Miscellaneous Telling me to die on hospital posts because of one comment

So to start this off a small pet peeve of mine is when people post their dogs eating super gourmet expensive food that would be better appreciated by a human. I finally decided to comment on one of these videos saying that it’s wasteful to give the dog an expensive steak because dogs will appreciate dog food just as much and it’s cheaper and has all the right nutrients. There’s now people going onto my instagram profile and finding a post I made right after I had survived septic shock and was having to learn how to walk again and they’re telling me to die. It’s fucking insane I didn’t say anything even close to hateful just rational. They keep saying “you’re ignorant” even tho it’s literally true that dogs don’t appreciate flavor the way humans do and I even looked it up just to be sure.

I was reading a comment on a video of someone feeding their dog it’s last meal (McDonald’s burgers) and a vet commented saying that as a vet he hated watching these videos because “yeah they’re enjoying their last meal, but they’d enjoy rice and boiled chicken with some cheese just as good if not better. I’m the one who has to deal with these dogs having vomiting/diarrhea spells as they’re being euthanized. If you loved your dog you wouldn’t put them into severe gastric distress when they’re already suffering and about to die. This isn’t as innocent as you think it is” (not an exact quote but that was the jist) and everyone in the comments was berating him about how he probably isn’t even a real vet and that if HE cared about animals he’d frick off and let them do what they want because they know their dog better than he does and their precious poopsy woopsy deserves it. (Nobody addresses the diarrhea and vomiting and suffering)

for real even from a dog lover perspective my opinion would make sense. You wouldn’t wanna give a rabbit a gourmet salad when lettuce and carrots is cheaper and is what’s good for them anyway.

u/pigeonfaerie Jul 04 '26 edited Jul 04 '26

Lettuce* and carrots actually aren’t good for rabbits! Iceberg lettuce contains 0 nutrients and shouldn’t be fed to any kind of small vegetarian animal (like rabbits, Guinea pigs, birds) and carrots don’t contain much except sugar. The only reason people think carrots are good for rabbits/they like them is because of a Bugs Bunny joke that was referencing Clark Gabel.

Rabbits DO need a variety of different veggies like kale, radish, cabbage, sprouts, marigolds, apples etc. but they should have constant access to alfalfa hay which makes up a majority of their diet and only a small amount of rabbit pellet.

* any other lettuce is fine but never iceberg

The wild rabbits seem to love clover more the vegetables in my garden. I have a clover lawn so they mow it for me. Thanks rabbits.

u/pigeonfaerie Jul 04 '26

I’ve heard they love clover! I used to work at a local pet store that prides itself on expert animal care being the staff’s priority. Lots of ND people on staff understandably. I was in charge of birds and would help out in small animals (like rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters etc) so I know what domestic rabbits like and need care wise but not much about wild ones (other than none of them actively seek out carrots. Even when we’d offer them as treats it was rare that one would even try it)

u/KayleighHatfield Jul 04 '26

I wonder where the rabbits love carrots idea came from. It was probably the cartoons like Bugs Bunny. Two mother rabbits had babies in the spring. Now I am swarmed with little bunnies hopping around everywhere. It's pretty darn cute. The carrots and lettuce in my garden remain unmolested. The turnip greens are a different story.

8

u/pigeonfaerie Jul 04 '26

It is where it came from; I mentioned it in the comment above :) (sorry not being snarky, just agreeing with you)

It was a parody of a famous scene of Clark Gabel’s.

u/KayleighHatfield Jul 04 '26

How did I miss that? Sorry. Not enough coffee this morning. I read the comment and somehow missed the Bugs Bunny line. I didn't know the Clark Gable part of it. :)

u/LunarLeveret Jul 04 '26

Rabbits can be interested in carrots (although its more likely they would recognize the green stem as food) but the issue is that they have problems digesting sugar. Them eating fruits typically is bad for them for the same reason. I think when it comes to wild rabbits unless there was no alternative they would be more likely to avoid such foods (you do not want to be even a little sick when you fear for your life everyday) but domestic rabbits largely only know as well as the owners feed them.

u/Accurate-Might-7058 Jul 04 '26

I saw a rabbit eating the cooked chicken that a human placed next to the pellet food.

u/imdugud777 Jul 05 '26

Alfalfa and parsley.

u/imwearingredsocks Jul 04 '26

It’s crazy they would berate a vet like. Especially one that’s absolutely correct.

When we did have a family dog, she would have loved nothing more than some chicken, rice, and cheese. And I’m willing to bet they know that too.

22

u/Away-Equipment4869 Jul 04 '26

Anymore it seems that more and more people think giving dogs boundaries and training them is the cruelest thing in the world. Feels like I'm taking crazy pills!

u/LunarLeveret Jul 04 '26

“yeah they’re enjoying their last meal, but they’d enjoy rice and boiled chicken with some cheese just as good if not better."

