Especially large shitbeasts and aggressive breeds "Oh the baby must have cried and upset the poor doggo :(" Cats are sadistic too but dogs are so fucking inbred and retarded they'll use other pets and even human babies as their chew toys.

I have a weird beef towards smaller dogs, particularly ones that deviate immensely from wolf-like physiology.
Small dogs move so jittery and so closely underfoot to the point–it gets irritating because I'm scared I'll step on them and crunch all their tiny bones or something. Then many smaller dogs are bred for neoteny to the point they either appear to be stuffed animals or substitutes for human babies. They're deep in the uncanny valley and look so pitiful. Sometimes I genuinely get disgusted looking at dogs that look like a wig come to life, like someone took a coyote/wolf/husky and crushed it with their hands into some blob of flesh and hair. All the meanwhile, the dog knows it's not supposed to be like that.
I'm definitely humanizing them, but man, it freaks me out.
Also I hate dumbshits who popularize highly recessive traits like merle English Bulldogs (which go for like 20K USD) thereby encouraging in-breeding and genetic diseases, even with "legit pedigree" breeders. Like, people don't just want some pedigree dog; they also want ultra rare shiny pedigree dogs for status symbols.

yessssssssssssss, anon, yes.
they're honestly the most pathetic bootlickers and the worst meme. dogs are entirely a meme. they're two-faced and have no spine.
people don't like these qualities in humans, even if they're dumb – why like them in animals? i truly think there's something wrong with people that value animals being easily manipulated and shamed/trained into submission. there's something very wrong with dog people in that regard. if you highly value being able to control and manipulate other creatures and your love for them is based almost entirely around that fact, you're fucked in the head.
dogs can be ok, like, kind of cute, but they're potential death machines, even the smaller ones can cause quite a bit of damage. there are 0 deaths on record from cats and cats can only inflict minimal damage on a human, on top of the fact that dogs are WAY more likely to snap. cats generally give you warning. i don't get society's dog love. they're smelly and slobbery, eat shit, eat vomit, etc. i get that they're animals, but there are so many better animals in the world.
btw, dogs have been studied and prefer treats to affection from humans, where cats preferred human affection over treats.

cats and crib death is a ridiculous comparison. the cats aren't trying to kill infants, the very very few cases documented show that they just fell asleep on them. that's not the same thing as a dog mauling your child or grandmother, wtf?
choosing to leave your infant with any animal is retarded. don't blame that shit on cats. as long as you don't let them sleep in your child's room, that shouldn't be a problem, whereas you can't separate your dog from your kid all of the fucking time.

like, being lazy is one thing, but your dog will be killed if it hurts anyone. and it's a lot of them that actually do this kind of shit. this fake dog love i hear all damn day long from 'dog lovers' is disgusting. they'll sit there and act like their dogs are their lives while being irresponsible with them around children, other animals, etc.

i think that's why i have such disdain for small dogs, because i know when people get small dogs they're more inclined not to train them or take care of them, they're just cute little toys. not saying that everyone who gets big dogs are any better, just i know that it's more likely with small dogs to have shit owners, they think having a small dog means no maintenance at all.

I was a dog groomer for 5 years, and I went from loving dogs (having grown up with them) to despising them.
The screaming and biting while doing something as innocuous as merely touching their foot, the relentless cycle of shitting for the dryer, having to rebathe them, then they shit again, scratching and clawing, holy fuck. I was literally losing my sanity and will to live while I did that job. It was great money. But it was the most stress I've ever encountered. I dreaded going to work every day to have my schedule packed full of dogs I'm expected to do in less than an hour when they take an hour to dry alone because they're such fucking assholes killed my soul. Groomers would quit all the time, just walk out, because they couldn't handle the stress - which left the remaining groomers picking up their schedule in addition to their own. After 5 miserable years, I walked out too. I didn't even care anymore that it fucked over my coworkers. I was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Logically I know that in most cases it's the shitty owners' faults (and yes, they were hell to deal with too, because god forbid you ever tell them their precious baby was less than angel, or they get angry you couldn't finish shaving them because they were attacking your hands) but when you're stuck in a hot, clammy back room full of screaming biting dogs you lose sight of the logic.
It's a shame, because on the occasions I got an actual well behaved dog, I really enjoyed my work. I had ton of repeat clients who specifically asked for me, it was the only job where I legitimately felt I was not just good at it, I was great at it. But 90% of the dogs were horrific to deal with. Absolute monsters. And way too far gone to retrain - not that their psychotic owners would bother. Even the dogs who had to be sedated (which was a lot of the clientele) would still bite and lunge.
The job made me hate dogs. I will never own a dog again, even though I know I could train it to behave perfectly because I'm slightly less braindead than the average owner, but all I can think about when I see a cute dog on the street is how shitty it probably is for a groom.

Thanks for this thread OP, it feels like disliking dogs has somehow become a taboo.
Imo the worst thing is, when parents put their ~doggo babies~ before their actual children.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOZRQJDwynMIn this video owners of dangerous dogs whine about the "offensive" things people say to them, like e.g. asking whether their dogs bite.
I noticed an interesting pattern in the comments:
>They're so cute!!!>My pitbull is so sweet, he's actually afraid of [insert something]>Actually, chihuahuas are the most aggressive dogsand of course the all time favourite:
>It's the owners fault!!!1000s of likes
>I don't hate dogs, but I'm scared because I was bitten as a child. It's a phobia, one can't help it.>In my street a little kid was nearly killed by one. Asking whether it's dangerous is only being cautious.0 likes…
There once was a discussion in the unpopular opinion thread there an anon also defended dogs by saying that right now she's cuddling with hers in bed, because he's scared of thunder. Every living being has one weakness. Ted Bundy probably was also scared of at least one thing. But that doesn't make them any less dangerous.
And saying chihuahuas or dachshunds bite more often… even a little child could defend themselves by simply stepping on them. There are so many videos out there of pitbulls and co literally ripping adult men apart, despite others hitting them. Their instinct to kill is so strong that they don't give a fuck how much they're getting hurt, so don't tell me they're actually "nannies". Most other animals and even humans with their bare hands wouldn't be able to do so much physical damage.
>I have a bull breed and he is scared of frogs,toads, butterflies, caterpillars……and he sits in your lap when he wants attention.>looks over at pit bull that I'm babysitting who has his belly up and tongue out Yup, super dangerous.>I have a 'dangerous' dog and let me tell yea he is scared of my kitten so yea so dangerous>My pit bull is the sweetest animal alive. He thinks he's a little Pomeranian and sits on your lap, smiling up at you like you're his whole world. He has never been aggressive towards anyone, and frankly, the only reason I could picture someone not liking him would be because he gives "too many" kisses (there's no such thing as too many kisses)!Yikes to that…
>My dog is a beagle pit bull mix and he bites people, he runs as fast as a cheetah and he’s really hyper and EVERYONE that meets him gets really scared of him but he’s sooo cute! He’s also a big dog but he’s only 2 years old 😂!>As an owner of an all black 120 pound pitbull who is the sweetest thing on the planet, I can say that I won't speak to you again if you tell me any of these. Plus my so called "dangerous animal" is scared of most things. She once hid behind me bc she saw a cat. She barks at her shadow. She's scared of my two bunnies. She's probably the opposite of a guard dog. Honestly if there was a break in at my home, she'd most likely want to play with the burglar. Does that sound like a vicious dog to you?Just because you think it looks cute, doesn't change the fact that it could rip your face of.

my ex's mom had a nasty Yorkie that she let sleep with her (!!!) who was a greasy monster. smelled awful, felt like petting a person with thin hair that hasn't been washed in months. he smelled so fucking bad I could not believe that she allowed him to sleep with her. his smell alone nauseated me and I actually like dogs.
i used to be one of those people who hated cats because growing up my parents demonized them and my close friend had these horribly unsocialized cats that would hide. then I wound up rescuing a cat from a hoarding situation and they are the pet for me 100%. my cat is so cuddly, sleeps with me every night, sits in my lap when I work from home, greets me at the door when I come home…anyone who says cats are aloof and unaffectionate have never owned a cat.

There should be a $350 dog license class that you MUST take to be eligible to adopt.
$600 to buy purebreds
$1000 to deal with any "guard dog" breed, especially if intended to use one as such.
Live down the street from a pair of Dobermans, one of which barks constantly at anyone walking buy. Their fence is not large enough to contain it. Same thing in my previous neighborhood with a German Shepard. If your dog barks, charges, and follows someone walking on the sidewalk "within their yard" you should be fucking charged or have to produce a license that the dogs are trained enough never to jump the fence.

>Ferrets are also high maintenance and fucking stink. They are basically small, slithery dogs/cats and will bite. If you knew anything about them, you wouldn't compare them.what the fuck kind of rebuttal is this? no one was even talking about how high maintenance the animal is. the original post was about risk of injury. any animal can bite you, retard, that's obvious, but you can more easily kick off a low to the ground ferret with smaller jaws than even a small dog. i'd much rather have a musky ferret than a smelly ass dog that's needy, rolls around in shit, and is a public nuisance. at least ferrets aren't at risk for escaping and brutally attacking your neighbor's child or your neighbor's dog or cat and needing to be put down.

Are you going to claim that a rowdy white cockatoo isn't unpredictable?relative to their size, yes, their tearing capability is still very impressive considering their size, and they can still do considerable damage if they want to. small dogs and puppies can still maul babies to death pretty easily, and has literally been the case with pomeranians before. google it.
all animals are unpredictable, because they're animals, obviously, but dogs snap and often don't give as many warning signs as many other animals, and they don't stop attacking when they attack. the key is to mitigate and prevent damage. parrots and cats don't attack people in the same way dogs do, and dog bites, and severe dog bites, are incredibly common. even if not trying to prevent harm to yourself or family members, all of these animals are STILL less likely to escape and attack and kill other animals. if you're going to run the risk of having an animal, it makes sense to not have a dog over other animals, imo. the personality profile of dogs suck, too, in comparison to all of these other animals, imo.

>>288706Idk if anybody else feels the same but I either hate or love dogs.
Either they're a complete shit stain of a dog or they're the cutest purest little ball of floof (ignoring the high maintenance fact).
I absolutely despise untrained dogs.
When I was younger I absolutely hated dogs. I lived in a tiny village and often that means that all of your neighbours have dogs like they're guarding a fucking treasure mansion when the crime was abysmally low. So basically you couldn't walk a few feet without having a barking idiot dog spot you from ACROSS the street. Or dogs that managed to climb up their fence and decide that you're in their territory cause the street is theirs.
I don't really blame the dogs, more often than not people jump in and get a breed they never researched prior. My relatives first got an english bulldog, an adorable, although smelly, bastard. After he passed away (cause yeah, those dogs come with a shit ton of health problems) they decided to get a Basset Hound. Look at this lil cutie with his funny droopy look ! He's probably very gentle and quiet and shuffle along right ? Except it's a hunting dog and he'll need a ton of exercise and training, otherwise he'll think of himself as the master of the house. So basically that stupid dog not only smelled like hell (cause those ears just drag along and pick up whatever shit they find) but was just terrible and violent towards guests.
At least when someone has a terrible cat I can punt that shit across the room, or keep it away with a broom. Try doing that with a dog that's almost your weight.

