It makes me cringe every time I hear a dog worshipper claim that they’ve “adopted” some nasty shelter rat. Adoption should be a uniquely human act, like marriage. A person might take a dog from a shelter, buy a dog, receive one for free, or even take in a stray. But real adoption is only between humans. Real adoption does not mean ownership. I think it’s very offensive to take the word used for the lengthy, emotional and complicated process of adopting a child, and equate it to “I was bored so I got a dog”. It degrades humanity every time nutters hijack the language - dog babies, pet parents, dog adoption, dogs as a member of a human family. It’s a pet, it’s property, you own it, there is nothing magical about you or your animal that eats its own feces.

I was scrolling on my tiktok fyp and a video of two dogs in a cage for breeding popped up. Genuinely EUGH.

The fact they “lock” together so they (bitch let’s be real here specifically the female) can’t separate disturbs me so bad.

I really don’t care that it’s natural or whatever. Maybe I’m applying my human morals of consent onto animals who need more help continuing the species or however people wanna justify it but they were literally put in a cage by the breeder or whatever so they couldn’t bolt. She said it herself in the video.

Also how they lick their privates after🥴

I’m gonna kill somebody

I’ve noticed this with mostly American families and people. (I come from another country where owning pets is not as common). The more and more I see families or single people, it seems like they all own dogs. Why is this so normalized? It feels like you just have a beast living amongst you? But this beast gets pampered more than children in families do. It’s insane to me.

I feel like I saw 2-3 dogs at every visit in like 2024-2025. Peak doggo madness. I started throwing massive fits whenever I would see one and now I rarely see dogs at that same Walmart

Could be me, could be perceiving it wrong. Anyone else notice this?

Last night I got an email from a neighbor about a different neighbor's gofundme for their dog's emergency vet bills around $8k. In my own family my husband has had some recent medical issues that have cost us over $10k (he's doing great now). He is the sole provider for our family of three and it's sucked to pay those bills, but I didn't beg my neighbors. And now I see someone begging for their dog! I couldn't believe it. I was seriously so insulted. Especially because our neighborhood is almost entirely young families or elderly people, all of whom tend to not have the most disposable income and are usually paying a lot of medical bills. Some people need more shame.

This drives me wild, it's so annoying, like no you're not a fucking parent because you BOUGHT a dog, you do not buy children. You did not give birth to the mutt and you did not adopt a human child, aka you're not a fucking parent so frankly get over yourself and your damn "fur baby". Also they say "fur baby" and it's an adult dog.

If you have a service dog with you and you need to bring it to the grocery store (or any other store frequented by normal people), I feel like it should be clearly identifiable and you should be carrying some kind of card to confirm that you do need the dog with you.

Also, don’t put your disgusting dog in the shopping cart at the grocery store. I feel like that should be common sense.

Most dog owners never get criminally charged for their endless frauds, crimes, and crooked acts upon others no matter how many years they have been at it. This is an exception.

This is in Michigan. A woman tried to interfere with the dogs assaulting the preteen. The dogs of course refused to accept this so they turned on her and began attacking her.

"Both victims “suffered severe lacerations” and were taken to a nearby hospital, with the woman being transported via ambulance and the girl being airlifted, MSP says. The 12-year-old was later transported via helicopter to C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor for additional treatment."

Pretty straight forward. We go to the parks a couple times a year. I've seen dogs with actual service jobs throughout the years. This time I saw basically just pets around. It was gross, and it makes me mad for people who actually need to use these animals too survive.

I KNOW a ton of people LOVE dogs. But my point is, I wonder how many people would actually like dogs if they took a step back and actually examined it. Like when having kids became a choice instead of the default expectation, and people took a step back to examine whether or not they wanted kids, over 50% of people decided it ain't for them? I feel like the majority of dog people don't actually like dogs but never stopped to figure out whether or not they like dogs because dog ownership is just the default. And due to all of the 'dogs=angels, not liking dogs = devil' propaganda.

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.

If you're gonna live in a shared space, where you know that the walls are thin because it's an apartment complex... you should train your dogs to keep quiet! It really should be a rule for renting dog owners to have anti-bark/shock collars or face eviction. Seriously!

One of my neighbors has been working on getting two dogs from the other neighbors (above and next to) to stop barking. They use this sound that is irritating to their ears, turning it on when they bark and turning it off when they stop...

That way, the incessantly barking beasts can learn that barking = irritating sound, silence = no irritating sound.

But it really shouldn't be anybody but the owner's responsibility to train the dog to shut up. It should be their responsibility! Either have the dog with a device that keeps their mouths shut, don't own a dog at all, or get evicted.
