I totally understand and agree. I was simply hinting to the fact that each person's situation may be different. Without jumping to conclusions, the poster may very well be D.C. legal and knows he isn't up for any potential harm if others found out. People like myself who are retired and self employed have nothing to fear from employers. I've removed a cop and a judge before because they thought they could do whatever they wanted. If a cop walked up to me, I'd inform him he had no warrant, no probable cause, no reasonable suspicion, alno due process of law, and that he was engaging in criminal harassment and violating my 9th and 14th amendments, and that if he did not leave immediately that I would go to the courthouse and file a lawsuit and seek criminal charges on him and his PD.Yes that is a nice goal, and I do applaud it in spirit. But in the current social climate in far to many countries around the world being to open if you aren't prepared for the potential damage can still be a dangerous thing. This is the biggest zoo site in the western world if not on the planet. It is a magnet for anyone who wants to do an individual or the community harm. I mean look at the Ddos attacks here in the last few month, do you know how much money that must have cost someone to do, we have people who really don't like us. So if a little thought about what we reveal to the world saves someone's life from being wrecked or anything happening to their beloved animal(s) is that so unreasonable. Be as open as you like with family and friends people you trust. just take care online and I'm not just talking about zoo things, but zoo is the matter at hand here. Programs exist that can have a human face imported into them and then an AI scans the net for possible matches.
I'm not saying any of this to scare people 9 out of 10 people will never have any problem if they put their face on here, but that 1 person might have someone report them to the authorities or have their dog "rescued from the perverted person, who would abuse them by having sex with them." They might lose there job if the business owner, take exception to the idea of a zoo on the payroll, and a host of other minor or major things that could range from unpleasant to life destroying. At the end of the day prevention is better than regret. So taking simple precautions to protect the ones we love, is how I feel to be most prudent; and until society changes and zoo is better understood and accepted by people you have very little chance of changing my mind on this matter. I sincerely wish you and jack never have any problems if you prefer to take a different path in life. Peace out Dude.
Now can we get back to the cute pics of those 4 leggers we love and here about what amazing animals they are and what they get up to.
In the US, too many people forget that they still have rights and neglect to apply them. In other countries it may be a very different situation. I don't care who knows I'm a zoo, I'm open about it in real life, but if I'm ever fucked with or if any one messes with my dog, I'll make sure it is their life that is utterly destroyed through the court system, and let's hope Jack doesn't eat a few of his fingers in the process.
All I'm saying is that those that are open about it in person or online know the consequences, consciously do so, and have nothing to fear from the community, work, or the system. That doesn't apply to everyone, but the ones that are open zoos are protected...no one is stupid enough to do so with knowing their life would be harmed.
