Dog Spinning: Cruel or Cultural?
« on: August 24, 2017, 03:23:06 AM »
Apparently, there is a village in the boonies of Bulgaria that has a tradition of spinning their dogs. Supposedly to prevent rabies.
Some people want these villagers to stop this practice.
Should outsiders interfere or leave these people alone?
....

...
I really love my silly little mutt, but I find the ritual amusing.
I would not do this to my dog because he would rip my fingers off if I tried anything like that.

Leave 'em alone and let them spin their dogs.
Some dogs have their tails wagging right up to lift off.
Might be like E.K. Fernandez for the dogs.
My dog would probably want to ride it again. (Except the water part. He's definitely not a water dog)

Might be fun with liberals, particularly if there were gators in the water.

I wouldn't do that to a dog, if I had one. 

Though there are some people I know of that I would enjoy having them go through that!   ;D

If they are not breaking any local laws, state laws or federal laws, I say leave them alone. I am not condoning it. Just a cultural thing. None of our business.

Imagine what would happen if that town ran out of alcohol one day.

Good question. That's one reason why outsiders should mind their own business and leave these villagers in peace.
I can think of many animal rituals, some far worse.
Rodeos
Bullfighting
Greased pig contests
Sport fishing
Fox hunts

Some outsiders started a petition to try and get these people to stop the dog spinning.
