Isn’t it cruel to walk a dog with a leash around its neck?
If I ever have a dog I will treat it as my most beloved friend and I won’t put a leash around its neck when I walk the dog… so… dog *lovers*, how can you on earth say you love your dog while pulling them with a chain like slaves? This isn’t love is it? Like you never pull your kids out for a walk with a chain? Don’t tell me the safety bs… if you really love your dog, you shouldn’t keep it prisoner for 15 years (i.e. life sentence). Set it free will you? I feel so bad when I see the way dogs are locked up in the prison cell like tanks (worse than a prison cell actually) in pet shops. Miserable creatures.
I agree with you completely about pet shops – they are miserable places, and the puppy mills that create those pups should be stopped. http://stoppuppymills.org/
But ‘set it free’? Where? Out on the street, for it to join a pack and harrass and injure or kill other dogs, cats, and even people? To be hit by a car, shot, or poisoned? In the woods, for it to starve or die of disease, to be caught in a trap, to be shot or trapped for harrassing livestock, or to be killed by other predators, including other dogs? Free, to get heartworms, hookworms, mange, rabies, distemper, parvovirus, etc.? Free to spread diseases and parasites? Free, to join up into a pack and kill the neighbors? (If you think ‘oh, my dog would be different’, you’re dreaming – dogs will behave much differently in a pack than they will normally, and it can get very ugly.)
What dogs who are ‘free’ can do with their freedom:

Obviously you’ve never had a dog, or you’d probably have already had the all-too-common experience of trying to keep an aggressive loose dog away from your own pet dog while out for a walk. I’ve also seen plenty of dead dogs by the side of the road who’ve been hit by cars, and saw plenty of injured ones come into the animal clinic where I worked.
Domestic dogs are the result of thousands of years of mutually beneficial coexistence between humans and dogs. They are not wolves or coyotes, and do not pine for ‘freedom’, so long as they are treated well as members of their human ‘pack’. Modern cities and suburban areas are far too hazardous for dogs to run free. In rural areas, your dog is at risk from predators, and it might be shot or poisoned if it harrasses livestock or your neighbors.
If a dog is trained using positive methods, a leash and collar or harness are not cruel. My dog came from a shelter where she’d been picked up as a stray and saved from just such a hazardous outdoor life. I trained her using positive methods and clicker training, to build a bond for us to work together. She walks on a leash because our city has a leash law (for good reason – I don’t want to be jumped by a strange dog, and neither does she). I use a harness, usually, to let her know that we’re just out walking for fun and she’s free to wander within the limits of the leash so long as she doesn’t pull. I clip the leash to her collar (her signal to heel closely) when we enter a crowded area where people may be intimidated by a large dog that is not visibly under control. It’s as much for her protection as for others, so I can be sure no one trips over her or steps on her. She lives in the house with me and is treated well, and is happy with her place in our pack. If I set her ‘free’, she’d just wait at the door to be let back inside. She knows she’s better off now than when she was ‘free’ as a stray!
If you want to advocate for dogs, work with the humane society to educate people about puppy mills. Work to educate people about caring properly for their dogs and making them members of their household instead of spending their lives in the backyard on a chain. Volunteer at your local animal shelter to help care for dogs in need of homes. There are lots of ways that you can help!
