In Spinoza’s terms, imagination is the mind’s structural mapping of what is absent, not a creation of fantasy. A child feels the lack of parental recognition and forms the idea, “My mother does not love me because she herself was deprived.” This is imagination: a representation generated by the mind, but it tracks real causal deficits like her lack of empathy, her unresolved trauma, the structural consequences for the child. The idea is inadequate, partial, and colored by perception, but it is not invented out of nothing. Imagination is always rooted in actual privation or deficit; it translates what is missing into conscious form. The mind apprehends a state of structural want, not a fictive story.

Gruñó observando de reojo al hombre sentado a su lado, el bozal que traía puesto por no seguir instrucciones al pie de la letra limitaba las pocas palabras que salían de su boca. Esperaba que esa interacción terminase lo más pronto posible, pero conociendo al ‘Cuervo’, eso no sucedería.

En su forma de mostrarse rebelde a órdenes con las que no estaba del todo de acuerdo, se negó a mantener contacto visual con el contrario. 

-”Ya terminaste?”- cuestionó en tono cortante, su voz grave y rasposa haciéndo sus palabras sonar casi como un gruñido, quizá había más razones detrás de su apodo.

Man makes the rescue of a German shepherd chained to a fence

Man makes the rescue of a German shepherd chained to a fence

The rescue was not easy, but shortly afterwards it’s amazing the transformation of dog behavior. Sometimes just need some love.

Alex, the dog, is one example (too common) of what can happen when a dog lives a chained lifetime.

The dog have an aggressive and obsessive behavior, in our opinion there are times that you may leave the dog on a chain, such as when you go out, and the reasons are as…

Opinion on laws that limit time spent chained and requirements for a shelter?

"Time spent chained" sounds stupid. Does that mean that the dog has to be brought inside a specific amount of time? Or time off the chain free-roaming?People who tether their dogs should be exercising and walking their dogs regardless of a law, just like every other dog owner.

A proper, warm, insulated, weather-proof shelter that is lifted off of the ground is absolutely necessary with no exceptions.

Cornell study on tethering vs pens and the stereotypic behaviours of each. "In each housing environment, whether tethered or in a pen, sled dogs spent the majority of their time either lying or sitting. They had more opportunity for interaction with one another in the pen, but less space. Stereotypic pacing in the pens occurred more frequently than circling on the tether. There was no indication that tethering was more detrimental to the dogs’ welfare than housing in a pen. Although tethering is intuitively less acceptable, the fact that the dogs rarely pulled at their chains and the lack of major differences in behavior indicate that tethering may be an acceptable alternative housing method, but this may depend on the breed and experience of the dog. Our findings provide no evidence that tethering was any more or less detrimental to dog welfare than being housed in pens (as recommended by the USDA). Definite recommendations regarding the use of pens and tethers require further experimental trials in which environmental and prior experience can be better controlled than in this study."

soy esclavo de mi dueño, no me saca las cadenas, ni a mi ni a mis amigos, vivo arriba de este auto.

This is Dixie, one of the sweetest pitbulls I have ever met. She was chained up in her owner's front yard with no shelter but a pick-nick bench. She was heartworm positive, a little underweight, and starved for affection/attention. She was rescued, treated for heartworms, spayed, and is living in a loving home with people who truly love her and take good care of her.

Please, if you're going to chain your dog outside or keep it outside in a pin/fenced area for that matter- please do it responsibly. Animals need adequate food, shelter, water, exercise- and they need attention from their owners! Dogs are very social creatures, and depend on you to not only meet their medical/physical needs, but their mental needs as well!
