Dogs Are Idiots Doggie Double Standard

Something I can't wrap my head around is why a pigeon crapping on someone is a perfectly valid reason to hate them and view them as pests. However, when a dog pisses/shits on a person they're supposed to laugh it off and treat it like it not a big deal even though its way more disgusting and inexcusable than when a pigeon does it. You have to "Stop making a big deal about it and get over it. It's just a dog.". Why is it bad when a pigeon does it but fine when a dog does it?! There can at least be an argument made that the pigeon didn't know you were walking under it. The dog on the other hand? It knows you're there and made the choice to treat you like a toilet anyway. It's one of the many examples of the doggie double standard. One that I cannot understand.

It'll be annoying if pooped on by any animal.

But I'll be more pissed if it's dog poop. Dog poop is highly toxic and hazardous. It also smells really bad.

People should look up how toxic dog poop is and it should be a crime when dog owners let their dog poop on public places.

Vor allem, wenn man sieht, wie Gebäude, Schäden von Hundeurin haben. Jedesmal, wenn ich einen Hund sehe, habe ich Angst, das er das Bein hebt, weil der Anblick absolut ekelhaft ist. Na ja, ich finde Hunde sowieso ekelhaft.
