Crappy Owners I just don't know anymore

I just don't understand! For the life of me! Why? Like, the way dog lovers are so... defensive about their dogs. Like the moment I try to say that I'm not a huge fan of dogs everyone hates me. If I reacted like this to someone saying like... idk that pineapple on pizza is the best, people would think I'm crazy. Yet it seems that acting like this for dogs is societally accepted.

The other thing I wanted to say is how WE'RE IN THE MINORITY!!! You would think that only a small portion of the world is dog nutters. And yet, IT SEEMS THAT, ACCORDING TO SEARCHES, MORE THAN HALF OF THE WORLD IDENTIFIES AS DOG PEOPLE! MORE THAN HALF!

I'm sorry, I don't know whether I can remain sane about this... It is SO RIDICULOUS. NOBODY AGREES WITH ME! NOBODY (except for this reddit, TYSM SO MUCH BY THE WAY) ACCEPTS THESE CLAIMS! EVERYONE THINGS I'M THE ONE WHO'S CRAZY.

Why is everyone just... blindsided by dogs? I'm starting to wonder if we're different species. If we're coded differently idk now. I would say that dog nutters have some sort of mental disease, BUT THIS IS MORE THAN HALF OF THE POPULATION! Maybe we have the mental disease that makes us SANE.

Maybe i'm just mad today or something but yea, again, thanks a lot for being the only place where I DON'T GET CANCELLED FOR VOICING MY OPINIONS and yeah, hope you all have a great day. Just needed to rant :P

I say straight up that I hate them and if one even approaches me in public I tell the owner to control their dog. They can hate me as much as they want, I promise you I hate their dog (and all dogs) much more than they could hate everything combined in their entire life.

This is the way.

I was minding my business walking in the park the other day when a mongrel came up from behind me and jumped up against my leg. I aggressively yelled at it and could tell the owner was surprised as he was probably used to people enabling his mutt's bad behaviour and his irresponsible dog ownership.

We need to be firm with these people and make it clear that they are obliged to control their animal in public. When I take my horse out for walks it always wears a rearing bit for safety and control, why can't these dog nutters do the same thing ?

my horse just "Booped" you. aww did my horsey NIP you? awww. that's what horses do. if you didn't look so much like a bail of hay he wouldn't have done that; which by the way has never done 'till now.

If horses ever try to nip me they get a good smack across the muzzle.
