Singer Mart Hoogkamer is overjoyed that his beloved four-legged Ciro is back, but now a completely different discussion is raging: should there be a GPS tracker around his neck? Or is that animal oppression?
The panic was great at Mart Hoogkamer, which was celebrating in Spain, when his dog Ciro chose Hazenpad on Wednesday evening during a stay in Ede. Mart raised a big alarm on Instagram, even praised 5,000 euros for the finder, but was then flooded with unusable tips and withdrew the reward again.
GPS tracker
The redeeming news came yesterday: Ciro is back. Relief everywhere. But then the internet really starts. Under the news on Nu.nl A fierce debate arises: should Mart have his dog to rest with a GPS tracker from now on?
Ed thinks that is a good option, even if Mart will go on holiday again in the future. “I would hang that dog a tracker on his collar, you know that at a few meters where he is, via your phone.”
No privacy
Not everyone is served by that. Another respondent believes that the dog has no privacy at all. “Yes, check your animal again. It is human behavior, but serious: you can also read an animal. Try it.”
Another: “There is not so much ‘to be read’ if he ran away during your vacation, isn’t it. But of course you are also paranormally gifted, so that would not have been a problem for you of course.”
Wild
Harry believes that a pet has no privacy. “You are not allowed to ‘check’ your pet? What kind of craziness is that again? It is not for nothing a pet. A dog is not a wild animal and in 9 out of 10 cases just die in the wild. Sure you have to ‘check’ it.”
The GPS critic then: “You have to learn to read an animal. And if you can’t, you shouldn’t have an animal.”
CACE Finally: “Mart, buy a good GPS tracker. It gives a calmer feeling, even when he is staying with friends. And don’t bother all those morbid reactions because you happen to be known.”