No. 289826
>>289790>you're criticizing an animal for being an animal while at the same time, holding other obnoxious animals on a pedestalbecause there are fewer benefits and more risk to having a dog. i just said that. as i said, cats attack differently than dogs. once a dog starts straight up attacking you, they're unlikely to back down, stop, and let go. cats don't attack like that, for example, which means that coupled with their waaay less muscle and muscle fibers that are meant specifically more for speed/running/agility, rather than brute force/strength, than even the smallest of dogs, even their worst attack will generally not be that bad, let alone compared to a medium sized or large dog. i don't know why you refuse to grasp this.
>dogs dont fuck with you unless you fuck with them first, pitbulls aside. are you serious? dogs are incredibly territorial, and as i said, will escape and attack other animals. cats and parrots are not similarly territorial. have you not seen the many, many videos of dogs just snapping and attacking people because of loud noises or sudden movements? it doesn't make them enormous assholes, it just makes them powerful animals that are serious liabilities that people are refusing to consider as liabilities when they definitely are ones.
>if you hadn't brought up cats in the other post, this excuse would be a lot less shitty. if you wanna talk about level of damage, invasive cats have wiped out populations of wildflife. name me a dog breed that's done thissad that you needed to reach this much when i was explicitly talking about the risk they pose to other domestic animals whose lives are valued by their families/owners, and, more importantly, children. they're put down all of the time because they attack children. why aren't you willing to acknowledge this? this does not happen to cats because cats don't typically escape their homes, lose their shit, and start attacking people.
but since you asked:
>Oxford researchers Joelene Hughes and David W. Macdonald reviewed 69 studies on canine-wildlife relations in rural areas. All but three of these articles found that dogs had a negative impact, mostly due to predation.
>Free-roaming dogs can especially cause harm on islands, where ecosystems tend to be vulnerable in the face of non-native predators like dogs. For instance, in the late 1980s, researchers found that a single German shepherd on the loose in New Zealand's Waitangi State Forest was responsible for killing up to 500 kiwis. The dog had a collar, but was unregistered, and its owner was not found.
>In another example from 2006, 12 ownerless dogs were thought to be wiping out populations of the endangered Fijian ground frog on Viwa Island. https://www.livescience.com/27330-dogs-disrupt-wildlife.htmlregardless, this wasn't even important. the topic at hand was the liability towards children and pets.
please enjoy this video of a neighbor's dog that most people would visually peg as aggressive or threatening, just a medium sized mutt (read it was a lab mix?), escaping their house and randomly attacking and dragging a child on a tricycle, who is then saved by his cat. but "dogs don't attack unless provoked", sure, that's why these things happen all of the time.

>>289704how are dogs not equally messy, loud or needy? I don't have to walk my senegal every day nor does he ever reach the volume a dog does on the occasions he decides to be noisy. any mess he makes can be vacuumed with ease, and he wears a flight harness outside of his cage to contain poops. larger parrots are obviously more capable of damage and noise, but again, it's very easy to contain their mess and avoid household destruction. their noise is on par with a dog who barks all day. as for biting, birds can vote, and a large cockatoo could give you stitches, but biting to the point of serious damage is incredibly rare (and reserved for birds like cockatoos).
ferrets are shit pets tho I agree with you there.
>small dogs don't have incredible ripping and tearing capacitiesyou are truly uneducated about dogs if you believe this. a Pomeranian can fuck you up. any small terrier was bred specifically to tear prey to shreds. will a pitbull be capable of doing more damage and be a lot harder to fend off? of course, but small dogs still have centuries of breeding behind them and still have a mouth full of sharp teeth specifically to rip and tear flesh. I work with dogs for a living and have been bit a few times. the only one I was hospitalized for with stitches was a shitty chihuahua/Jack Russel mix. when it comes to "can this dog do serious damage to me" the answer is yes, for every single breed of dog, regardless of size. small dogs tend to have a worse attitude and training due to shitty owners who spoil them and don't treat them like dogs because they're small.

A woman just moved out of my building. She was the proud owner of eight (8) little, very yappy dogs. They lived together in a 900sqft apartment. In NYC. With no yard and very little green space for the dogs to actually move around.
They were horribly trained. I couldn't leave my apartment while they were in the lobby, lest they yap and block the doorway. If she was going inside the building while I was intending to, I had to wait five minutes for her to stop her dumbass dogs from getting distracted and yapping at some stimulus outside so they could be herded back in (and if something happened inside, they would start yapping again and refuse to go up the stairs). The smell of dog would linger in the lobby for a half hour after she took them for a walk, and occasionally one would leave a 'present' for the rest of the neighbors to find.
Dog Lady was a very strange woman who seldom talked to anybody else, but when she did, it was in the same 'mommyese' way that she would talk to her dogs. I'm pretty sure she didn't have a job and have no idea how she afforded to live where she did in addition to the astronomical monthly pet fee she must have paid for eight little yappy dogs and the cost of taking care of eight little yappy dogs. If only she'd used some of that money to train them.

But for a cat to contract it, its quite unlikely if they're indoor only and have had their shots, and are not fed raw food, birds, rats, etc. Ive seen dogs eat random things off the ground when they go outside, and makes them more susceptible to fleas which if ingested, causes worm parasites.

Anyway, I don't outright hate dogs, but I will say I've soured to them and their dumbass owners the older I've gotten. As a kid, I loved dogs, especially big ones because I'd run around outside a lot and play with them. But years of being around several little dogs constantly shitting and barking while I was a teen, combined with now living in a still sort of rural area where dumbasses will let their dogs roam sometimes, has soured me as an adult. I've seen dogs kill animals in my yard, and I've had to run them off. I've had dogs run up to me while I was walking, and while they didn't harm me, it was still a fucking risk. I wanna exercise in peace. And to top it all off, I was bitten by a dog owned by one of my dumbass irresponsible relatives. I only needed a few stitches, thank god, but I can remember calling them to tell them what happened. And she sounded more concerned about the dog than me.
I can't fucking stand people who just let their dogs roam. There's fields out here farmers work in, and dogs from other houses will roam all the way across those, and wind up in my yard sometimes. I had one literally on my porch, nose pressed to my door once. I'm of the opinion that roaming dogs should be shot and killed, but god knows what would happen if you did something like that.

>Nope, it’s normal. Lets be honest human babies aren’t very cute when compared to other animals.
>Absolutely not. Sure, some people like babies. Some people LOVE babies. But almost everyone loves dogs, and especially puppies. Not liking animals is generally a sign of being a bad person. Not liking babies, on the other hand, is more a sign that you don’t enjoy screaming, crying, puking, and stinking diapers. Human babies are incredibly hard to take care of, and it takes them years to grow up enough before they aren’t keeping you up all night and making a mess of everything. For a puppy, it takes them about a month or less to grow out of that phase, if properly trained. They’re cuddly, snuggly, furry babies who don’t keep you up all night crying.. usually. And if they do, it’s resolved far more quickly. They are much, much easier to love than a human baby.
>No, I am the exact same way. It’s not that I like both dogs and humans a lot, but dogs have a slight edge — no. I love dogs and I royally dislike humans. Well, maybe it’s more that I dislike humans that have been tainted by society. Humans have the capacity to be likeable, just that there are so many unlikable humans out there that are skewing my perception giving me a misanthropic bias. Bottom line: if I had to choose between saving a puppy or a baby from a burning building, I would go for the puppy first. Then I would take that puppy from the owners, because they are assholes who left it to burn in a house fire. May some awful plague befall mankind. To which I am immune.
>Nope, you are exceptionally sane. If people were honest, human babies are ugly as hell. Of course you love your own baby despite that, but to love other people’s ugly babies is insane.
>No. I would say your quite sane. I have children that are grown and I love them very much. I love my dog just as much if not more because he doesn't have a rude smart mouth.I hope they leave you to rot in a retirement home instead of taking care of you themselves once you're old if your "fur baby" is so much more important to you than your own children…

If every cat a person has encountered has been mean to them, then the problem probably isn't the cats. It's them.

While I'm not for killing them brutally, I just want people to stop breeding them.
To me, if you get a pitbull you MUST fix it.
They're not even loyal, how many times in the news you see people attacked by their family dog? Cute pictures of your beast wont make it innocent, don't blame me when you'll lose half of your face due your "baby"
People often bring up other races and say shit like "Golden Retrievers and Dachsunds are more aggressive!"
First of all:
1) Golden Retrievers are not bred to kill. They make great service and therapy dogs, plus tell me how many times you've seen a golden retriever in the news
2) Yess, Dachsunds and other small dogs are more aggressive but one dachsund or chihuahua alone can't kill you, they can physically inflict deadly wounds, you need a lot of them to be deadly. With a pitbull, you just need one bit.
Plus don't get me started on the pugs and bulls
I know a lot of people who gets pugs because they're cute and meme-y with that "ugly cute" but I just call them animal haters, since pugs are bred to be sick. They cannot breath, run and they often their skin gets infected and their joints get dislocated a lot.
Bulls are so shit-ly bred that they cannot breath and always do that HHHHHHHHHHRRHRHRHH HRHRRRHRHRH sound when they walk and cannot naturally give birth, every bull has to get a c-section.
Fucking cruelty.
In the end, is not the dogs per se, but the shitty people who bred them

Stranger Things and The Shape of Water are the two most recent things I've seen with dead cats and I only ever saw a handful of complaints, whereas any disaster movie featuring a dog always has mass hysteria about whether or not it'll live.
Not that I want to see (fictional) animals die or anything, but it's disheartening to see the empathy people reserve for dogs and not cats. Like, I'll see people joke about shooting stray cats with BB gun pellets or aiming to hit them on the road super casually when you'd hardly ever hear that about dogs.