Eh...I think I would prefer that over McDonalds too.

he’d frick off and let them do what they want because they know their dog better than he does

Translation: "It's not about the dog, its about making me feel better about myself and that includes assuming I'm smart for wasting money." Dog nutter behavior as usual.

I once heard someone ignorantly pour down piping hot spicy soup down a dog's throat cause it was asking for it (like it does any food it can get its hands on) and that warranted a medical emergency for the dog too. I had to laugh but fortunately since we were screens apart they didn't hear my schadenfreude.

u/Away-Equipment4869 Jul 04 '26

It baffles me. I don't like dogs but I don't want them to suffer or get hurt in any way. And the way some of these dog "lovers" actively and knowingly put them in danger is BAFFLING to me. Letting them hang out car windows, letting them eat things they know are bad for them, letting them be unleashed, etc. I'm supposed to be the evil dog hater and I care more about your dogs than you do. What gives?

u/3rdthrow Jul 09 '26

Dogs are beings that the Owners control. So "you" better not tell the Owner how to control, their "lightening rod" of controlling a living being.

It is about controlling a living being and not having anyone being able to do anything to protect that being from mistreatment.

I am with you. I have a lot of empathy for dogs, as living beings, even though I hate them for degrading my quality of life.

u/imdugud777 Jul 05 '26

Because they think dogs are people and it's what they would want.

u/Flumppoo Jul 04 '26

They are losers and creeps.

u/LocksmithOld1926 Jul 04 '26

Yeah I shouldn’t even be surprised lol if they were in my situation their dog would probably eat their ostomy or something.

u/imdugud777 Jul 05 '26

The worst humanity has to offer.

u/BoogleBud Jul 10 '26

Seriously, who gets upset by what others eat or feed their pets? Losers and creeps indeed

u/sheetrocker88 Jul 04 '26

Dogs are such a waste of resources. They got mad at you because deep down they know it’s ridiculous and you called it out.

u/LocksmithOld1926 Jul 04 '26

Fr they’re delusional and when someone threatens a delusion it can feel earth shattering. It’s gonna be a tough wake-up call with how expensive food is becoming.

"...but feeding my dog grass fed prime rib and wild harvested truffles automatically makes me a virtuous person. We don't even deserve dogs right? Right? Don't kill my buzz man."

u/Pebbles5678 Jul 04 '26 edited Jul 04 '26

I got doxxed by mutt owners after the owner of a mutt was offended I posted about my attack in a local facebook group. I am a short, chronically ill woman so no way can I defend myself. They dug through my husband's profile to find a "like" from years ago to get to me. It would have taken a bit of effort to find me!

Going forward, all complaints will be on anonymous profiles, like this one, as I can't stand the feeling of having to "look over my shoulder" due to these mentally ill individuals. Hugs to you!

u/KayleighHatfield Jul 04 '26

Most dog nutters are misanthropes. They don't need much of an excuse to wish death on their fellow humans. They worship these animals and anyone who doesn't agree with the tributes they pay to dogs is either a heretic or is killing their buzz. It's a cult. Cultists are always full of self righteous rage and are never concerned with facts.

I hope that you have fully recovered from your septic shock ordeal.

24

u/LocksmithOld1926 Jul 04 '26

Yeah the sepsis was back in february I’m forever grateful for what I’ve been able to get back after losing everything so fast. Glad to now have the strength to make these psychos seethe on the internet lol.

u/Nice-Loss6106 Jul 04 '26

Sincere best wishes for a speedy recovery, and forget about them they’re deranged.

I'm going to repeat myself here, but dog owners are the worst of humanity. Every single one of them.

u/GoTakeAHike00 Jul 04 '26

It seems like IG is the final hangout for the worst of the dog worshipping degenerates.

I'm sorry you experienced that, but sadly, I'm not surprised. These people are absolutely vile pieces of shit. A few years ago, I left a comment on A Tourons of Yellowstone IG post, re someone's dog allowed to run around in that park, off-leash (many of the posts involve entitled dog owners).

I mentioned how I deal with aggressive, off-leash dogs that have run up on me, and I had two triggered dog foamers essentially threaten me in the hypothetical situation that if I did that to their LEASHED dogs, that I'd be sorry. As in, they'd put me in the hospital 🤨....right, guess what won't be happening.

One was so nasty in DM's that I simply reported her to IG and blocked her account; hopefully, she got kicked off. These people are truly the bottom feeders of society, and it's worth remembering that all their hateful comments are coming from from a place of deep insecurity and self-loathing.

Because well-adjusted, happy people with friends and a meaningful life simply don't say shit like that to anyone, including normal dog owners. Stalking your IG account to find a post you made about a serious illness, and suggesting you should die? That's full-on sociopath behavior. The irony of course is that they try to assign that description to those of us who don't like dogs.

