It looks like the pictures are taken in third world country. :surprise:
me too.kelli said:i'm amazed nobody has said anything!
I beg to differ on a few points. I know several people with Anatolians. They are not inherently aggressive dogs. Typically when these dogs are being used as flock guardians - they live with the sheep. All the time, their whole lives. It would be extremely atypical to chain these dogs up.blackandyellow said:I don´t want to defend the guy or anything since I´m also against keeping dogs chained, but I understand these Anatolian Sheperds still serve their primary functions of stock guardians in their countries of origin, they are not pets. Cropping their ears could really be done to protect them from the animals they have to fight (i.e. wolves)
These dogs are not kept close to people, but to their stock, so they become very aggressive and territorial and might need to be chained when not guarding.
Just a thought. Don´t want to be judgemental without knowing the real story behind
BTW there is terrible animal cruelty everywhere in the world, not only the third world
