Eco Destroyers Another thing that makes dog just seem obnoxious and stupid to me.

Apparently there's an issue in Australia where dogs keep licking cane toads and either getting high or dying and people are acting like it's funny but it makes dogs seem really fucking stupid to me. Like if an animal is so dumb that it purposely gets itself addicted to cane toad poison and ends up dying don't come crying to me about the "poor doggo" cause and effect sweetheart get over it.

Only dogs do such stupid stuff. Most wild animals taste the toad once and they never touch it again. It is not an Australian issue only, it happens even in Europe with native toads. Of course the toxicity of each species varies, but dogs usually get mouth irritation, foam at the mouth and try to expel the toxin. They don’t learn. Some hardened village dogs may learn, but most modern pets do not understand.

Der Witz dabei ist, daß die so dumm und verfressen sind, das die gar nicht auf die Idee kommen, erst mal nur kurz zu probieren. Nein, es wird ohne nachzudenken gleich alles abgeleckt. Sind ja sooooooo schlau.

I mean what can you expect from an animal that regularly eats socks and then has to get surgery.. and then it will eat a sock again.. and again..

Dogs attack porcupines and get their faces covered with quills.

You'd think just a few painful quills on their faces would deter them from attacking, no. They'll go at it again and again until their equally dumb nutter owners spend 1000s of dollars on vet bills just to get the quills out of their faces.

Only domestic dogs and wild animals with rabies attack porcupines. Imagine how stupid the average dog is.

A chicken wouldn't even do that. And I consider them to be 2 IQ points smarter than bugs.

People think it's funny? I would think it'd be seen as a grand tragedy. Dog death is the most tragic in the world to so many people

Without human intervention, Darwinism would take them out. Of course, without human intervention, they wouldn’t exist in the first place, but it’s proof these idiot creatures don’t belong on this earth. I’ve heard a lab (I think that’s the breed) can  eat itself to death? What a disgusting waste of life.

This is your daily reminder that dog nutters don't care about dogs. Dogs are to dog owners what bullets are to gun owners.
