Are there general rules on this?Are there any laws that state at what point it becomes animal cruelty? We had a "stimulating" conversation tonight during a house party tonight.We have 3 dogs.We have left them overnight on many occasions if we know we are going to be drinking , or doing an overnighter somewhere.We leave them the correct food and water and "pee pads" that we have trained them to go on.
There was a " animal militant" as my wife called her, who basically called us and 2 other couples who were part of the conversation cruel and terrible pet owners for doing this.The gent who stated he had done it for a weekend before really got the "Bad owner" of the year award from this lady.She even said if she knew about it she would have called the SPCA.Would something like that constitute animal cruelty?
