Animals are tools to them, not pets or considered family members. In a more Orthodox Christian society like the Amish, dogs are considered unclean animals. I'm not saying it's right, just trying to explain the "logic" behind their treatment of animals. I wouldn't necessarily say the Amish are heartless when it comes to the treatment of animals. This is also a subject that is hard to broach with them and any attempts at changing their customs is ALWAYS met with disdain because they "know" that our society is wicked beyond belief, which is why they're so guarded against outside influence of any kind.
Their treatment of animals is pretty bad. I don’t like to paint any group with a broad brush but they have a serious problem.
The Amish are just as wicked but their judgement is what sets them apart. It’s going to cost them in the end.
