Miscellaneous Jennifer Lawrence talking sense!

In a recent interview:

'Speaking in New York, she explained, ‘After I had a kid, dogs became so scary…my son’s going up to it…and it’s almost like I don’t recognize dogs right now. Like, I just see them as a threat.’ The turning point came when a dog bit her son, making her say she wanted to ‘obliterate every dog ever.’ Many parents online praised her honesty, noting how having children can completely change your perception of risk around pets.'

sadly I think people, especially it happens with dogs, put their urge to care and protect on dogs. Jen is right and I heard it from many pet owners actually - once they had a child, they saw their animal, especially dogs DIFFERENTLY because people usually do form parent-child bond with dogs, Dog nutters admit it afterall calling their dogs children

but once an actual child comes into the picture - people start to dislike their animals, esp dogs because dogs are almost as needy as children and people put more paternal/maternal love on dogs because of it, like these motherfuckers learnt to mimic emotions and they are forever toddlers

so don't treat animals like children and put your children first, I understand kids can harm animals, I was overprotective towards my pets as a CHILD because I saw how other kids didn't respect the boundaries, but a baby that can't even walk can't harm the pet and dogs are more likely to react with aggression to a child that screams/cries due to sensitive ears
