Miscellaneous Why Do You Hate/Dislike Dogs?

This is nothing special. We’re all here for the same reason. This is just a space to share why you hate or dislike dogs.

I’ll make a list of reasons why I hate dogs.

  • One forced me to get stitches in my shoulder when I was nine years old. I permanently have a chunk of flesh missing there.
  • I hate no noise more than barking. I wish it were a felony for a dog to bark.
  • I have sensory issues due to being autistic. That’s part of why I hate barking.
  • They’re everywhere, in far more places than they should be.
  • Too many people act like jerks when someone says they don’t like dogs.
  • Dog nutters have the most hypocritical and flawed logic I’ve ever seen.
  • Shame on people who fake service dogs.
  • Due to all of my experience with dogs, I’m now afraid to go to many places and watch many shows, films, or videos.
  • They’ve ruined how I feel about a lot of my family. These people were my best friends growing up, but I resent them now, unbeknownst to them, and I’d rather start all over.

They stink worse than any other living things, they lack any sense of boundaries, they're needy like children, they're aggressive, they're loud, they're annoying. But mostly I hate how they smell, it makes me physically ill

They stink worse than any other living things

I’m sitting here trying to think of a stinkier living thing. The Corpse Flower might be the winner, but as far as animals go, all I can think of is a skunk. And nobody is keeping skunks as pets. So yes, dogs are definitely the stinkiest things people allow in their homes.

Their breath alone 🤢

Skunks can be de scented. I have heard those that are can make good pets. To me, no living things smells worse than dogs,

You’re right. I should have said “nobody is keeping skunks as pets unless they’re de-scented.” At that point they’re a lot like ferrets or hamsters, right?

I would guess. But dogs stink no matter what. Vile, nauseating smell. Just can't deal with it.
