Unfortunately for these dogs, they are pushed way too hard by their owners, sometimes being made to pull 4 tonnes of stone. Considering the fact that the human is supposed to look out for the good of the dog and provide it with food and safety, the dogs are obliged to obey their commands.
When the dogs finally complete their pull and ‘prove their worth’, their masters don’t hesitate to pile on even more weight. This tradition is clearly a form of animal abuse, yet still continues to happen despite many petitions being created to outlaw it.