>>292252>>292256Thinking about it, there are more dead dogs in cinema than I remembered, but dog deaths are treated more respectfully, either being off-camera like guard dogs being shot or being the crux of an emotional arc.
John Wick and I Am Legend (and all those A Boy and His Dog movies) actually treat the dogs' deaths as consequential and pivotal to emotional arcs, while dead cats are pretty much treated like pest control like
>>292250 infers (gay illustrator guy in The Shape of Water has like twenty cats–so what's one dead one? Then in Stranger Things, it was all part of a sad, lonely woman joke).
The only movie I can think of that treats dead dogs irreverently is Barking Dogs Never Bite, but it's not done as an aside or some joke, and is crucial to the plot.
I mean, I sort of get why there's no cat equivalent to A Boy and His Dog (or A Person and Their Horse) since dogs, horses, and humans have task or goal oriented bonds, but it still bums me out. I'd prefer all animals in movies to make it till the end, but there's definitely a more casual treatment of non-dog animal deaths.

thats why seeing someone kill a dog, an animal specifically bred to be trusting and led by humans, really rustles a lot of jimmies. maybe we have some feeling of responsibility for them from playing god with their genetics, like whiteguilt but for dogs.

only with dogs is that kind of crazy shit excused.
and if you make the commitment to having a dog, don't have a child until it passes, or make sure you give it to a family member. but dog owners are too irresponsible to have any foresight and either just try to act like it isn't insane to have a deadly animal in your home 24/7, or they just toss the dog away.

It's strange, one of my closest friends and her boyfriend have two dogs; a Pomeranian and a larger dog that I can't remember the breed. They love them, and I can tolerate them to spend time with them, but their affection for the dogs is alien to me. I'd honestly prefer not being around the dogs, but I like being with my friends more.
With guys though, it's almost as though as soon as I get to know them, it's a sort of "me vs. the dog" thing, especially if it's a larger breed. "Oh yeah, my dog and I have been through everything together", like I'm suddenly the dog's wicked stepmother or something.

Honestly getting tired of it in my case. The dog always comes first, and I rarely get to spend time with my SO, and his dog takes up a ton of his time, seriously, like an inordinate amount of time, and it's time I can't spend with him and the dog together, either, so he's just choosing to spend time with the dog. I get it, I really do, but honestly, it's hurtful, especially when you're in long term relationships with these guys to feel so second fiddle to their dogs.
It's like, obviously, all of our pets have been there when our other relationships haven't worked out or when our lives have been tough, duh? Besides, where is your dog going to go?

>>288706i'm probably the biggest animal lover around so that includes dogs, it's not the pets i have problems with, it's the owners usually. they think that people not liking or wanting to be around dogs = animal abuse/wanting all dogs to die, and are generally very inconsiderate of why people might not like them. it could be because of fear, allergies, or even just the fact that most dogs are very excitable so it can be exhausting to be around the energy or having take care of one.
most dog people are also not even close to diligent enough about training and allow their pets to be poorly behaved solely because they think it's cute for them to be a disturbance to others. cat people can be pretty annoying too but they don't make as many excuses for them when they're bad and don't always take it as a personal attack when somebody says they don't like cats.

Do cats go on killing sprees if treated badly? No. And what does "bad owner" even mean? I feel like for most people prefering your children over your dogs or daring to scold it if it destrys your house already counts as "animal abuse" kek

I love some breeds of small dogs, but I do not like big dogs. I am not comfortable around them, and I don’t ever want to own one, especially pitbulls, but 90% of men these days make loving big dogs their entire personality trait. Then they’ll turn around and insult and mock me for liking and having a small dog. My ex boyfriend wanted a dog so badly, but he never had a pet before, even as a kid, and had no clue what went into pet ownership. He worked all day long and lived in a tiny ass studio apartment and he thought this was an appropriate for a big ass adopted pitbull. He ignored me, an actual dog owner, when I warned him about the realities of pet ownership.

I actually used to love dogs But after my step dad came into the picture and kept bringing dogs into the house, I absolutely hated dogs. He adopted a dog out of fucking no where, made me keep my cats in a bed room for weeks, then chose to introduce the dog to a cat, who then tried to fucking kill my cat and he still had the nerve to say it was my cats fault. I had to get between that dog and my cats and our other dog so many times I have scars from the dog biting me and have had to get stitches from it and my bastard step dad didn't get rid of the dog till my mother threatened to leave him for it. He then adopted another dog, who still attacked our cats but oh "since he didn't bite he's okay" and allowed his dog to fucking attack my cats and scratch them and blamed the cat for it. He then decided my cat was the problem and let her loose on the side of a random street. He then got another dog to fill the space that was 'free' . And both of his fucking dogs were untrained and would piss and shit everywhere, everyday we would come home to the house trashed because he couldn't be assed to bother training his useless fucking dogs. Those dogs couldn't do no wrong, they could attack his fucking kids, the other dog, destroy precious fucking photos and they would still be angels. We eventually had to get rid of them when we ended up homeless, and it was the happiest day of my life. Even to this day, when I have more scars than I can count from bites from those dogs, he still has the nerve to say it was my fault for being attacked again and again. Fuck dogs and fuck owners who let them get away with everything.

>>294059i dislike the focus on pitbulls wrt aggression. smaller and medium dogs are still shown to be similarly aggressive, if not more, but aren't as stigmatized because the damage isn't generally as severe.
obviously we need to treat pitbulls like the dangers that they are (i do think some of them can be quite sweet, but i don't think civilians should own them, for the safety of both animal and human), but we also need to realize that ALL dogs, can be aggressive on a dime. daschunds were found in a few studies to be the most aggressive of all breeds studied, but because of the fact that they're smaller, the attacks are severely under-reported. chihuahuas and jack russells came in second and third after them.
pitbulls aren't perfect angels and are terribly dangerous, but they're really no more aggressive than smaller dogs, they're just a bigger risk and much, much more deadly.
No. 294093
All dogs can be aggressive, but most dogs weren’t bred by trash humans to actually -be aggressive- and aren’t 50-75lbs. of pure terrier muscle. That alone is a stupid combination in a ‘domestic’ pet.
95% of dog owners can’t handle or control a mid to large sized pit/staffy/molosser type and shouldn’t be allowed to own them. This includes most people who think they can handle a pit. Of the twelve or so pits I know, three pups raised from birth by good dog owners were put down due to schizo animal and human aggression plus a way too strong prey drive that cropped up around the second year of life. The rest are good dogs, but they need to be highly controlled, exercised heavily, and watched carefully.
The breed isn’t that great, tbh. It’s fucked up, because we one hundred percent made them this way, but I’m not a fan of advocates telling people that they’re the sweetest dogs ever, because they’re not. They’re not nanny dogs and they’re not the calmest breed. They get pushed on people at shelters way too frequently, and they shouldn’t be. People who own pits need to be strong mentally and physically, and they need to be accepting of the fact that they choose to walk a bomb on a leash and should treat that with the seriousness it deserves.
Just as my shorthaired pointer, who’s never hunted in her life, will still stop and point at anything she perceives as game, a pit has a real strong and unfortunate likelihood to show aggression at some point. It’s hundreds of years of selective breeding for shitty traits that are difficult to be rid of, like it or not.

The fact that dogs are so popular and aren't considered an "exotic" pet means there are tons of horrific dog owners, and by proxy, tons of horrific dogs.

I don't particularly like dogs but dog owners are just so selfish, i could vent about it all day.
I can't even count the times that I had to jump over leashes because owners just let their dogs walk on a 20m leash, not caring if they block the whole sidewalk in the process.
One time, a dog in my apartment complex bit my leg while i was waiting for the elevator. The owner didn't even apologize because it was 'just a small dog' so it apparently it was no big deal.
What annoys me most is that i can't take my cat to the park close by. She loves taking walks but it's too dangerous with all the people letting their dogs run free even though there is a proper dog park with a fence around it in the same park.
It's forbidden to let your dogs roam free outside of the dog park but noone cares.
But apparently everyone has to cater to a dog's needs and their owner's comfort and anyone who doesn't like dogs, is afraid of them or wants to use the park without dogs running over their picnic blanket or harrassing your pets just has to accept that.

https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/dallas-boy-mauled-by-pit-bull-bounces-back-case-to-go-to-trial-10389348>Last weekend, I caught up with the parents of Luca Romero, the 2-year-old boy mauled by a pit bull at a dog adoption event in Klyde Warren Park in December. >The boy’s parents told me the wounds on his chest and arm were so jagged and dirty they had to be left partially open while they healed in order to prevent infection, so the scarring will be permanent. >Another kind of injury is harder to see. The father, Dr. Alan Romero, 37, an anesthesiologist, said, “Now he sleeps with us. He was sleeping by himself before. For a while, he had nightmares two or three times a night. He would wake up screaming and yelling, ‘No, no, no.’”
>Dallas Pets Alive, a “no-kill” nonprofit pet rescue group, put on the pet rescue event where the child was attacked. The pit bull was on a leash held by a man who had adopted the animal the day before. Luca, 2, ran a few steps toward the dog to pet it, his mother said, and the dog attacked.>Ten days after the attack, Dallas Pets Alive published a statement putting blame for the attack on the child and excusing the dog. “In Rusty’s case,” the online statement said, “we believe it was an isolated incident given the exciting, but still stressful, environment of a busy park with strange noises/smells and an unknown person on his level reaching for him.” Dallas Pets Alive is pursuing a lawsuit to prevent the city from euthanizing the dog.
>Since the attack, the parents have received angry emails and messages attacking them for wanting to see the dog put down. “One of them,” Romero said, “said that the kid should be put down and the dog saved.”>I have received several emails expressing the same or similar sentiments, often blaming the 2-year-old for frightening the pit bull and using the word “innocent” to describe the dog.
>“We understand dogs can bite out of fear or if they get startled. This was definitely not a simple fear-bite. It was a mauling. The dog bit him and dragged him to the ground. It was trying to shake him.>“The only reason it could not do it was because four or five guys jumped in so fast and held the dog down. It was trying to shake him, but all these people held it down, so it couldn’t shake him anymore. Then it took like a minute to pry the dog off of him. It wouldn’t let go.”And of course people left absolutely lovely comments underneath that organisation's propaganda video:
>Save Rusty euthanize the neglectful parents of the unattended child!!!!!>Don't kill another animal because of negligent parents. The person in charge of Rusty had him leashed and by his side. He did the right things, the parents are to blame because they weren't in control of their kid. Put the blame where it belongs not against Rusty for being a dog.>Rusty did nothing wrong.The brat and its incompetent parents are to blame.They should be euthanized. -> the brat is a kid -> That doesn't matter that the brat is a kid. All animal abusers need to wiped out!So a 2 yo getting mauled by a dog is abusing it…? But dog hating people are cruel and insane, yes.

if this guy had just rescued a clearly unstable animal 2 days prior why did he even have it at a loud busy event? you cannot convince me that this dog was sitting calmly and not completely stressed to the max. a child toddling towards it would not flip the kill mode switch. both owner and rescue are trash.

