I disagree.

Why have a padlock for a dog that is only put there 'temporarily' to empty?

The whole purpose of the lock is to "secure" the dog while the owner is not there.
(The idiot just didn't think about the collar or removing the axle.)

And, have either of you considered that this idiot took the photo of his dog on his NEW "ultra-secure" chainspace?

More than likely, this retard was proud of his "great idea," and new "secure chain setup," and so he took a photo of his dog + huge padlock to "show off" ... as the type to put extra-huge chains/swivels/locks wants everyone to see them.

Unfortunately, the only thing he documented with the photo was his own lack of knowledge (regarding chains), and his own lack of intelligence in not being smart enough to realize that "heavy lock" won't prevent someone from either removing the collar or removing the axle.
