He keeps it locked away in his safe?

Not big on a literalist interpretation of āan eye for an eyeā so no. But yeah this definitely a case where it should be taken very seriously.
Iām not very familiar with Cesar but from what Iāve heard his philosophy is deeply based on a thoroughly debunked conception of wolf behavior (said wolf behavior was observed in captivity without their packs but instead just random other wolves).
Hugely bad idea to treat dogs who are in their adopted pack like theyāre in a really crappy captivity situation.
Combine that with the drama fomenting of reality show productions and itās a recipe for disaster.
If I learned anything from Gravity Falls (I already knew about gnomes and friendship), itās that pigs make the best pets.

āā¦pigs make the best pets.ā
No, they do not.
My dog, as part of the ruckus he makes to wake me up in the morning, licks my face.
Now, imagine a pig doing this, with itās almost-human tongue, and stiff, almost-human mouthā¦and almost-human eyes staring down at you inscrutably.
Gross.

Only until heās learned his lesson
Itās disappointing that the linked petition is a poorly-written hysterical rant about a pig being harmed, and doesnāt really address the bigger picture of Milanās widely discredited methods and the harm heās done to so many dogs and owners who have bought into his quackery.

The image that came to my mind, was to call the police on him, and they would perform ritual cannibalism. But Iām sure thatās just a nasty figure of speech, and not at all what you were insinuatingā¦

Iām okay with it not being a ritual.

Yeah, but see? Once a cop has tasted human blood, heāll want more. Thereās just no reforming them after thatā¦

And when you realize that his fans are self-identified āalpha malesā who base their thuggish attitudes on the same debunked concept of wolf behavior, their reactions toward criticism of Millan are basically par for the course. Itās one giant line of stupid, A to B to C.

Not sure where to start there. Particularly since I havenāt seen any of the at-least-two-movies with that name. Iām mostly a cat person though.
No kidding! That was supposed to be your inside voice.
Besides, it would probably make the pig sick.

Iām told that there are cops who have notā¦ as yet.
Caesar Milan is embedded in a world-view that is no longer compelling or persuadable to folks living in an increasingly global culture. Childhood pedagogy as well as dog-training in Germany during the 1920s and 30s was all about dominating children and dogs and making frequent use of corporal punishment. When Hitler became dictator, the people followed him gladly because of the Father Knows Best, authoritarian and obedience-based dynamic.
Hitler used to brag that when he was severely beaten by his grandfather, he steeled himself not to feel the violence nor cry out against it. As a result, he had no empathy for himself or for others.
We donāt stand for hitting or abusing animals or wives caught up in a domestic violence situation. But it is our children, especially, who are still considered as targets. When we are hit, disrespected or treated unfairly as children we tend to treat others in our lives the same way. And more likely than not, we tend to treat our pets the same way.

There is a lot of hype and unsupported argument going on around here. And also misrepresentation of Milanās methods.
If one does a quick search for info backing up the claim that Milanās methods are āwildly discreditedā you find a bunch of websites that donāt have any authority or all reference the same article.
So letās keep our heads on. I need to see some evidence.

Iām getting a little confused. Itās the cops who have ore have not tasted human blood that make good security at Drumpf rallies?
You could ask the catholic church how well thatās worked with their problem officials. It seems to settle things down just fineā¦ for a whileā¦
