I don't know if you have noticed but there is a serious lack of wildlife on this disfunctional turd, the DR. There is not only a lack of respect for dogs, but there is a general lack of respect for life of any sort, be it plant life, animal life or even human life. I remember within my first 20 minutes of arriving in this country for the first time I was disgusted as my taxi from the airport swerved almost off the road so he could hit a dog walking down the verge, he did hit it and almost killed us as well in the process, having no consideration of what a dog will do to the handling of a car at 70mph. Sat outside a Colmado last year the puppies were playing in the street, quiet dirt track. A 4x4 came down and I waved to him to slow down as there were puppies running around (you can't go fast on this track anyway), he did slow right down and waited until one of the pups was infront of a wheel and then let off the breaks, he just ran right over a pup and was smiling away. I went crazy with the guy and got right in his face, the guy was very confused by my outburst, but it turns out he thought the game was to run the pups over, not avoid them. Dominicans remind me of Moroccans when it comes to animals, just do not have a clue how to treat animals, each other and often even themselves.
I have to wonder sometimes how I ended up living in a place that I find so difficult to find things that I actually like, enjoy or can agree with. All I can say is that the sex must have been great back in the day, because none of this crap mattered back then.
