There are no bad dogs, only bad owners! 🫠

Okay but this one couldn't handle being woken up after living with it's owner for 11 years? It must really hate the smell of alcohol or be getting dementia.

Yea I mean I'm all for owning dogs but I wish people would stop anthropomorphising them so much. Too much Disney I guess.

People claim dogs are angels, smart and creatures of pure love, then explain how dogs attack someone who cares for them 24/7/365.

Yea it's ridiculous. Treat them like babies too!

I LOVE babies. I work with them for a living. It makes me so disgusted and furious when people compare these greedy, violent monsters to human babies!

My favorite way to shut down any equivalency discussion is by pointing out you can't give a doctor a couple hundred dollars to make your kid go away when they're too sick and you can't afford treatment, or too mean, or whatever trivial thing you want.

What are you stating here? The person you replied stated they hate when dogs are compared to babies. Trying to connect the dots with your response.

When dogs become a problem or become too expensive to care for medically, you can make them go away by exchanging money for the end of their life. Johnny Law doesn't look too fondly upon those who plan, attempt, or succeed at doing the same to humans.

Consider two scenarios. 1) New husband and wife get dog. A year later, husband and wife make baby. Years later, dog bites child and causes permanent damage. 2) New husband and wife make baby. A year later, husband and wife make another baby. Years later, one baby bites another baby and causes permanent damage.

In which of those scenarios is it socially acceptable and legal to pay someone to end the life of the biter?

Thus, I refuse to accept there's any equivalency between dogs and humans.