>>296114Having lived in Dallas, I'm ashamed to say that this behavior of people is common. When I was a kid, I was walking my dogs with my sister and when we turned at the end of our drive to get onto the sidewalk the neighbor's pit saw us and charged. He went right for me, I was like 7. Our chow got in the way and I started screaming and my mom ran out to intervene, step dad with his gun.
Fucking neighbors blamed us and our dogs for aggravating their pit who "din do nuffin" and threatened calling the cops on us for threatening to shoot the dog that just almost mauled a fucking kid.
People are fucked when it comes to pits, I've met a handful of nice ones but so many shit dogs and shit owners in Dallas who breed them purposely to be aggressive and fighters. Fuck Dallas dog owners.

One was where I found a one ripping off the front of my parent's car and there was a mom cat and her kittens inside. My dad had to use a metal bat to chase the dog off and the family of cats was ok. The second time this pretty orange cat hid under a car but the pitbull dug him out and tore him apart. I will never forget cleaning up the poor animal's bruised and bloodied body and telling my neighbor that his favorite neighborhood cat was killed.
There have also been incidents where one lunged at some neighbor's kids as they were getting out of the car and they luckily got the door slammed shut back in time. I've been lunged at and have had to run from one a few times. I'm honestly terrified of pitbulls at this point. They either have no owners or the owner is just "lol he won't hurt anything" and then it lunges at a grown man.
I don't understand the point of getting this big dangerous animal and not even bothering to be responsible with it. If people want one they need to be conscious of what it can do and take precautions necessary to prevent people and other animals from getting hurt.

Gotta say, anons, it's kind of annoying, this focus on pitbull temperament ONLY as if it's specific to pitbulls only and that most other dog breeds are not as aggressive as pibbles are, as if they're actually uncommonly aggressive in comparison to other dogs, when other dogs are just as aggressive because they're all retardos that are placed on a pedestal. Pitts are absolute killing machines that cause way more damage than other dogs, yes, people are downplaying that they're killing machines because they want to seem compassionate, but studies show they're not actually more aggressive than other dogs. IMO, intent matters, and any animals with terrible temperament like almost all dogs have, on average, shouldn't be freaking idolized the way dogs are.

Why do you need an emotional support animal in these cases if it is a legit registered animal?? Even I have bad anxiety but I learn to cope and deal with it. I don’t need a stupid fake service animal for that to show off. I think the only animal that should ever be allowed is dog guides for blind and deaf people.
When I was in a pool for Uber, the driver was talking to the other passenger about you can just go to your primary doctor and LIE about anxiety or depression and ask for a service dog registration. they’ll give you a slip for it apparently.

>>298201I already acknowledged that though. This doesn't tell me anything I've not said. I already said they do more damage. I'm talking about their temperament vs other breeds.
I'm not exonerating or defending pitts. I'm just saying lots of other breeds are shown to be just as likely to be aggressive, and pitts aren't uncommonly aggressive, because shit tons of breeds are just as aggressive, if not moreso, because dogs straight up suck. Pitts are just obviously more dangerous because of their physiology. ALL dogs a shit, though ones that are capable of the most damage (big dogs) shouldn't be pets, ever.
IMO, the "pibbles are the most aggressive everrr!!" is a lie that tries to downplay the fact that so many fucking dogbreeds of all different sizes are aggressive and shit pets. Pittbulls are clearly the most dangerous and end up causing insane amounts of death and damage, and the people that own them are earth-shatteringly retarded, but on the topic of temperament alone, so many dog breeds just suck.

One of their dogs is obese, nearly 10 years old, breath stinks so bad, SO BAD that I don't even know how to describe how PUTRID it is, extremely badly behaved, whiny as hell, pee and poop at literally everywhere and do you think their owners even care to clean their mess? No, they think their fucknut dog is just ~so cute and innocent you're jealous and get a real pet already
I hate how these owners treat their gross dogs like spoiled kids in the same way a narcissistic parent treats their golden child (their favorite one) or make fun/try to dismiss others for grieving about the passing of their pet that isn't a dog but make sure to cry a river and bring flowers everyday to their fucknuts' burial when they die most of the times due to their lack of decent care.

"It just helps them feel better" isn't a valid answer, a lot of things help me feel better that aren't actually treating my illness. It seems like it's just an excuse to carry a pet around like it's something special rather than actually helping the patient or whatever.

Even if it does not work, at least you tried.

But I suppose since it's a dog it's okay for it to suffer in your eyes. If it would be a sphinx kitty freezing to death or a fatass cat unable to move you would care.

I don't get people feeling this strong of a hatred for either cats, dogs or any other animal or child for that matter. Chill the fuck out, it's just a dumb pug with a shitty owner. It doesn't know what it's doing is wrong because it's never been told no.
No. 300283
>>300257Personally I think there's more dire cases of neglect and abuse than fat pets. The dog doesn't care, and like obese humans, would probably think it more abusive if the owner cut off food.
I don't care because it's an annoying dog, and also not mine.
Also don't care about fat cats, but at least a fat cat isn't going to annoyingly bark and try to lick me with its shit covered mouth when I'm trying to have a conversation. Don't need to train a cat to not do that.

this is why people say that so many dogfags are narcissists, even if just a silly exaggeration, the fact of the matter is that for the most part, they're unbelievably careless and inconsiderate and will irrationally vilify people who have reasonable concerns for their own safety and for the safety of dogs and other pets. i swear, they just don't even care about their own dogs or dogs in general.
how can you justify pic related and say that it's YOUR FAULT that you're afraid of a large strange dog is growling at you and that you MUST trust the owner who tells you "she's growling because she wants attention!"???

In 2016, Frank Baker was attacked by a K-9 and kicked by an officer after being wrongly identified as a suspect. Noel and Bennett won a record $2 million settlement with the city for Baker. On May 15, K-9 Jaeger was being handled by officer Christopher Hetland at a demonstration when he bit a 10-year-old boy in the stomach and left a bleeding wound.

Also interesting because supremacist use this and say that’s they train their dogs to attack blacks. And I can’t stand it because almost every single neighbor in my goddamn culdesac that’s white has a dog. My family has lived in this area since the subdivision was fucking built and every white family that has moved here has dogs that growl at us and still do after being their neighbors for 10 YEARS. There have been too many close calls of me and my extended family getting attatcked wheeler aren’t even on their property. I can’t take a fucking jog anymore because they don’t keep their animals on a leash and they give me the stick eye. Well, they give it to my family regardless. Thank god at least half of the people in our neighborhood are Asian. Otherwise my parents would contemplate moving.

>>305364our local animal shelter has an unspoken but obvious rule that they will only keep 10-15% breed other than pit in shelter at all times. most of the county is the same way. they prioritize saving the murderdog. most of these have already bitten someone or been given up to another shelter for aggression before they get shuffled around to another shelter. i wish people could see the internal shelter reports on the pits before they take them home, only the most idiotic would do so.
i know this is a dog hate thread but people should let others know that it is legal to ask to see behavior and medical records as well as 'outcomes' before rehoming one of these dogs. a shelter that won't let you see it is hiding something. most people would never bring them home after seeing the paperwork. pic related.

lots of shelters will try and distract the dog from aggressive behaviors with food which, of course, only reinforces the behavior. most animal shelters are completely overrun by pibble fanatics, are basically useless at best and at worst, dangers to the general public as these dogs can't be rehabilitated safely.

The same thing happened when I was bit. they Animal Control guy who came to get the dog knew it by name, because he'd dealt with the beast before. Supposedly, in my state, Animal Control could have the dog taken from the owners, but they'd have to go to court for that or some shit. The guy from Animal Control seemed pretty disgusted by the whole bureaucracy of it, really.

>>306945i'm sorry you had that experience. i was bit by a pit mix in my front yard. my seven year old niece and i were walking her dog on a leash and the neighbor's kids let him out. they were laughing when he attacked us and i remember that more than the actual bite.
worked in shelters all my life, so i kind of knew what to do, (the dog was, lucky for me, not very strong because he was neglected and underfed; if you're able, punch or use the hard edge of your hand to strike them repeatedly in the throat and the nose) but still ended up getting bit badly on the thigh trying to protect my niece and her pet. the owner ran out and pulled him off me.
the kicker was that the owners didn't vaccinate and laughingly told me i was a crybaby for asking for proof of rabies vaccination, so i called AC and let them handle it. the dog was taken for quarantine for the standard ten days, but the kids continued to let him out constantly after that. they moved about a year later, which was great, but i will never forgive them for laughing at me because i a) got bit and b) for expecting them to prove vax. they were trash and frankly i didn't want to sue for damages even though i had a case. i didn't want to deal with them letting the dog out to teach me a lesson or some shit.
pit owners are the worst of the worst of all dog owners, down to the rich hipster types in quiet neighborhoods who must SAVE THE PRECIOUS PIBBLE, and there is a special hell waiting for them.

>>307658Fucking disgusting, especially that they laughed at you. Dog owners are such assholes. And yeah, when I called my cousin at the hospital to tell her what happened, she seemed more concerned for the dog than me. This "quarantine" shit is stupid, those dogs need to be taken from their shitty owners and put the fuck down.
The sad part is these dumbfuck owners will never learn and people will continue to whiteknight their vicious untrained beasts. And other dog owners will enable their shitbeasts, even when they're not biting people. Just look at those dumbasses over in the dog love thread who laughed about some dog killing a cat. I'm of the opinion that dogs who kill other peoples pets need to be put the fuck down too.

>>307648there is a -lot of money behind pit rescue and rehoming, the people who love them are kind of like the idiot hybristophiles of the dog world and they can and do sink tons of cash and time into shelters that prioritize pits. in many ways the breed helped to spawn, and goes hand in hand with the no kill phenomena, so for a shelter it's a double edged sword.
there are shelter vets out there who will euthanize.

>>307668it's absolutely shit given that so many of them, i would say 80% at least are not fit for placement, given internal memos and reports. they know these dogs are a hair's breadth away from attacking or mauling someone, and they advertise those very same dogs who vets report as being unstable with images like pic related.

>>307672imo it's a huge amount of pressure. pit rescues donate a lot of cash. most shelters truly want to find homes for the animals they house; cats, dogs, rabbits, the occasional snake. but that money means that the higher ups at the shelters feel uncomfortable saying no to these dogs and the people who advocate for them.
too, most shelters at this point have at least one or two pibble fanatics on staff. it's a huge problem right now and i'm not sure how things will right themselves.
anons can check their local shelters and see just how insanely high the percentage of pits has become. the population continues to explode, aided by ads that straight up lie about the suitability of these murderdogs for rehoming.

this is a dogo argentino, another 'misunderstood' breed that is beginning to fill up shelters. one could ask why so many of them are being dumped at shelters to begin with, of course the answer is that they too are bred to fight.

The room was really stuffy and hard to breathe in, and the dog started doing a low growl and trying to get attention to the boy. Within a few seconds he started crying and had to leave the room.
Apparently he felt like he couldn't breathe and started freaking out. But the dog knew that before he even started acting like anything was wrong. Shit's crazy.
Trained service dogs are the only dogs I can really tolerate because they tend to be so incredibly well-trained. This does not include ESAs that aren't trained at all and bother strangers and yip and bite people.

