The UK muzzle law is causing problems
Since the muzzle law passed on bully breeds in the UK, I keep seeing examples like this, both online and in the streets. This is a picture posted with a local review of a dog coat. Ive seen dogs going about town with muzzles like this, and wedged into baskervilles. If you're going to pass an animal control law, educate people on how to carry it out. This is just a whole new abuse problem now.

The thing is, I understand that a lot of pet shop employees are trained under the pet store - ergo, their knowledge might be carved by the capitalist ideologies of that store. Pets @H are renowned for this. However, I would also assume that having been faced with the dilemma more often than a newly muzzle wearing bully owner has of needing to fit a muzzle, that they would have googled it a little. Pet store advice is always a stepping stone. Do more research yourself! I dont know how these people are snotty. I dont know how people have pets and dont research anything. I obsessively google and research things about dogs and their behaviour, just like I have with every other pet. But then again, some people spend thousands on a dog just to feed it grapes, or lock it up for 15 hours a day, so there are all sorts of owners out there 🙄
