As long as the dogs were properly hydrated and not overworked, what's the issue? And why in the world would a museum of all places participate in illegal activities?!
I don't agree with animal rights at all, animals are animals and that's it. They don't need the same rights as humans. Supporters claim they hate violence but regularly threaten people with it, and I've never in my life seen a peaceful animal rights protest.
so please tell me why a dog or any animal does not deserve animal rights/protection by the law??
after modern study where they show how much more emotional animal are...they (like dogs) can often see how you feel and will react to it(most), intelligence,ability to learn,outwit its prey,social organization(look at this wild dog in russia who travel with train and such to get food and then go home) and so on a dog (and other animal) are i would be even more careful when you say they are only animal...we all deserve and need rights and protection! (even more so when you write in a forum where it goes about pitbulls and other dogs like them, whose owner fight for the right of there nice not dangerous dogs) so please dont take me wrong, but im for rights for all living beings
Animals do deserve protection, that's animal welfare, but they don't need rights. They don't need to be in possession of every aspect of their lives, most domesticated dogs do not do well without humans. If you leave a dog to it's own devices, it's not going to be properly socialized or trained, it's not going to fit into the human world. You need to take control of their lives because they're dependent on us.

How do you guys feel about APBTs as guard dogs?I don't think they'd be particularly good at guarding property, just too damn happy and social. I've seen them excel at IPO though, so they could totally keep their owners safe. They're so sharp and eager to please, any sport really they do great at, including Schutzhund. I think they can also make good watchdogs, cause a lot of them never shut up, haha. Their barking could definitely alert to an intruder.
Edit: Oh shoot guys, Thompson's Hustleman died last night from gastrointestinal issues. I'm pretty heartbroken, I been watching him for so long. Say what you will about Thompson's Kennels, but Hustleman was a wonderful dog gone too soon. I would love to own a dog like him one day.
