The cat is happy to go outside. It’s their natural behaviour. Doesn’t mean I approve but don’t spin this as being neglectful.
No shit. Dogs like going outside too, but it's considered neglect if you aren't in direct supervision.
It's neglectful. You don't know when it last ate, you don't know what diseases it gets...it's uncaring, and neglectful to the animal.
They get vaccinated and fed and a place to rest. That’s not neglect. Also, a Farm dog that can roam a large property is most likely happier than one who can only go outside on a leash.
