I was a kid) and I laid him on a rug in front of the fireplace in the big room.

Abe thawed out.

Abe actually thawed out and came back to life. That damn dog lived another 6 or 7 years.

So if we just put HB in front of a fire, we should expect more interceptions?

Seriously, love that story.