>>308530I have a hard time believing that this was from a lick. Unless he let the dog lick an open wound, lick him in the mouth, or something of that nature, it's most likely from a bite. Animals do carry the bacteria, but it's like staph. It's everywhere, but it's only harmful when it enters your body via an open wound.
>>308876Don't be worried. If you're a healthy adult and take preventative measures like cleaning bites from the moment you've been bitten or seeing a doctor if the wound looks infected (this also goes for scratches from cats) you'll be fine. Humans also carry the bacteria. If it makes you less worried, things that can kill us like staph and strep are in like, 50% of all healthy adults.
It's genuinely so rare that the number of cases that come from animals is hard to track.

I don't hate all dogs but I FUCKING HATE when they aren't trained and they do stupid shit and their owners think it's cute or just fucking let it happen.
Example- my partner and I were going for a walk and we walked through a park to get home.
There was noone really around except for this guy and his huge dog, like a mastiff looking thing. They were ages away, like the other side of the oval/park.
Anyway, this massive dog comes bounding up and I nervously smile and move to the opposite side of my boyfriend.
I don't pat stranger's dogs or animals unless they say I can, or I ask.
So I calmly move away from this beast, but he proceeds to shove his head constantly into my crotch aggressively sniffing.
I am very scared at this point and am attempting to move away calmy, because this dog is literally headbutting my vagina through my jeans. I then realise I am on my period and I think the dog knows or something.
So my boyfriend is trying to create a barrier between me and the dog but it keeps harrassing me so I keep stepping away from it. The owner, some middle aged fat guy is well over 10 metres away is laughing and walking over extremely slowly.
Not calling his dog away, NOTHING.
I step away more and he yells out 'he doesn't bite' with a smile.
I take this as an opportunity to try to nicely shove the dog's head away from my crotch and push the dog gently away. It starts getting more excited and starts to jump on me, I'm getting really scared and panicky, but the more I step away, the more it jumps on me and at one point bites the edge of my sleeve of my cardigan and pulls playfully. I'm trying to pull my sleeve out of it's mouth, all the while this horse of a dog is pulling on it and fucking jumping on it, and I'm saying 'stop! Please stop!'
Meanwhile the owner is still taking his sweet time to walk over laughing the whole time and my stupid bf at the time is saying 'stop getting so worked up, he's getting even more excited the more you try and pull away, your panicking too much, he thinks you are playing'
Meanwhile I'm fucking terrified.
Fat fuck owner finally comes up and calls dog and laughs and says 'he won't hurt cha' then walks off with dog. Didn't even apologise and I was on the verge of tears.
I would never let a dog do that to a stranger! Either put them on a leash or train it better! You can't just let your stupid animal harrass people! And if people look scared or alarmed, actually fucking run and a get your dog. Some strangers coukd be scared or allergic, you don't just let your fucking dog do whatever it wants!
I'm a tall girl and this dog was still bigger than me. It was also extremely heavy. Who leaves animals that big unrestrained!?

I actually love dogs, and cats, most animals, really.
However i feel like this is a good place to put this opinion.
I really like that you guys in this thread really call out the "treating your pet like a child" bullshit. But particularly with dogs.
It fucking creeps me out and pisses me off to a large degree. I have a toddler, and I'd say you certainly can draw a lot of accurate comparisons between child rearing and pet ownership. But that's where it ends.
My toddler is a sapient, intellectual being that will hopefully participate in human society someday. A dog is… newsflash, Fucking NOT!
Stop calling them furbabies. Stop dressing them in baby clothes. Stop doing shit to emulate early childhood that harms the dog's discipline and behavior. Stop this ridiculous bullshit where you're more mature and enlightened than parents because you chose to adopt a shit eating animal from the pound instead of give birth to a shit spewing baby.
Dogs can be family members, they can be loved and treasured. But holy fucking shit. THEY. ARE. ANIMALS!
And its this attitude which i think contributes to irresponsible pet owners who assume its all right to get their mangy mutt near my kid without my explicit permission.
My kid LOVES dogs but I'm trying to teach him early on that he should always wait to approach and be cautious. Because i don't care that fluffy is soooo good with YOUR kids. He's an unpredictable animal that could snap at unfamiliar situations, and i have no way of knowing what the level of discipline is. Though if you are one of the assholes that assumes kids and dogs = always ok then i have to assume a lack of it.
That's to say nothing of these pricks that keep taking their dogs out without leashes. Super, a situation where if your stupid dog decides my toddler is biteable there's nothing to physically stop him. But of course "i trained him its ok :D" I'm going to start calling and reporting fuckers that don't leash their animals, since most cities in my state have leash laws.

Bless this thread
It really opened my eyes on how much we really coddle dogs
I live in a neighborhood/town filled with dog lovers/owners so I have a shitton of stories about people not properly handling/caring for their dogs and I know quite a few people who were attacked by them as a child. Most of them have scars on their upper lips. Here are some off the top of my head;
There's this wiener/chihuahua mix dog that always comes out from my neighbors yard and runs around the neighborhood barking at cats in the middle of the night next to my window
or scratching on my front door(my mom feeds her chicken to get her to leave, which is counter productive since she keeps coming back everyday for more) We can't even get into our
cars without the dog trying to jump in. She's a sweet dog but a huge nuisance, and I don't know why her damn owner keeps letting her out to run wild and shit on everyone's lawn.
SO tempted to call Animal Control so they can at least keep her off the street, it's surprising she hasn't been hit by a car yet.
Considering people around here just love to go 40 mph in a 15mph neighborhood, and run over any cat they see on purpose.
Some other annoying things include a guy who walks his giant german shepard super early in the morning and doesn't clean up after it (along with other dog walkers who don't know what a fucking doggybag is), there's literally multiple giant piles of dogshit concentrated on the side of this one house (I feel bad for the people who live there,) you can literally smell it from across the street. There's at least 3 houses around the neighborhood that have giant dogs that are super aggressive towards people walking by, to the point where the wooden fences of two out of the three houses keeping the dogs in is broken/leaning outward./as of recently though all of them are gone, which is a relief but looking back I dread thinking about what if that wooden fence had given out.
I completely agree with the pit bull hate as well, my dad went over to my uncle's house to do some yard work and my uncle had recently bought a pit bull (It wasn't quite a puppy but not full grown either)
And he told my dad, "oh don't worry he doesn't bite :)" and of course an hour into working the pit bull takes a chomp out of my dad's upper thigh. Poor guy had to get stitches and made my uncle pay for the medical bills.
You'd think my damn uncle would have more common sense to not get a damn pit bull on account of his daughter getting bit by one when she was a baby but I guess he just cares about the breed hype and how expensive it is.
No. 316088
I love this thread, especially the spergy replies from bad dog owners.
I think that's what the majority of us actually hate. The "pet culture" in America, especially related to dogs, is fucked. They're treated like accessories, which makes it even stranger when some of their owners are so rabidly desperate to convince everyone else that their dog is superior. I know so many people who think it's "cute" and "funny" when their dog has an anxiety attack and destroys a ton of things, even if they aren't things that belong to them. I have dealt with so many entitled fucking cunts who have told me to "get over" their dogs nearly killing my friends smaller dog, digging up my tulips in front of me, destroyijg the handmade mailbox that my late grandpa made for me, etc. Maybe these people would be just as bad if they owned turtles/birds/cats, who knows, but they seem to have based their cult around torturing dogs and the rest of us.
Also, dog/animal breeding is fucked. Especially breeds like bulldogs, or other species that surfer from serious health issues and live poor quality of lives because we decide they have to look a certain way to fit in with our completely fucking made up standards. If you have a bulldog that you bought and didn't rescue, you did a shitty thing and should feel ashamed of yourself.

I'm not a complete Stan for pit bulls but they also don't just randomly attack as much as news and this thread would have you believe. They absolutely have more potential for aggression and pit owners that think pits never do wrong or that it isn't concerning that their attacks are a fair bit worse than most dog attacks are honestly the worst. But, overall, like most dogs, it comes down to a variety of factors the biggest being is their owner a piece of shit that's either ignorant or willfully obtuse.
They are pretty great "emotional support" i suppose, i can tell you from experience one reason they get the rep is they attach in an extremely strong bond with whoever raises them from a young age. They start having more problems once they experience the trauma of breaking that bond. Its sad for all pets but some adapt better than others. I found pits and other bully breeds frequently didn't adapt as well to rehoming. Every pit I've met with its original owner that knew how to raise pits was pretty sweet though.
So, i mean, if she is pretty attached and he seems responsible, approach with caution but don't feel paranoid about it.
No. 316421
>>316420Also sorry i wasn't clear i used to volunteer at a shelter a lot. And since pits are so very high energy and that bond is so intense they frequently suffer separation anxiety, they are commonly given up.

We don't give a fuck that you work at a shelter and we certainly also never asked for your knowledge about shitbulls. I couldn't care less about what "trauma" an animals has if that means it unleashes its "energy" at an innocent baby.
Here you have an example of pitbull being sooo attached to his family that he thanked them for raising him by mauling the grandmother to death (in front of her 2-year-old grandson). How sweet. Yet strangely that also happened without it getting "distressed" by ever separating their "bond". Hm.

Yep, the one i worked for had the community role of dealing with all the dogs people just fuckin dump out in the country. So, you act like I'm some moral fag and horrible stan of dogs you hate, but better be goddamn grateful i was trying to help so that the dumb animals you hate don't become literally untamed and MORE DANGEROUS THAN A TAME PITBULL COULD EVER BE.
I think people like you are ridiculous because I've witnessed the horrors of when these animals no longer have their attachment to humans much if at all. And its terrifying. So your welcome for all the fucking shit i dealt with helping so animals get adopted instead of becoming generations of animals that actually maul people and livestock on the regular.

>>316503Would always advocate for mixes over literally most purebreds…i wouldn't shy away from recommending a pure bred if it was a good fit, but on my personal experience level, yes mixing the bully breeds with something known to be a lot more chill like a lab does a lot of good for the temperament. I'd say if we're talking bout the known aggression and health issues with bullies that's about the best most ethical way to fix it. I am aware of there being a push for this, similar to people starting to regularly mix pugs and beagles so that the breathing problems stop.
On one hand too many damn dogs in the world, stop breeding them, but on the other if they're gonna then better to attempt to suss out better genetic lineages and fix known issues. Its weird that it starts sounding like trying to fix software at that point but… People and their dogs i guess.
I honestly see the argument for cats so much lol. I've never really seen the level of genetic fuckery to that dangerous level a lot with them?? You get a lot of really dumb cats or cats that like to be left alone to a huge degree or ones with really wild health issues…but i can't think of ones that i could compare with issues the likes of bully breeds.

