My parents are older, like in their late 50s and are good people and love animals but I recently found out that they are keeping their dog in a crate all day long!! (l live far away from them and found out on a recent visit) I mean the dog is well fed, groomed and loved, but only gets out of the crate/cage 3 times a day...1 hour for morning, 1 hour for afternoon, 1 hour in evening...to relieve herself, and run around. So she is crated 21 hours a day, 7 days a week
Is this abuse? It certainly doesn't seem right. They say the dog is too rambountiuos and will run upstairs and poop in the bedroom if they let her run around unsupervised. Not that that matters, I still think it's wrong. Do you all agree? What should I do?
