Kind of like I like to kill turkeys and my family is cool with that, but I'm pretty sure they would be upset if a turkey killed me.

I don't think dogs have the same murder rate amongst themselves.

Animals in general, and specifically dogs, especially my dogs, are innocent of any malice, hate, shittiness, or trashiness exhibited by most humans.

I had to venture in to a Walmart today for the first time in a long time. I was reminded of the filth and idiocy that is a large segment of the human race.

I can't even hardly watch nature shows anymore due to the soft spot I have for animals.

But videos like the thug getting his arm shot by the old gu with the shotgun, that shite warms my heart like little else.

I'm sorry the truth has touched a nerve for you.

Your doggo may seem very loving and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, or loving them. But the fact is if you disappeared tomorrow your doggo would be just as loyal with the next food provider after a short transitionary period.

Deal with it.

Most people do the exact same thing when another human they love dies.

Sorry you suck at human relationships.

You are stating human value is higher than animal value which is the opposite of what some think on here. I agree with you though.

If your dog sees a bird’s nest he will go over there and kill every baby chick in the nest without thinking twice. Why don’t the chicks deserve love and protection? They are animals just like a dog and a cat. Why can they be slaughtered by a stupid dog and nobody even give it a second thought.

Spoiler alert: If you are an a-hole, your dog will be an a-hole.

You sound as though you have experience in this.

Bingo. No bullshite, they just want to be around you.

Unless it’s a cat


I have two cats. One of them is in my lap every single night, without invitation. Cats are affectionate, and it has nothing to do with food.

Dogs and cats have been domesticated for thousands of years. Most dogs are not equipped to survive in the wild. Most will work for their keep. Mine works security, and also helps me get exercise.

In all fairness there are some real scumbags in this world that are a waste of oxygen and space.

Do I care more about my wife and daughter than my dog? Absolutely!

Do I care more about my dog than I do some criminal that attacks innocent people or chooses to drink, drive and kill due to an accident? You better believe it.

There are many humans i would gladly let die before my pets. Many.


The people I have heard say things like this are the most socially awkward people I have ever met. They are not married and do not have kids frankly because they are so terrible at human relationships. So they try to duplicate this missing human love with having a pet and calling their pet their family when the truth is the pet would like anybody who feeds it.
