        I’m not a huge fan of that either, but do homeless people typically take their dogs down the Colorado River on homemade rafts? Because otherwise, I don’t think that’s quite the same thing.

          No, but homeless people constantly feed their dogs bad food. They can’t take their dogs to the vet to take care of them when the results of that bad food take shape.

          I’d argue that living an entire life with a homeless person is far worse than the singular moment that this idiot put his dog through. I mean we can call taking your dog in the car abuse by that metric.

          Edit: he’s guilty of being an idiot, not abusive. Downvoting me doesn’t make you right, you just look like a child.

              sigh No, what I’m saying is the guy on the raft is stupid not abusive.

              Yes, reading comprehension is hard - I understand.

                We comprehend what you’re saying it’s just ridiculously dumb of a thing to say.

                The man abused his dog by taking it on this ridiculously unsafe “raft”. Whether or not the man INTENDED to abuse their animal via their stupidity does not have any bearing on whether or not their actions were abusive.

                I hope you keep trying to figure logic out. It’s worth it.

                  Your logic says bringing your dog in the car is abuse.

                  You are far more likely to kill yourself and your dog in a car accident than a rafting accident.

                  I wouldn’t go commenting on anyones logical capabilities you little trog.
