White-tailed deer & animal protection

Well I think it will be fine. If she gets caught doing something bad then she'll face punishment. But there was nothing else you really could do,you took all precautions and tried to do the best you could for the dog. So good job! i'm an animal lover and i'm glad you didn't just let it go on the streets :] 3 years ago 1 person rated this as good thanks =] I send her serveral email and she say i can visit the chihuahua anytime i want. And she promise she will treat her good.

- Chosen by Voters I agree about the German Shepherd option. My husband's family own shepherds: she had a lot of training, and is better with other dogs than mine (who is a small, friendly, push over). She is also excellent with cats. And children. And adults… just barks incessantly (because they are built as alarms).As long as you get a dog that is used to cats, or you get one as a puppy, it should get along with the cats fine. Getting your cats to be okay with the dog, however, is a different story.Personally: I think a boxer sounds like a good idea. They are super friendly animals, very loyal, and very obedient. They do resemble a pit bull- to the untrained eye- so that could deter anyone from testing your home's boundaries.Try to stay away from hound dogs (beagles, coonhounds, greyhound, dachshund)- they don't mesh as well with other species- as they are bred to hunt them. Obviously with exposure and training, they might be fine; this all depends on the dog, but I also believe that hounds are more independent and are HARDER to train.We had a Katahoula shepherd dog x australian shepherd. The aussie made her super friendly, the katahoula made her loyal and protective. Aussies can be protective, too.. it just depends on the individual animal. They do take a lot of exercise, though…Mastiffs are huge. I wouldn't get one, as they cost a lost of money, won't live as long, are a lot to handle… and I've seen some that aren't friendly with other dogs. They are also hard to travel with, to babysit, to move, to care for… But if you REALLY love one… then get it.Any dog that you get that is larger and black will look more intimidating- which is why German Shepherds are super intimidating (black face). Dobermans are good, too- very companion-oriented. Should be fine with cats if you integrate them as a puppy- and go through extensive training. (Shepherd, too.)I personally… want a dog that doesn't shed. Actually, a standard poodle (the larger breed) are excellent dogs. They are brilliant, loyal, and have the right balance of friendly and protective. I would look into one of those. Mutts are my favorite… your best bet is to look through craiglist or the humane society… I don't trust pitbulls, but you never know. You could find a dog that is known to be very protective, mixed with a friendly dog… and I say you have the best bet.Friendly: lab, golden retriever, boxer, beagle, australian shepherd, …Protective: pitbull, german shepherd, rottweiler, doberman, american bulldog…Don't shed: poodle, schnauzer, cocker spaniel, shitsu…All around… there are so many breeds… it is really hard to to make a final decision, because it also depends on the individual dog… I am looking for one like this, too. But the dogs that are protective and good with other dogs (that I know of) are generally Dobermans and Germans. Again, it just depends.I must admit, though; I did walk our German Shepherd to the market at dark, through a bad neighborhood, one day… and NO ONE approached us. In fact, the stepped away from our path and let us walk by. She's a great dog. I want a German Shepherd because of that. Also, they can work as help dogs with the right training… and can go anywhere. Source(s): owns a crazy, non-protective mutt… and makes plans for future loving, loyal, intimidating mutt. 5 months ago 67% 2 Votes

- Chosen by Voters It is captivity, obviously. The very definition of a zoo is captive animals.Protection.. that i am not sure about. They are an attraction, that's it. I am not aware of any zoos that participate in a re-introduction programs back to the wild for any animals. If they are waiting for the animals to go extinct before doing this then it is pretty much pointless as by that point the inbreeding will have had a detrimental effect on the captive populations.They should be doing it now, whilst the genepool is strong and will not contaminate the wild populations.Some animals SHOULD be allowed to go extinct. If we have played a large part in the extinction or endangerment of an animal then i think we bear the responsibility to do what is possible. However, if an animal refuses to go along with nature and will not breed well in captivity, then we have no choice to let it go.Pandas for example.. their teeth and biology dictate that they should be meat eaters.. if they were then their habitat would be expanded greatly allowing them a huge chance of survival. But they haven't adapted to their environment. Too much money is spent on their conservation that could and should be used elsewhere.Your dad is right in a way, we should try and make the extinction of animals occur less but leave it up to mother nature to decide what goes and what doesn't.Tigers are on their way out, as much as i hate that. We should be ending the cruelty and their murder for medicine by horsesh!t, voodoo peddlers. I feel it has gone too far now, there are more tigers in captivity than in the wild.. what does that tell you..They haven't changed and they haven't refused to adapt.. We have been purposely putting them into extinction and when they go, we will not have anyone to blame but ourselves.They will exist in captivity and controlled safaris, but that is it. They will be classed as 'extinct in the wild'.. an entire species of tiger was declared extinct in China just a few weeks ago.The resources to conserve tigers in the wild to a sustainable level just aren't there and the fact is, they are worth more dead than alive.Real projects to conserve animals are where the money and time and effort should be focused. Zoos are just entertainment, nothing more.''Let them go gracefully. Leave nature alone. Haven't we done enough?''Someone said that about the pandas.. i think it refers to most endangered animals today. 2 years ago 75% 3 Votes 1 person rated this as good

- Chosen by Voters Well for one thing, "pit bull" is not a breed, it's a type, so I would go for a specific breed if I were you. I would submit it if you want to, it's your choice. It's a good story. 2 years ago 100% 1 Vote

well, we humans are also animals, do you think they should intervene to save one of our lives or not? or just let nature take its course 4 years ago I agree with you dlinn333 because that is what I`m trying to get at.Non-interference for moral reasons is a falsity.We create National Parks,shoot animals with sedated darts,move them around for convenience,cull excessive numbers.Our presence with cameras is not natural,so why not show compassion?
