But what if the dog was mistreated by the owner.....The dog would be better off doing a runner or face a life of misery, or even a premature death....

Re: Brace Yourselves, It Ain’t Going To Happen, Is It?

It's a poor analogy TBH. The more accurate one is this. . .

The EU is essentially a dog kennel and sadly the UK British Bulldog was abandoned by its owner and dumped into the kennel without rhyme or reason. The dog never wanted to be there and hates the regime.

The kennel owners don't give a damn. They simply lap up the $$$ they charge the 28 dog owners. Many of the dogs are malnourished and feel caged and no longer free. The Spanish Mastiff hasn't been getting enough food or exercise, the Greek Alopekis is close to death and the 3 French Poodles have become violent and unruly.

The British Bulldog owners later change their minds and tell the kennel owners they want to take the dog away again, but the kennel owners just keep telling them the dog would be better off with them, that they would be fools to remove him and in desperate attempts to preserve their lucrative gravy train they invent all manner of tall stories telling the owners that the dog has become uncontrollable and dangerous and that they will likely get bitten if they take the dog out of the kennel.

Waiting to see how the story ends . . .

The story ending : the dog runs away from the kennels, but is unfortunately caught and made into lunch at a Korean restaurant.....

The sort of friends who know nothing about dogs and feed it chocolate and raisins. The dog will lap it up.
