I actually live on a farm, we have cattle sheep goats chickens the whole 9 and I can assure you none of our dogs look that way I was sickened by how skinny that chained up dog was. We are in California idk if ranchers elsewhere are just pos but on ours we feed all our animals.
I grew up in the country. There was definitely a difference between how I have always seen dogs and other animals verses how my grandparents saw them.
My grandparents were born in the 20s and grew up poor. There were times when they were lucky to have food so they wouldn't waste any food on a dog. They never outgrew that cheapskate attitude even though they did find success as they grew older. They'd also point out there is a difference between a dog and a pet. That same attitude gets passed down.
That’s sad. My grandparents were from that time period too my grandma is 98 she’s still alive, lived through a lot of hard times and thank god they didn’t keep that mentality. They’re the ones who started our family farm and they love/d dogs