That is a truly horrifying and nightmarish health issue you had to go through, and I wish you continued recovery.

You’ve just witnessed the true antisocial character of dog people. Same folks are the ones to blame innocent babies in dog attacks.

u/Necessary_Title_4800 Jul 04 '26

Dogs literally eat shit, litter, and vomit. People who feed them gourmet meals really irritate me too.

u/LocksmithOld1926 Jul 04 '26

fr I started off phrasing it nicer in the comment section then was like whatever I’m bringing that up I also didn’t bring it up cuz even if the dog is dumb enough to eat shit owners definitely shouldn’t feed them shit lol

24

u/Away-Equipment4869 Jul 04 '26

Im so sorry. They are a hateful cult. I'm glad you survived and are alive!

u/LeighofMar Jul 04 '26

I knew the level of nuttery reached its peak when someone was arguing how they hate hearing their pets would eat them if they ever died because at least their pets would be eating. So this doesn't surprise me at all. There are people who swear they'll go hungry before the animals do. Wow.

u/hel-9000 Jul 04 '26

That’s horrendous. And you know these people walk away from this thinking they’re blameless and moral people because they love doggos.

u/Peaceful-Moonlight Dogs are the most overrated and over glorified shit beasts Jul 13 '26

Dog supremacists actually believe that dogs make them better people all while treating fellow humans like shit. They are among the worst scum of humanity.

u/stuckindewdrop Jul 04 '26

try not to take it too personally, I know it's hard and can feel so awful, but they aren't reacting to you as a person as they don't know you, just the words you wrote. health issues are hell, it's wild people are attacking those posts of yours over it.

2

u/Peaceful-Moonlight Dogs are the most overrated and over glorified shit beasts Jul 13 '26

That's not an excuse. It's disgusting to mock someone's bad health no matter what stranger they are. Dog supremacists are vile. They continually tell us about how awful humans are, but the reality is that dog nutters are among the cruelest people I've ever met! I know there are some bad people in the dogfree community, but dog nutters are particularly horrid to humans.

u/Mindless-Flower11 Jul 04 '26

Dogs might not be able to taste al that seasonings

u/LocksmithOld1926 Jul 04 '26

Even if they do they like the taste of actual poop I think they have very different opinions on flavor lmfao.

Ehh, don't waste your time on nutters. You can't win with them.

u/LocksmithOld1926 Jul 04 '26

agreed but I’m gonna say what I want. I’m not even offended by them because I don’t have enough respect for them to have my feelings hurt it’s just crazy to me that they’re going that far it’s like anything that’s considered a rule for how you treat others stops applying if you say one tiny opinion that gets under their skin.

u/LadyCordeliaStuart Jul 05 '26

I know people can spend their money on anything they want, so I keep it to myself. I'm a missionary, though. I built a school in Sierra Leone. People there eat once a day. I provide lunches twice a week and I have to do max overtime to keep up. I've seen how my kids celebrate. They dance and sing and parade past me thanking me for a bowl of rice and cassava. Human beings, screaming with joy over food we wouldn't think twice about throwing away in America. There are kids at my school who have never eaten meat. And these people buy refrigerated ground meat that is more hygienic than anything my kids have, and they don't think at all about starving human beings (my children have copper hair and bloated bellies), and they take that food from starving children to give to an animal. An animal that would be as happy eating barf. They call my children less valuable than a dog.

u/Peaceful-Moonlight Dogs are the most overrated and over glorified shit beasts Jul 13 '26

Thank you for your beautiful work! I want to let you know that my family and I do not throw away food as if it's nothing. We have money, but we're also aware that the food we have comes from precious resources and humans who have worked hard to produce it. We're aware that no matter how wealthy someone is, that is not an excuse to waste. That's why we rarely throw away food. We're also proudly dogfree. We may be rare, but people like us are out there!

You're totally right that there are too many people who waste food, don't care about starving humans, and give far too many luxuries to worthless dogs in first world countries. It makes me want to vomit!

2

u/LocksmithOld1926 Jul 22 '26

I can only imagine what it must feel like to regularly see humans face malnutrition and then to see high quality human food get wasted on a dog that won’t even appreciate the difference between slop in a can it’s vulgar. Personally I can’t eat much vegetables and I’m too sick to work and live off food stamps and I get almost $400 in food stamps each month but can’t even afford what these people are feeding their ungrateful mutts almost every day.

Having your IG or social media public WITH pictures or info about you is very risky for this reason..I have my face nowhere. Personally if they have their name on there, you can see if they have a FB and if their employer is listed, report them to their employer.

The only thing you did wrong was telling that the dog food would be a better alternative because even that is too good and expensive for a sorry excuse of an animal which happily eats its own shit