That kind of fucking story is why you're a huge jackass, thinking your little paranoia born from sensationalist media means a fucking thing to someone who has seen actual, feral, will absolutely maul you animals.
The worst thing that has probably ever happened to you other than filling your head with all these paranoid ideas about specific dogs is someone's dog jumped on you and licked you when you didn't want that. Wow. So tragic. Pardon me for not giving a fuck when i have real issues like preventing rabies outbreaks and having to deal with the potential of actual aggressive abandoned dogs in my area that could hurt my family and i if they are not caught and rehabbed or put down.

I remember a few months ago I was at a convenience store with my mom, and some dude brought a pitbull in that was aggressively jumping around and nipping at the air. The guy had a leash on it (thank god) but what kind of a shit fucking owner allows their pet to be that aggressive. It scared the shit out of me. I don't dislike or have a phobia against all dogs but encountering them in public gives me anxiety. Recently I've been chased on three separate occasions by small dogs and while that isn't too much of a big deal, the thought of getting hunted down by a big dog I may not be able to out-run instantly gets my blood pressure rising. How territorial some dogs can be towards people who are just out and about doesn't help either when the only thing keeping me from being torn apart is a wooden fence or a nylon piece of string. Another time when I was out walking with my mom, a rabid dog was trying to hop over the fence and lunge at us. It couldn't make it, but its head stuck out over the top.
Also when I was like 8 or 9 y/o, my younger cousin and I were playing outside in our backyard when the neighbor's dogs somehow broke through the fence dividing our yards, then killed our cat.
I still like meeting my family and friends' dogs who are more often than not cute and friendly, but I've come to dread encountering random dogs in public. Never know what kind of fuckery can happen in an uncontrolled environment like that.
I can't really blame an animal for doing what animals do, but shit owners and dog zealots really fucking irk me. They're always under heavy amounts of delusional and think their precious angels can do no wrong, even when they prove to be violent and aggressive. Ideally people like that would never be allowed to keep a pet, they're too fucking retarded to properly take care of another living being and ensure the safety of others.

>>316877Samefag dogfag that one anon is getting really butthurt about and i understand these issues so very much.
Honestly dealing with the bullshit of dog zealots adopting pooches and then bringing them back because dealing with a traumatized animal spoiler alert takes some extra work and they expected us to deal with all that + train them was infuriating. Its one reason i actually can't do it anymore for my own mental health. The really tragic stuff about ferals and bad cases being the other.
The reason i actually think focusing on "shitbulls" is kinda unfair and dumb is because its actually my opinion dog ownership is that it should be way more regulated in general and dog people and dog haters alike get on my shit for it. Dog haters because they usually want to rage at me for thinking just putting down all the dogs they hate and particularly targeting certain ones when the data doesn't justify the moral panic is unethical. Dog lovers because the idea you should be licensed with a training program to be permitted to own an animal which can literally maim and kill on a regular basis regardless of breed and temperament if its treated wrong or abandoned impinges on "muh freedom."
In general pets should be subject to incredibly stringent breeding and sales practices laws which do not currently exist. The penalty for abandonment of animals (in particular dogs) into fragile ecosystems that can become especially burdensome or dangerous should be penalized financially and socially far more than it is.

There is a legitimate complaint that, seeing as tube tying and vasectomy are easier, more affordable, less dangerous procedures, they should be a lot more common. I am aware it is becoming more common for vets to learn those alternatives and recommend them. Personally, I'd give it thought if i had a dog, but mostly to spare the pretty crap recovery of the more intense surgery.
Some common arguments I've come across:
>its immoral to control their pleasure and choice to mate Lol wat its an animal
>its too cruel/too barbaric often a cover for "I'm lazy and don't want to deal with recovery or complications"
>i want to breed my dog and keep one puppy so i don't miss it when it dies as muchSomewhat understandable but really irresponsible and they often don't end up choosing to keep the one puppy. Lots of puppy dumps at the shelter were from this context. Seriously don't keep dogs, heck animals in general, if you're not going to be able to cope with their loss.
>i am retarded and believe there is money in breeding my dogEspecially hilarious and sad when their dog is a mutt. What makes me really salty about this is risking the animal's health and well being, cutting corners on the care of the young, and then they end up finding it was either a laughable profit or a loss anyway.

problematic breeds, but no one else really should imo.

Ive also grown up with cats and tbh they don't attack as much as dogs do and when they do scratch you can defend much easier.
people think that small dogs don't hurt but holy crap that poodle was chunky and 20lb and it still got me good in the face and it took some time to tear him off.

It bothers me how whenever I try to visit my relatives, their dogs act like complete attention whores and they're allowed to misbehave.
Sometimes a dog just wants to play, understandable, but sometimes I the human would like to visit my relatives without getting jumped on, sneezed on, sniffed at, and barked at by their dogs who can't stand to not be the center of attention for an hour. It's partly due to lack of training. But mostly it's now ingrained in their personalities that all humans have to kowtow to their every whim, and all they have to do is be annoying as fuck until someone caves to get what they want. I'm not even so sure with training they'd be redeemable, they'd go back the second someone enables their misbehavior.
Apparently there's a joke going around that I'm not "friends" with their dogs because I don't suddenly flip switch and act hyper and want to touch their gross, slobbery play toys. I like dogs fine; when they're behaved and I approach them when I want to interact.

I am a big animal person, I like dogs but find them boring because they’re not mysterious. The thing I love about cats is how they don’t reveal all of their ‘self’ to you. Everything most people dislike about cats - independence, choosiness, aloofness - I love. I like animals that challenge me, and dogs too often are encouraged to be slaves to people.
I also enjoy being around horses a lot, and most people are scared of them because of how big they are, and they get bullied because of it. I guess I’m not interested in having pet slaves, and don’t get a kick out of having absolute authority over animals. They deserve better than what most of us give to them.

>>372180Animals are still controlled by their instincts, anon. If they instinctually perceive something as a threat, or as prey, and snap on that basis, you're fucked. Dogs are prone to not being able to stop themselves after the
trigger has been identified and eliminated. I said that it's in their nature because chasing and hunting, killing things, watching out for threats, are all literally in their nature. Bringing a newborn around a dog bred for hundreds of years to hunt small prey is very risky. Beyond our molding them to hunt for us, they still instinctually fight off the urge to see us as prey and act on that basis. You're putting a lot on the line by expecting animals to ALWAYS act above instinct.

Our neighbors have a middle aged Daschund (so?) who they never talk to, play with, and used to let run wild all up and down our cul de sac peeing and pooping in yards and barking at people while struggling to walk with her stubby legs.
I started calling the OC Animal Control on them because we have a lot of people driving crazy fast through our part of the neighborhood hoping to find a thru street to get to the 91 Freeway, and she could easily be run over. She was actually almost hit by a car two times in the past but of course they don’t care. I’ve herded her back into their driveway more than once because she is too slow to run if someone were to come barreling down the street in their BMW trying to get to LA faster.
Plus it’s illegal in CA (or at least the city and county I live in) to have a dog unleashed without a collar/tags and we’ve already gotten on some of the older ladies who stand around and gossip with their Starbucks non-fat lattes while their poodle dogs go poop on the sidewalk…
And of course everytime someone has confronted them about the dog peeing, pooping, running in the street, annoying other dogs and just acting feral, they whine and complain that she’s such an uwu wiener dog, she’s not hurting anyone. Maybe not but she could be eaten by coyotes, mauled by another dog, or become apart of someone’s tire treads.
Now they keep her inside but she has ~separation anxiety~, so whenever the weather is nice and they come home, she’s standing on our side of the fence screeching like she’s being tortured with cattle prods. They’re also mean to her, never talk to her or give her treats, and have left her in the backyard without water when it’s 113F/44C outside. I gave her a bowl of water once because as much as I hate them and how poorly trained she is, it still bothers me to see her suffer because of her owner’s stupidity.

Narc owners have a special place in my little hating heart. I can't go for a walk in the park with my two pups, without one of those crazy people leaving their "baby" unleashed and pooping all over the grass (who knows what are they eating) when barking to every single thing that moves. That single moment you say anything critical to them they throw a neurotic toddler tantrum fml. Not to mention how likely it is that these people will throw away their dog and get a shiny brand new pup next.

I like dogs, I just hate their owners. Most dogs are sweet when properly trained and cared for, most humans are shitty and thus is our problem.
My neighbor across from me "loves animals." She rotated strays in and out of her house since before I was born. She typically has 12 animals at a time in her home; this is illegal in my state without a license. The maximum number of animals is 4. Not only this, every animal needs properly vaccinated and a boatload of other paperwork. She hasn't taken any of them to the vet. For a while, her cats and dogs were breeding since they weren't spayed or neutered. She's had the cops called on her several time over the years and had these pets taken away, but she keeps brining new ones in.
About 3 years ago, we got a new neighbor across from us; shortly after he moved in, there was flooding. We live on a hill, so the rain made a mudslide into his backyard. This guy lives right next door to the 12 pet owner. With the rain wetting the animal poo ridden soil and the heavy wind from the neighboring river blowing, my poor neighbor was hit in the nose with a tidal-wave of literal shit. His house stunk for days. He had to get a hotel because he was puking from how bad the smell was. The yards were tiny. He ended up calling the police on her, were they discovered her poo infested home, with ticks, lice, and fleas that hoped around on the furniture and in the carpets. The law enforcement actually ran outside of the house trying to shake himself off.
I've had other dogfag experiences, just recently I had been jumped on by a large husky from an owner of several dogs, who didn't use a leash. I was hiking nearby my house. This was the same person, it happened twice. I had a Shepard (twice), two different Chihuahuas, and a Lab, run after me when I went for walks because none were on leashes. All of their owners said "sorry" and then let them continue to pester other people that were also walking.
I have a dog, but she will be the last animal I own after she passes.

My nan loves dogs and has always had at least one, although she picks the worst dogs for someone of her age and lack of mobility. As a kid they would bowl me over and I’d be unable to push them off because they’re huge, and all she could do was give them a whack with her walking stick. She’d adopt the rejects from shelters and be forced to put them down a month later because they nearly killed another dog or something. I’m surprised but thankful that I’m not forever traumatised by big dogs because of her.
Another time I was walking my dog, and an old guy was out in the yard gardening with his big dog, probably a mastiff? When I walked past the dog jumped the 1.5 metre fence, pinned my dog and bit her neck. She escaped before any serious harm was done and ran home as I chased after her, but she was bleeding pretty badly and the vet said to watch out. The same dog barks all night too. I’m a heavy sleeper so it doesn’t disturb me too much but it drives my mum nuts. it’s a real shame there’s not enough responsible dog owners out there. Dogs should be spayed and neutered, especially bad breeds, and most old people should not have dogs.

