I would never expose my dog to mountain gliding (or skydiving) because I have a fear of heights, and I feel those activities are not safe. But one’s dog often wants to do what one wants to do, so who am I to say.
Finding your forever dog while you are on a hike is a wonderful piece of luck, to put it mildly.
She looks a lot better after food and medical care.
That fellow has more nerve than I. I would never mountain glide. IMHO, it is very dangerous and certainly not something a parent should risk.
Agreed absolutely.
I understand sports, and I understand flying, but I don’t understand unnecessary risk. Some of my pilot training involved some hairy situations, such as spin recovery training. I did it, because I wanted to know how to recover should I ever get into a spin, but I didn’t find it thrilling and, TBH, I wasn’t particularly impressed with that particular instructor. But one thing was for sure, I wasn’t going to go out and do spins for fun. It was (optional) training, it advanced my overall capabilities as a pilot, and it served a purpose, but just goofing around in an aircraft doesn’t strike me as a good idea.
Me neither. It doesn’t seem fair to expose your pet to danger.
It’s not as if they can give an informed consent.
True.
