Reply To: Are you selling your pet for Pesach?

Personally I think there are numerous halachic and hashkofic problems with dog ownership
Though I can see reasons why people should get one (example, service dogs) the problems in a typical city house outweigh the benefits
Halachically a person is responsible for the actions of his pet
Which means
Every time a little kid walks by a house and gets scared by a barking dog that’s on you. Every time a dog leaves a deposit on the street that damages or causes inconvenience that’s on you. Dogs in the neighborhood I work in have changed my entire way of walking down the street. The problem is so prevalent that you must look constantly down to avoid the land mines . My staff has thrown out numerous rugs from stuff tracked in by patients.
What about making a Bracha around a dog. My neighbor had one for years. The thing produced enough methane to power the electricity of a small city .
Not to mention how degrading it is to literally be a personal pooper scooper to an animal.
I don’t get it.
