Kinda like Cows, you are raising them for slaughter and personal attachment is not really something they do with them. You know the big things we kill and eat.
Some people care that they left their 10mm wrench outside while working on the bike, some people don't. That's kinda how it is with these people.

There is a huge difference in a hunting dog or a cow raised for slaughter and a mistreated animal. Just because it's kept outside and serves a purpose doesn't mean it's mistreated. You don't have to let it sleep on your couch and go to the park with you. However you also don't have to starve it 1/2 to death and have open sores all over its body. If you don't want your dog put a bullet in it's head and be done with it. You don't have to abuse it...I grew up with farms. I understand 'Pet or not a Pet' mentality but you don't abuse either one.
