O/T:- Dogs

[andy6025]

And yet, without them maybe you wouldn't exist!

Not sure what you mean there, but I’ll guess that you’re suggesting that the birth and survival of civilization is/was dependent on dogs. While I won’t deny that dogs were at one time useful (and still are in some minor capacities), I’ll leave it to you to *prove* that they were *necessary* for the neolithic. I’d also challenge you to prove that humans (and/or dogs) would have gone extinct without the neolithic itself. Besides, even if dogs did help guard the food supply in that transformative time, we’re a long way from needing them in our small houses and apartments in our modern industrialized setting.

People who actively dislike dogs are usually weird, it's certainly no surprise that you're one.

These two fall under the same category of dog-owner-nuttery - that there’s something wrong with people that don’t like dogs, and it’s usually followed by the completely batty idea that somehow dogs are the ultimate judges of decent character. Well here’s a paradox for you - Hitler was dog owner to 3 German Shepherds. Was he weird? Of course he was. Was he trustworthy? Ask Neville. Did his dogs know that he was a cnut? No, of course not. They are idiot dogs and have no magical abilities to know good people from bad.

I think navy pie would really like the alsation that nearly bit my hand off a few years back😁

Spot on. And don’t get me started on idiots that get pit bulls. They’re fecking land sharks. Gotta have rocks in your head to take on such a dangerous liability.

Then surely it's the owners who are awful...

Given that I said that the vast majority of dogs are not properly trained, it follows that the vast majority of dogs owners are a problem- when it comes to dog ownership. They can be great people in other respects, so I’m not so dumb as to think that by (lack of) virtue of owning dogs they are bad people- as some other simpletons throw about to those that don’t like dogs. But at this point does it matter? The dogs are a nuisance. The owners are oblivious to its problems and get upset if you don’t fawn over their pupper doggo good boies (they even invented an obnoxious language). Are dogs truly noble at heart if only uncorrupted by bad owners? Go meet some wild dogs and see if that answers the question.

Yeah why would anyone want a loyal friend who loves you no matter what you've got in your life, who makes you a better person, gives you exercise, doesn't back stab you or **** you over for money or their base needs, who can sense illness and give blind people a life. Rather a dog than a human any day of the week for me.

Right, and they said i was the one with the personality disorder. If your social skills and self esteem are so lacking that you need this magically loyal beast to feel love, then I truly feel sorry for you. Perhaps we should blame your owners, I mean parents. And I hate to break it to you - the dog doesn’t love you. It loves the food that you give it.

I despise any animal cruelty !

Agreed. I also despise animal cruelty. However, unless one is vegan, and i am not, then we fall foul of our own rule (no pun intended). Sure China has a poor reputation for the treatment of its meat supply, but that goes for all its meat. But I don’t see why we should discriminate between dogs, pigs, cows, chickens, cats, etc.
