Wow bound...
I often feel that in many situations where an
animal has done something bad, say like a dog
attack or even in some cases a shark attack,
I blame humans more than the animals.
But to save an animal over a person is a pretty
bad call in my opinion...
Depends on the human I guess.

We have two, one of which is made out of about 8 mm of silk stitched and laminated beef hide and is ~50 mm wide with several heavy saddle and smaller SS rings, a lock and which is adorned with tokens (several old silver coins are among them) which the meanings are private. It took me a week to fabricate it, after I vegetable tanned the hide years ago. I vat died it to black. It has a cat license on it.

The other is a heavy 18 mm silver chain with a cat license in her name on it for a professional woman cannot wear the first for business or in normal public affairs. I modified the chain with silver rings to lock it.

(I actually registered her as my cat. Twice.)

I obtained a set of keyed alike bronze locks also for them and locking other things. And she is required to keep a key to unlock them in emergencies.

Besides the D/s meaning the personal meaning is private.

It sounds like a lot of work went into them, I'm
sure you'd satisfy a lot of peoples curiosity if
you put some pics up.

What does a Collar mean to you?

Zero - zip, wont wear one - never have.

I prefer full length chinchilla fur coats and a choice between a Bentley and or an Aston Martin. I like Bentleys better though. I think I look better in both of those than a collar.

A dog attack as in what? A dog attacks someone that's hitting them?

A shark attack? Really? I'm guessing you don't watch Shark Week. Sharks don't "Attack" people for the thrill (Like MANY people do). Most of the time humans are "attacked" by sharks is because the shark mistakes a human as their normal food. Seals. Sharks don't "Attack" anything. They eat. To survive. By the logic, I'm a bad person because I eat meat.
By the logic, humans are bad because we DO attach sharks. We catch them, cut off their fins, and toss them back into the ocean, still alive and bleeding. The sink to the bottom of the ocean and die a slow, painful death.

I said it before and I'll say it again. If I had the option to save a cat or dog over a someone I don't know, I'll save the animal. Why? Because odds are that animal has done NOTHING in their life out of malice or spite. Animals are pure creatures.

It's interesting to see the comparisons to
marriage as I place that kind of importance
on it as well.

We see it differently. The collar is a symbol of his authority over me. We both have been married before and see marriage as a different kind of commitment. I don't think I'll ever see being collared as I see the legal commitment that marriage is. For me, the ultimate form of ownership would be marriage.

Oside - you know I dig you, but I have a hard time when people compare collaring to Marriage.

Heres why - Ive seen too many Doms throw their sub out on their ass - after YEARS together, without a dime to their name. The sub/slave was at home doing the house-chores, running household errands, being the Dom/Masters sex outlet - so where they thought that they were secure, they really wernt.

In a legal binding, such as marriage - there are laws that protect you, so that you dont end up desolate - especially with community property. Unless you live in a state where common law marriage is recognized -
Alabama
Colorado
District of Columbia
Georgia (if created before 1/1/97)
Idaho (if created before 1/1/96)
Iowa
Kansas
Montana
New Hampshire (for inheritance purposes only)
Ohio (if created before 10/10/91)
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Carolina
Texas
Utah

You are going to be in for quite a struggle trying to claim anything that you feel is rightfully yours.

In fact - Im going to start a thread about this - this is one of the things that drives me crazy about this stuff.

To us, the collar was equal to a marriage.

I have a leather play collar and an Eternity collar, but since we have a somewhat 1950s arrangement, my wedding ring is the ultimate symbol for me. Obviously, it's on 24/7.

I was (and now am) considering doing so. I need to get my camera and its accessories back from one of my descendants anyway.

Isn't that a similar sentiment to yours?...

And I'm glad it's going to be you, not me,
having to look into a families eyes and telling
them that the reason their mum/dad/son/
daughter isn't coming home is because you
didn't think he/she deserved to live when there
was a much more worthy dog/cat that also
needed help.

Nueva/Janah,
Hey if I knew all about it I wouldn't be asking
people haha, but just to clarify...

I didn't mean that I thought marrage and
collaring were the same, I meant that for me,
I look at collaring as something I wouldn't
enter into lightly and I would also want to be
certain that the chic I was collaring was the
one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with,
I'm not going to buy a collar and put it on
whatever random chics neck while I one night
her, that's just not my style and while people
can do that and that's just how they roll, the
meanings I place on it are different, so I will
use it differently.

I think most will commonly agree from what
I've seen so far is that a collar means something...
Meaningful rather than not.

To me, it means loyalty, honoring ones owner and love. but everyone has different definitions of what a collar means to them. so the answers will be vast.

committment, loyalty, and for me.. love. i have no physical collar at this point in time, and am doubtful that will change. There are times when i wish i had something material to see or feel when i am missing him so terribly. Having a symbol of our relationship would not change things for either of us in all actuality. The relationship is what is important to us, a symbol is not. He has had my heart and soul for much longer than he realizes... i have felt that i belonged to him long before it ever happened.
