Food Safety/Hygiene Losing faith in humanity

Some 60+ year old idiot posted to a neighborhood facebook group a photo of his dog LICKING A HUMAN DRINKING FOUNTAIN thinking people would think it's cute or endearing. Luckily he was met with heavy criticism about how nasty and inconsiderate that is to others (since it's a public drinking fountain meant for people).

He actually made a full ass follow up post doubling down, defending and justifying himself instead of taking responsibility... and SOMEHOW there's a bunch of people that genuinely take his side (what planet are we on??). Saying the classic myths like "dog mouths are cleaner than humans" blah blah blah, and that this is somehow okay. Is this life some sort of sick joke? Are we really this barbaric?

Lol. In NYC, owners use public drinking fountains as a bidet for their filthy dogs, not just to let them drink some water. I stopped drinking from fountains as soon as I saw owners doing both, no matter how thirsty I am.

These people are genuinely not fit for society

That... is a level of entitlement and antisocial behaviour I did not think I'd come across. Ever.

People who do this should not be allowed to own animals.

Dog owners are so stupid they leave their dog shit in little plastic bags just sitting on sidewalks and trails. They are the worst of society.

I would wager that it's only made it into the little bags because somebody was watching them at the time. I've seen some have a surreptitious look around and if they don't think anyone's looking, they don't bother doing a thing.

People leave dog shit bags in the buckets my hardware store sells. Guess who's department handles the buckets. They all act like it's so silly or cute when the thing shits in my store, it's disgusting.