>>377018This is true, but it is completely fucked up to ever let your cat outside.
I don't get why people have this different standard for cats, like we seem them as less domesticated or something (maybe because they don't willingly take commands from us, but what "domesticated" farm animal does?) so it's okay for them to just run wild outside or be left alone for days while you're on vacation.
I honestly kind of wish nobody could have pets and I find animal husbandry/having pets in general kind of weird.
There needs to be some kind of testing and surveillance for people who wish to have pets of any kind, but even more so for people that choose large dogs, parrots or other higher risk animals.

A random stranger rudely told me I shouldn't be afraid while his dog was leash-less and approaching me and my kid sister after I told him that we're both afraid of dogs. It was a narrow path and we walked to the middle of the road to avoid it coming near us (but it did anyway).
Is it that hard to understand and respect that not all people have the same experiences with dogs? I really don't understand what I did wrong in simply not wanting the dog near me or my sister.
I really wish there was some kind of app that tracked dogs, like a radar of some kind, so I could completely steer clear of dogs in my daily life.

Anyone else like the idea of dogs, but just hate the owners?
I love seeing dogs with jobs work. Police dogs, SAR dogs, legitimate service dogs, farm dogs, sled dogs etc. People in Greenland keeps dogs as property and they are chained up outside when they're not used for pulling sleds (there's no roads or train system). They aren't treated as pets. Most modern dogs in the western world are unhappy animals who are owned by yuppies and idiots that don't know how to treat them or give them a job, so they become neurotic and destructive.
A dog in its natural environment doing what it was bred to do is just great though, IMO. Dogs should be regarded as tools first, pets second. Except in the case of tiny dogs who can't like, kill people.

>>377348Yes, I've always been weirdly attracted to dog sledding. It's cute seeing the dogs get so excited about running and how it seems to emotionally fulfill them.
>Most modern dogs in the western world are unhappy animals who are owned by yuppies and idiots that don't know how to treat them or give them a job, so they become neurotic and destructive.Yeah, lots of people who own huskies keep them cooped up in the house all day when they're bred for dog sledding. Then they wonder why the dog gets so aggressive and tears up the house. It should be considered animal abuse to not attend to an animal's needs like that. I feel like people should have to buy a license to own big dogs.

My neighbors puppy just ran up to me and peed on my leg and shoes. It's a cute puppy, and has run over to greet me before, but never peed on me. Thankfully I just got home, so I was able to change and do my laundry. I didn't say anything to my neighbor. If it happens again I will, but I've had too many neighbors get really weird and hostile if I dare mention something negative about their dog. One couple went from being very sweet to going full on psycho when one of their dogs attacked my family's dog and bit it. They blamed our dog, and threatened us, including to shoot us if we came near their dogs. They ended up destroying both of them soon after that, even though we didn't even take our dog to the vet or anything because it wasn't a bad bite. Another neighbor acted like an asshole letting his dog shit in my yard, even when I asked politely from him not to, and he also let it bark all day everyday. He also got rid of his dog. Don't know if he destroyed it or took it to the pound. I just moved here and don't want to make enemies with my new neighbors. Hopefully it doesn't pee on me again, and I'll never have to mention it.

I have a few dog hate stories. The older I get the more I've come to realize I just do not like dogs, and was only around them because my family had them. My dad got a puppy for his kids a few years ago that quickly grew into the size of a horse, and of course they didn't discipline it, or have room for it, so it would run and jump around their small house all day. It jumped on me when I went over to visit and it's claw scratched my eye. Thankfully it wasn't my eyeball, but just my eyelid that got scratched. They got rid of him after only a few months, and he was put down at the animal shelter they took him to that same day for being too big and hyper.
I got a job at a doggy day care, but quit after one day. You are expected to tear apart the large fighting dogs with your bare hands, and the dogs, mainly the big dogs, would get into fights all day long. Biting and growling at each other, and you just stick your bare hands between them to try to pull them apart from tearing each other apart. The barking was never ending. Piss and shit everywhere. The final straw was when a smaller rat dog jumped up at my face and bit my lip, breaking the skin. There were cameras all over the fucking place so the rich people could tune in to see how their precious dogs where doing, and I don't know how anyone would want to keep their dog there. Or work there for more than one day.
My last story is how I came to be a true dog hater, and not want to ever own one ever again. I was taking care of my grandparents dog, because they hated her kek, so she really became my dog, but i hated her too. Everyone hated her because she was an anxious wreck of a dog, from being a rescue dog who was abused as a puppy. She barked constantly, would piss and even shit on the walls in fear if my dad or any other man, or stranger of either gender came around, she would lick herself constantly, and would tear all of her toys to shreds. I kept her for over 5 years for some reason. I was tempted to get rid of her multiple times, but was talked into keeping her because I was a single woman living by myself and I needed a dog to protect me, even though she was a useless dog who was scared of her own shadow. I finally got rid of her when I left her alone for a couple hours and came home to her having torn apart over ten nice art books I owned that were sitting on the bottom shelf of my bookcase.
Sorry for the novel, but I have no where else to complain about dogs. Dogs are loud, destructive, and can easily be very violet. And I do not miss having them in my life.

I just wish dog owners would stop humanizing their potentially harmful animals. My mom has a Shih Tzu that she completely treats like a precious child that can do no wrong for about 5 years now. Over the years the dog gets subtly but steadily more aggressive towards my cats and my mom even supports it by saying "she's just protecting the room, good job dog name" when she
sometimes chases them out of the living room. Our cats were with us years before she had to get the dog. For that reason (and because my mom used to own my cats too before she replaced them with the dog as "main pet") my cats try to sneak in anyway sometimes but watch the dog closely as it could chase them away in any minute. But instead of teaching the dog to calm the fuck down, she blames the cats because they are staring at it. There have been several incidents where the dog chased/attacked the cats because they were too close when the dog got treats/food, or when one cat was just playing with a shoe or when my mom just happened to use the same voice she uses when scolding the cats. It already snapped at my cats twice, one of it about 2 weeks ago where it actually managed to get so close there was saliva in my cats fur. My mum was shocked too but then quickly played it off with "you're overreacting, she was just pretending, my poor baby got bitten once that's why she's so aggressive, it's the cats fault for being one fucking room away from where she gets a special treat, my dog would never etc etc" and then she deflected by carefully inspecting the dog because she thought/pretended it got scratched, literally saying "i swear, if it scratched their eye..".
Now about a week ago, it started to bark and jump around my cat like it does with its toys and my mom reacted with "aww it wants to play with the cat". When I told her dogs also do this with their hunting prey and asked her to stop her dog next time, she got mad and of course accused me of overreacting/being overprotective again.
Since she got the dog I tried to teach it very clear to leave the cats alone and it works when I'm there to interfere as soon as I see signs of aggression but I can't do it all alone, my mom is still her owner (even though her dog sees me as some kind of protector, since it always rushes to me when in fear).
Sorry for the vent, but I just don't know what else to do and I'm afraid what might happen when I'm not there. The earliest I can move out is by the end of the year.

>>402633Anyone who fights to ban a certain type of dog has no idea of the consequences of it. The ASPCA specifically details this on their page concerning the topic, including statistics from areas which have gone through with banning pitbull breeds. It leads to euthanizing not only pitbull dogs (many which are good-natured), but other breeds as shelters cannot handle the number of dogs in addition to the pitbulls seized. It's also been proven that outlawing one type of dog will only make assholes seek another breed to fill the void; pitbull bites decrease, but bites from other dogs increase.
Reading a lot of these comments, I can tell dogs owned by shitty people have impacted a decent few anon's lives, and I feel for them on that. These days, it feels like there are more terrible owners than good ones. And although "no-kill" shelters have their heart in the right place, there really is no fixing a bad upbringing and poor genetics in a human-aggressive dog. With those, it is best to humanely euthanize.
I don't think pitbull breeds are a lost cause, but as long as they are bred for aggression in certain circles and cultures, those with poor temperament/genetics will continue to be a problem.

If you're a toddler that cant just kick a cat off you idk what to say bud. There are
tons of cats and dogs that a human can easily overwhelm and control. Pitbulls and other large/strong dogs don't fall under that category. Training aside, something that looks "random" to the owner can always
trigger an animal to react in an extreme way. They are stupid as shit creatures.

>>413997Toilet training dogs is a fucking nightmare, especially after having a cat who just understands within days that they go in the litter tray.
I suggest taking a small bag of treats with you when you walk the dog. Take the dog out more regularly than you normally would, to maximise the possibility it will be outside when it needs to pee. When it finally pees outside, make a huge fuss about how amazing and clever it is and give it tons of pats and a treat or two. Then take it to the same area every time you take it out (dogs like to pee in familiar spots) and make the same fuss every time it pees outside til it gets the message.
In the meantime, clean where it pees inside THOROUGHLY. Ideally you want to get rid of the smell entirely, because dogs mark their pee spots with scent so while it still smells the dog will associate it with going to the toilet.
Unfortunately depending on how dumb your dog is this whole process can take up to six months. I sympathise with you.

a big reason why i hate dogs is bc how likely they are to kill, maim or hurt smaller animals either intentionally or unintentionlly. dogs will fucking murder cats, ducklings, smaller dogs, any animal really, babies too, sometimes for no discernible reason? like just bc they want to? and whenever i see dog fanboys or fangirls go on and on about how "muh rottweiler or [insert confirmed violent breed here] is actually not violent or dangerous at all animals can't be evul or hurt anyone uwuwuwuu" i want to punch them in the jaw. dogs are much more capable of hurting or killing smaller beings than these retards would have you believe, and they're also fucking retarded animals to boot.

>>429370The problem is mostly that a lot of dog owners don't underatand what their dogs are fucking bred for. Some breeds are designed to be around small animals and some are designed to kill them. People will get dogs bred for hunting and not understand why they go after small animals.
Although, in anons case it sounds like the dog just wanted to play and did not grasp the concept of small creature = fragile. I don't think that's something you can really train your dog to get. My larger dog luckily seems to get it and is always gentle with our cat, but we didn't train him to do that. I guess eother your dog is retarded with amall creautures or its not.

i used to live in this village a few years ago, everyone except my family had a dog. you couldnt go anywhere after the sun went down because the fucking maulers would start barking and growling at anyone walking past, triggering every single other dog in the entire village to start barking and growling as well, and who want to walk down a dark street where there are about 20 dogs barking and growling at you and hurtling themselves at the fence trying to get to you, all at the same time.
the neightbours dog was especially awful, it was called something like reni and it was a sausage dog mix, you couldnt go outside into the garden without it starting to bark, literally the second you opened a door that little cunt would come running up to the fence and start barking at the top of its lungs. it was especially annoying because the house we were at only had an outhouse, imagine trying to take a shit while some dog is continuously barking at you. i was so terrified that it would somehow get over the fence and attack me while i was taking a shit lmao. in the end it had to be put down because it dug under the fence towards the road and mauled a cyclist, causing him to fall over, hit his head and get some kind of brain damage.
there were also other dogs, there was this one really skinny dog that could fit through the gaps in the fence, it chased me several times while trying to bite me, but i managed to get away by bike or by climbing up a tree. there were entire streets me and my brother would avoid because of specific dogs that were known to escape.
i have a heart attack any time i hear the sound of a dog walking behind me, especially at night.

