For many rural residents, keeping a dog on a chain is not cruelty but a traditional form of care. If the animal has a doghouse, water, food, and a long chain, and the owner takes good care of it and regularly releases it from the tether – is it really abuse? “City” animal activists warn that a chained dog suffers mentally, loses contact with humans, and often dies of cold or dehydration. Rural residents respond that a dog is not a pet toy but part of daily life, a guardian and a companion at work. In a world where everything is increasingly regulated by law, the question arises: can bans really replace common sense and human responsibility toward one’s own animal?

The place of horses in the modern world
Do you think using horses for work, sport, and entertainment is morally justified today?* you can select 2 answers
The use of horses for work, sport, and entertainment has long symbolized cooperation between humans and nature, but today it raises increasing moral concerns. For some, it is a beautiful tradition and part of our culture; for others, an example of the heartless exploitation of animals for human comfort and profit. Critics point to horse racing, tourism, and carriage transport as examples of violence disguised as folklore and tradition. Opponents, however, forget that humans also work hard every day, often in much worse conditions, and no one calls for such work to be banned. So is it really about empathy toward horses, or rather an attempt to silence our own guilty conscience?
