Dog mauls 3 week old

[cheerfulgreek]

I posted this before, but a couple of weeks ago there was a dog owner who hadn't brought his dog in to see a vet in 9 years, and the dog was 10 years old. Not only did it bother me that he didn't care about his dog's health, but the fact that he didn't even know he could be slapped with a $250.00 fine for not bringing his dog in to get his shots. I'm not sure what it is in other states, but it's $250.00 here. If you're too irresponsible to have a pet then don't have one at all. Seriously.

What was this guy like? I ask because I think some people have fundamentally different attitudes about animals and pets, and it's not simply irresponsibility exactly.

For example, I think, that sometimes farmers have more of a utilitarian attitude about animals and since they also might have a lot of land and little chance of contract between their animals and other people or pets, they don't really think about rules and laws that say suburban pet owners are kind of consumed with.

I think this is especially likely to be true of old people.
