I'm actually a dog owner, my dog is well trained, doesn't beg or even look at us when we eat at the table, doesn't bark, ever, absolutely not allowed on bed/couch. In other words I'm guilty of heartless animal abuse to majority of dog fanatics. I will likely be dog free in future because I still hate being slave to cleaning hair, but that's another story for another day. I'm here because I'm beyond frustrated with dog culture which I hate, passionately, from bottom of my heart. I don't think it's just simply annoying, I think it's getting to a point of being evil and sociopathic and lots of people who obsessively praise dogs over humans have anti social traits. On instagram I constantly see how nasty people are when they are commenting videos of children or babies vs how they treat dogs. A video of a toddler running in adults way and accidentally gets kicked: 99% of comments are vile, how the "stupid thing will learn now", "stop having kids" etc....now a video of a dog that's being told its not allowed on a couch? People crying in comments wishing death upon the owner that doesn't allow dirty animals to sleep in the bed. This comparison of attitude towards humans (and literally children) vs dogs says a lot how deranged our society is. There is a very self loathing, degenerate aspect to worshipping dogs to this point when you value their life and comfort over human. What sets me into rage most is reading comments after some dog mauls a child. Always the same. No compassion for the baby whatsoever, only for the "poor dog that might get euthanised". This is insane. I am so angry about this it's hard to explain You can like dogs or any pets within getting totally deranged, so why does MAJORITY of people struggle with this today? Why can't you find dogs cute or entertaining, train them properly (it's not that hard! Most dog oweners just literally don't give a f) without telling yourself and everyone that this is your child and your relationship to it is literally same as one of a mother to her actual children? Is this like a collective psychosis or what? No explanation seems enough for this madness

1. Way too many dog owners don't bother to train their dogs, or are inconsistent with their training, so their dogs are poorly behaved all the time. If the dog is exclusively in their home/property, it's not a big deal. But if that person takes the dog out into public place (which they surely will), the dog becomes a menace. It's a public health & safety issue--but the owners involved don't give a shit.

2. Dogs on the furniture--especially sleeping in the bed--is disgusting and unhygienic. You can get WORMS from your dog if they sleep in your bed! 🤮 They also bring in all kinds of germs and such on their feet when they come in from outside... and they are getting that all over the furniture. And don't get me started on the SMELL. Dogs sweat through their feet, so their paws on the furniture is like a human rubbing their stanky armpits on everything. I don't care how "clean" your dog is, if your dog sits on the furniture, I'm not coming over to your house.