I like dogs just fine, but they're definitely not my favorite kind of housepet. They're overwhelming and demand so much of your attention. I prefer to iniate affection, not be randomly bombarded with it.
Rats, rabbits, and gerbils are my preferred pets. They're quiet, low-odor, and are very affectionate when properly socialized. I have no opinion on cats– I'm allergic, so I've never owned one.

>>453242I don't like him either. He condenses very complicated issues into three minutes of info that shows he barely scratched the surface in his research. The dog breed episode really showcased that for me by how he treats all dog breeds like they're at the same level of ethical fuckery of English bulldogs, which are the most extreme example of breeding gone too far. That's no better than people who will take the most extreme examples of issues rescue dogs sometimes have and act like that's always what they're like.
It's especially annoying because there are very legitimate reasons for people to prefer specific dog breeds, like if you're a woman living alone who wants a dog for protection, or a family that needs a dog that is good with kids, if you need a particularly loving dog for emotional support reasons, etc etc. But there are NO good reasons for picking a breeder over adoption when it comes to cats other that pure aesthetics. So, people should be applying "adopt don't shop" to cats infinitely more than dogs.
No. 453278
>>453078I do a basic cleaning my rat cage (changing bedding, cleaning hammocks+hides) about once a week and it never has much of an odor. Various factors will influence how much a cage smells, though. Male rats are a bit more odorous than females, and odor will obviously become an issue quicker if the cage has a lot of rats relative to its size. Fleece bedding gets stinky super fast, paper based bedding (ie CareFresh, etc) takes a bit longer to get smelly, and aspen bedding takes quite a while for the smell to get bad.
Kiln-dried pine is also apparently really good for odor but regular pine can cause respiratory problems so I'm wary of it.

And yes, whether you like it or not, openly hating children is far more acceptable than hating dogs.

No one is saying that abuse of either is acceptable, that's just your own delusion.

Neither group is saying that outright abuse is acceptable.
But as a person who hates children and likes small dogs, I can sure as shit tell you I have had far less negative reactions from the average Westerner when I tell them the former, and far more negative reactions when saying I hate pitbulls/large dogs. That's just how it is. There is also more attention given to animal charities, while it is still openly acceptable to say that foster kids are "bad" or "a lost cause." The point is that we care more about another species than our own, you ninny.

People care more about whether or not you like dogs/are caring for their needs than whether or not the child next door to them is being fed or taken care of. And I agree. I even stated that I myself hate children and tend to not notice or care about charities related to them, even though I'd never outright promote abuse, I'm enough of an adult to admit that I am essentially facilitating it by not caring/doing anything.

>their involvement in fatal attacks doesn't mean people are not frequently harmed by other dogs to a lesser degree. your "debunked!!" infograph is retarded. i never said they were not fatal. they absolutely are.
>pitbulls are shown to be less aggressive than a number of breeds, but they are more lethal and this is owed to the fact that they have a more fatal fighting style, stronger bite force, are pure muscle, etc. you conflate aggressiveness with ability to inflict harm when aggressive. again, this is retarded.i'm not here to rehabilitate the optics of pitbulls and i do not want to be near dogs, i'm just saying, they're
victims too and i am awfully tired of any kind of
victims being blamed and hated for something that is a calculated problem caused entirely by asshole people. pitbulls are not capable of reasoning. they don't need to suffer and you don't need to hate them, they just shouldn't be owned by civilians, like a lot of dogs, and shouldn't be bred. "pibble haters" have some very
valid concerns, but you sound like 10 year olds that can't reason themselves out of a paper bag. people are the literal fucking problem here. hate them and wish terrible things upon them, not animals who have no foresight or control. pitbulls are also a fuckton more likely to have horrible,
abusive owners that cause this shit. there's a certain type of person that generally adopts a lot of the pitbulls that end up in shelters.

They breed them just because they want them, or think they want them. And when a ton of these pitbulls wind up in these predicaments they act like they didn't enable this type of culture to begin with, "That's not MY sweet pibble!" They'll say, until one day, it is.

>>480656I don't get how anybody ever thought it was a good idea to classify them as "pet". Everybody always claims it's solely the owners' fault but is it really? And if just a tiny mistake is enough to have it turn into a bloodthirsty killing machine, then why keep it as a "cute" and "fun" thing at home, around their family?
Dogs are essentially weapons, if trained right they kill at your will, so I really don't think breeds like pitbulls who have been fatal to humans again and again should be allowed. Dog "parents" always act as if owning a dog is a human right but it's not, you don't
need one - especially not a pitbull.

>>480643>>480656>>480659I’m the anon who posted the picture. For the record it was an amstaff not a pit, but whatever, same difference. Both are equally vicious.
>>480661It happened in the UK, no need to get your America hateboner on. Also the owner was found and identified but likely won’t get punished because the wiener dog that got killed was off lead. And while I kinda have to admit the amstaff lady isn’t entirely responsible in this scenario, she made a dumb fucking decision to get a literal murder machine as a pet in the first place.
Even if the wiener ran at them barking its head off, which would piss off most dogs, it’s only pit bulls etc., whose first reaction is to attack and kill.
I’ll never understand how devoid of empathy and self-preservation instinct you’d have to be to keep this kind of creature in your home.

pit bulls are so babied there have been incidents where they maul children and people are like “Awwh well it’s cause he was a troubled puppy” or blame the child I’m sick of it, why do people go so far just to defend these literal beasts

>>481435Not that anon, and I wouldn’t shoot any kind of dog, because wtf. But the good boy is going to look like pic related in a few months, which makes it really hard for me to like pit bulls for their supposed cuteness. Breed temperament aside, they are extremely ugly dogs imo. Even when they make that “smiling” face, their eyes stay beady and soulless, like a shark’s.

We all know what happens when you force your pitbull to have a Facebook photo op with your child to try to prove how friendly your dog is. Definitely NOT risking your child from getting attacked, no siree Bob!

I hate most people who own dogs.
They are loyal, fearless creatures, man's protector, willing to give their life for yours at any second. They are dumb, but the best bodyguard you will ever have.
But some people. They should really just have cats. It's the tiny dogs that bother me.
First of all, is it even possible to train a chihuahua. They all seem like they're in the midst of a constant existential crisis.
Yorkies, if untrained, will bark forever. Endlessly. There is no escape from the barking. You want to tell the in-laws, "Hey, please stop yelling, he thinks you're barking too," but you know they wouldn't listen. It's none of your business. You casually ignore the poop on the floor, and leave with a headache.
Some dogs are assholes with teeth. I knew a doberman who tried to kill a baby. But I also knew a graceful old man yorkie, who was kind and careful with his barks. Kind of like humans. There just needs to be more awareness on how to train them.

>>288882Uh dude, I like both dogs and cats, but dogs kill other animals just as frequently if not more so than cats. They also kill people too if they're big enough. Especially pitbulls and rottweilers
When I lived in the country, a neighbor's dog broke into the chicken coop and slaughtered every last one of the chickens. Didn't even eat them, just killed em for fun. A lot of dogs would do this if left alone

>>540125>>540132>>540135They are. They'll yell about CAT PISS SMELL all day but that's very easily managed by cleaning the box and has nothing to do with the cat itself. Dogs
stink. You need to bathe them because they can't even clean themselves. Dog owners often
stink. The shed hair clings to them and there's that disgusting unwashed dog smell that lingers around them. I don't understand how they're so oblivious.

Anons this thread makes me feel validated. Most of my friends are dog people and one in specific essentially has liking dogs as a personality trait. I don't care about your coworkers dogs!!!! I can't stand the heckin good pupper uwu braindead shit that people always spew.
I'm also extra bitter because I work retail in an area full of rich white yummy mummies who bring their family dog into the store and I have to pretend to care about them and feed them a treat or my boss will yell at me. If I have to see one more golden doodle im gonna an hero they're so fucking ugly and stupid yet every rich white person seems to have one.

Literally 80% of mails with introductions from new employees of my company (completely not animal related business) is about how much this person loves dogs, their dogs and any dogs, emphasis on PLEASE SEND ME PICTURES OF DOGS. I'm not about to rain on their parade or anything, but why is it not a cringy thing to be, no idea.

We feel no resentment toward them at all, and—if anything—there’s only been an increase of love between our families as a result of this incident," said Walker.So you’re gonna put your kids at risk again because “muh relashunship” with your stupid neighbors?

>>586377Samefag, but I forgot to mention that I got attacked because of sheer neglect on the dog owners part. She also
victim blamed me because it was
triggered by me trying to pet it (not even rough housing, literally just reaching over to pet it). My grandma insisted I not tell anyone (it belonged to her friend who was babysitting me) and I didn't tell my mom for years.

I own a dog, so I don’t have them per say, but I can’t STAND how people just DONT TRAIN THEIR DOGS. My friend took over her dog before covid hit, and I let my dog be inside, because while he can come on command, he only does it when there isn’t a distraction (context: I live on the countryside so we have open area). My friend let her dog run around and they immediately started chasing the neighbours horses AND SHE DIDNT EVEN LEASH THEM AFTER THAT. I’ve spent so much time on training my dog, and even then I don’t allow him to run loose, because I can’t trust him 100%!
The worst part are the yappy designer dogs, I was waiting for the elevator while someone was waiting for it, carrying their small Pomeranian. My dog wanted to say hi, but he knows he’s not allowed to so he didn’t but this dog started barking so much, and the girl snapped at me and said “you need to take the other elevator” where 7 other people were waiting for it like bitch I have a huge dog that CANT fit there, plus even if he could I don’t know if someone would be afraid of him! You are carrying a small dog who is barking so YOU MOVE.
Sorry for rant I’m kinda drunk and mad lol

>>586815Yeah I've never met a well behaved small dog either and they never shut up even when their owners yell at them.
By contrast, bird dogs that are trained to quietly track grouse and bring the dead birds to the owner without barking, attacking or biting it are usually the nicest and calmest ones. At least when the owners take them to do that stuff.

>>618668I hate walking down a street, hearing an angry sounding dog barking and not knowing where it is exactly, if it's constrained, if it's big or small and whether it's all bark and no bite. The fear that puts in me.
Also hate living in one of those villages where people are generally good at not littering, but then when it comes to dog shit it's everywhere and on the main street it usually has tire marks in it from prams and buggies that had the pleasure of going through it.
