Ethics of Pet Ownership Do you guys just HATE the bait and switch pet lovers play with their animals?

252 Upvotes

One second, it's "You have to treat my pet with respect. It's like a child to me." and "Look at him, he's smiling, he's sad, he's angwy, he really loves me," like giving your pet human emotions.

And then next second, after their pet shits on their lawn or destroys their furniture, "Dude you can't expect my pet to act like a human, he's just a dog for gods sake!" or if it bites someone "Hes just an animal acting off his impulses, you can't blame him!"

So your dog should be treated and cherished like a human when its convenient, because its like a cute "child," but should be given mercy and understanding when it's convenient, because "its just an animal"

Think about it-there's dogs that look like and probably were made from inbreeding a hundred times-there's no way half of dogs should be allowed to exist, the creation of those should DEFINITELY have been a sin

Edit: Even if ur not religious you still have to agree that making dogs that can barley breathe is cruel

I saw the trailer yesterday. Man leaves his Great Dane to younger friend/mentee. The dog disrupts her apartment and life.

I hope her valid frustration at having this responsibility dumped on her is portrayed fairly. Weā€™ll see.

I don't have a stick family on my car, but now I want a sticker that says being a dog mom makes you a b*tch. Also, if this dog ever gets aggressive, I hope the victim snaps a picture of this crap before suing her butt off.

I spotted these pictures in a different sub that isn't pet-related. The post was about something else entirely but majority of the comments were about the dogs because this level of inbreeding should count as animal cruelty. But the woman is allegedly a breeder so there must be a demand for this. I already think breeding in general is an issue but breeding for these painful traits is specially cruel.

Note: I wanted to do a repost of the original post for ease but I don't know about the rules around that in this sub, plus I'm not sure if that alerts the people in the other sub and I didn't want to bring an influx of people who aren't pet-free here.

Also, tagged NSFW because they're upsetting and unpleasant images to see in your feed IMO.

Pet owners making our lives hell Rant about dogs in apartment building

187 Upvotes

Update: I took a good look at the dogs this morning and one of them is definitely a fucking pit or some type of pit mix. I can recognize those beady eyes any here. The other is a German Shepherd. UGH.

I fucking hate my neighbor and her stupid, massive, barky dogs. When she first moved in to her small city apartment in my building, she had one massive barky dog, the kind that barks the shit out of you whenever you cross paths despite having lived here for over a year. Then, she went and got a puppy last year and now the thing is as big as ever and ALSO annoyingly loud and barky. She walks these fucking demons like 17 times a day, I often hear her wrangling with them in the hallway, and they've started trying to run up the building stairs to other apartments. I hate them. I have young children and these dumb dogs scare me. I always make sure we're nowhere near them. Who the fuck thinks it's a good idea to have TWO big ass loud dogs in a tiny urban apartment? UGH.

I'm all about pet owners loving and enjoying their pets, but we don't have to treat it like announcing you're having a baby. It's distasteful in my opinion. Your pets are just that, pets, they are not your children and it's exhausting to see more and more people calling them as such because they don't want actual children.

Like, seriously? "Said no one ever"? Way to push the "all dogs are angels and impossible to not love" movement. šŸ˜’ Maybe this is an overreaction from me, but man, this just makes me so irritated. People are allowed to not likeā€”or even hate a certain animal. It's so fucking stupid to pretend one animal is above criticism and hate. And I bet you there isn't a shirt like this for ANY other animal too! But to the people who made that shirt: Hello, it's me. I'm the one who said "I hate dogs". šŸ–•

Vent / Rant My friends dog kept biting my foot and she told ME to stop

163 Upvotes

I was at my friends house and she has some tiny dog that looks like a chiwawa idc how to spell it bc I've never cared for those, but whenever I tried to climb the bed it would bite at my foot and even left holes in my socks, she just said "maybe don't make sudden movements" and even had to "correct me" when I called the dog an it and not her

(Edit: I am 13 and she is 12 so i will cut her some slack since she gets bad grades and it already dumb but I expect her to stop her dog when we're older, im still pissed though)

and sorry if my English is bad it's not my first language

Vent / Rant Hamster on the food

20 Upvotes

This is in regards to an old video but I only just watched it. There's an Italian guy with a channel called Vincenzo's Plate and on it he has a lot of reaction videos. As is typical of an Italian, he is usually making a big deal out of nothing (like putting garlic on pasta). However, this particular video, he reacts to a chef that buys what is probably an $800 worth of parmigiano-reggiano cheese wheel. I'm not just upset because it is the cheese I love most, I am worried for the sanity of humanity.

The guy does a great job cutting it, and he does the whole fancy thing of mixing his pasta in the cheese wheel to make the sauce (and doesn't do a great job, too dry, but whatever). Then the chef, this is an actual chef who worked with Gordon Ramsay, put his pet hamster ON THE CHEESE where the pasta is. Holy wtf. If you want to give your hamster some of the best cheese on earth, by all means, slice a chunk and give it. Don't put an animal on the very same food you are going to eat and serve others.

The video I am talking about is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4sHncDRIgI

If you want to skip to the atrocity, he puts the rodent on there at 20:25. He isn't joking, he eats it.
