Chronicles of absurdity, Act Four-"The orgy pit"

The period from 2000 to 2010 can be described as the most massive de regulation of every state law but also the society as well. Special interest groups promoted their interests as public interests which lead to complete and utter paralysis of the system as a whole. Needles to say, this was done also with the dogs. Main purpose and funding for the dog NGO's was the creation of pet market. The dog was promoted and elevated to the status of the cult animal, exactly because it is the most expensive and most accessible animal on the market. Very soon the catering industry came in. Private veterinarian ambulances and hospitals, pet shops, grooming saloons and studios, toys, cartoons and movies came as the avalanche on to the plebs. But the only thing that was most needed and thus the one that lacked the most was the TRAINING centres. Which is no surprise, since why would you train your dog, why would you condition his behaviour at all when all dogs are good and harmless? Plus training is unnatural and since we love nature, conditioning the dog's behaviour is attack on nature itself, so we won't do it. The leash laws were absolute no no, due to presence of strays so limiting the dog's movement actually limits its chances of survival when strays attack. And the strays did attack. The presence of strays, virtually limited the dog choices to big dogs, cause big dogs had more chance than the smaller ones. Also the more vicious the dogs were, the better. This didn't always meant that the choice will fall on pit bull but something that can produce substantial carnage worked just as well. Absurdity struck again in this case.
Since the strays were danger for owned dogs, the logical step would be to remove them. However, since the strays were NGO pets, that was an no no. So the owned dogs had to learn how to live with the ever increasing packs of strays. This exercise in futility is another mind numbing jewel of absurdity in the dogcraver's crown, cause he simply craves the dogtopia so much and here the dogtopia is forming in front of his very eyes, there are so many of them and society is impotent to counter them. It is literary at the fingertips. Needles to say, with this situation, the vets were uber happy and soon started to cash in on this doggy bonanza. The dogcravers would bring them strays that were mauled by the owned dogs or other stray packs and didn't ask for a price so very soon the veterinarian profession formed a guild or cartel that was advocating dogtopia from the scientific or medical perspective. The alliance between pet industry and pet medical care was formed, so called pet-vet syndicate and their goal was ever increasing number of dogs, regardless if they are stray of owned, simply cause they are making huge dough on them. And since more people owned dogs, they were more present in real life and thus the media started to pay attention. With the media addition the Dominion order was formed. The media would do the mental laundry, catering and promoting the needs of the dogcravers and creating the new ones, the legal framework was set up, since the dog (animal) protection bill was passed, which in essence abolished the dogcravers, dog owners and dog breeders of any responsibility and allowed them to dispatch the dogs on to the streets when ever they wanted, thus creating the fresh supply of dogs and than the pet-vet syndicate would provide services for those dogs. The dog became an commodity to be traded on and to make profits from.

With this setting, the question of stray dogs has been solved in the only possible way-by accepting the most insanely idiotic solution. Instead of making new animal shelters, the whole country was turned into the animal shelter, instead of pushing for stronger regulation and punishment of dog owners, cause they are the primary cause of the stray dogs, total freedom was given, instead of promoting and upholding the responsibility of the individual owner, his irresponsibility became the responsibility of the society.

  1. it is fascinating reading the evolution of dogtopia in serbia.


    as for dog commodities in the US, yeah it's here too and the pit bull is also "the pinnacle" with euthanasia drugs for the destruction of the excess, the veterinary care of their victims (includes expensive medical care and euthanasia drugs), the burgeoning cottage industry of pit rescue and of course the gambling in dog fighting.
