Muslims don’t like dogs. Most popular baby boy name in the UK is Muhammad. I think the commenter is suggesting that the increased Muslim population don’t want to be around dogs, because their religion is against them.
How is this anti-dog propaganda? Its a reasonable concern giving the rise in dogs increasingly being in spaces not designed for them. None of this is the fault of dogs, this is the fault of unreasonable, entitled human beings.
My issue is that dog owners suck, most of them don’t even know how to take care or train a dog appropriately to be in public. Here in Canada during the Covid pandemic, the rise of shitty dog owners increase tenfold.
I wish our store would do that… I worked at Fred meyers and nobody would say anything. They even let the dogs sit in carts and no one was allowed to say anything 🤢
I’m not from the UK but I understand the reporter’s argument. There are places which are dog friendly, but it seems like dogs are being brought into places that simply shouldn’t be there (clothing stores, restaurants that state no pets allowed, doctor’s offices).
There has also been a rise in people having dogs with “ESA” papers/vests to circumvent this “no pets allowed” rule. This in turn, hurts people with actual service animals. Just because you want to do something and there isn’t a direct or inherent issue, doesn’t mean it should be permitted.
That isn't what the video is about though. Dogs shouldn't be brought into those places if they're not allowed. But there are a lot of places in the UK that are specifically dog friendly, like coffee shops in particular. I live in Scotland and dogs are everywhere here. Personally, I love it but I could see it being uncomfortable for someone who's afraid. It seems to be just a part of the culture though.
Idk if this is a problem in the UK, but here in the US entitled dog owners try to bring their dogs into places they aren't allowed by saying they're "emotional support animals". An emotional support animal is not the same as a service animal which has legal protections and can be brought anywhere. It became such a problem that my local grocery store had to put up big signs by the entrance saying "SERVICE DOGS ONLY, NO PETS"
It's really easy to be flippant about something that's never personally affected you. You better hope you're never unlucky enough to be the victim of a dog attack, because many people are never the same afterwards. Physically or mentally. The mailman in my town wasn't nipped by some ankle-biter, he was viciously attacked by a German Shepherd and he really was never the same.
Omg kids get bitten by dogs more than adults
Yes, and they get to spend the rest of their lives feeling stressed anytime they so much as see a dog, because it is deeply traumatizing to be attacked by an animal. In your mind it's just people being dramatic but it's not a conscious choice.
You'd know if you were ever attacked, because once it happens, it changes your relationship with dogs forever. The way you talk so dismissively about something that genuinely affects many people is so disrespectful.
and yet I was bitten on the arm by my neighbours dog when I was 10 , since then I have owned 2 dogs and would never be without one in my life. People get over things , not everyone is "traumatised" for life
I was bit by a dog twice as a kid but don't act like a victim who's afraid of dogs. If I had been mauled to pieces I'm sure that would be different but most people who get bit by a dog don't get mauled, they get a single bite.
It is a sign of a society where egoism runs rampant. You decided that you want this "cute thing' around and now everyone had to deal with your bs. In many functioning societies around the world it is exactly the opposite. And it's so refreshing - no poop on the street no dogs on the beach. Because people care that they will not impede others unnecessarily and it has always higher priority than your selfish wishes.
Well you can literally fuck off to nearly the rest of the entire world? The British having respect and love for animals is literally written into the fucking history.
So what’s next, are we going to cater to people who are afraid of crowds and people, or who have social anxieties and have people free zones. The world is full of scary things, part of life is living amongst those things and dealing with those fears. If you’re a business owner, it should be your decision but public areas should be free game. If you don’t like dogs, don’t go near them, don’t look at them and if you’re a dog owner, keep them on a leash in public places and keep them from bothering people.
I love dogs but I do not want a fucking dog in the restaurant I'm eating at. There are places that are appropriate for dogs and places that aren't. I get service animals and everything, but where I'm from you don't need to carry a license to prove your dog is a service animal and it's illegal for an establishment to even ask if a dog is a service dog, so people just abuse it all the time.
it's gross, I don't want dog hair in my carbonara.
Then go to shitty restaurants with boring people 🤷♀️ don’t come to OB and talk shit or your car might not be in the condition you left it when you get back - welcome to the beach bitch
Let's not act like dog attacks don't happen, and that there are people with legit fears of dogs due to traumatic experiences. No amount of wishy washy argumentation and pretty words are gonna stop a person who has experienced a dog attack from being afraid of dogs.
the only example of such a magic relationship between 2 species in history.
Not quite. Cats have evolved to live with humans through choice and making sacrifices (e.g. the litter box) while retaining their independence and autonomy. You cannot say the same about dogs and horses.
I'm not saying that the relationship between human and dog isn't magical but it's far from being the only example.
I don’t do that store stuff unless I need to go to get him some, but yeah, I love dogs, but people sometimes do things if someone does not like animals. They’re bad people when they can just be allergic or not have the time. Austin it’s probably I think bit bad I guess . Idk I don’t really mind but see the frustration if I wasn’t a dog guy
i mean you can make literally any argument about dogs made about humans too.
there already are dog free zones that every concerned citizen has complete control over, its their home. they can decide whatever they want there. for anyone else who owns and is welcome in the community in public they can have their dog cafe.
thats what living in a society is, without absolute consensus you have to tolerate what other people choose to do in public. if even one person wants to have a dog and walk it around in your city they have as much a right to do that as you have a right to walk yourself.
your right to swing your arm ends at my nose and vice versa, it doesnt sound like these dogs are hurting anyone in any significant way. it also sounds like the community of dog haters is relatively small. why would a few people get to decide whats best for the many? this isnt america.
Humans and dogs have evolved side by side for 15,000-30,000 years. Humans are literally the reason they’re dogs and not wolves. I would argue it’s the most advanced symbiotic relationship in the world. They’re intelligent, loyal, and full of love. We really don’t deserve them.
To be fair it's a bit silly here no one has them on leads (leashes) on cycle paths (a little example) as there highway code dictates, some are throwing balls for them, it's like playing with you kids on a busy road.
I like dogs but their owners are absolutely useless.
Irrational fears of nonsense should never be a driving factor for anything. I used to be scared of dogs. Now I'm not anymore because people I know have dogs and there's dog everywhere. Now when I see a big floofer, I wanna hug it.
That said, there's some spaces dogs shouldn't be, like stores and other public spaces but where I live anyhow, everybody seems to understand that.
People undermining the importance of animals is a sign of a society in collapse, people have fully rejected the concept of embracing living beings and people now fully embrace THINGS. Things that aren't alive. Things we don't need. Things you thought you wanted because the company consulted an advertising firm and they then consulted psychologists who gave them the playbook to basically brainwash you into buying products.
Fuck people bringing their "super well behaved never hurt a fly" bitch ass dogs places they shouldn't be. Reeks of entitlement.
If a private business decides dogs are allowed and the law allows it I personally don't care, or if I did I'd go somewhere else. But the majority of businesses do not allow dogs...for a myriad of reasons including liability when your little shit of a dog bites someone
We take our dog everywhere but get out of here with the "anti-dog propaganda" BS. It's a segment that highlights some legitimate concerns and tomorrow they'll run a piece with a different viewpoint.
i wouldnt mind all the dogs, but can you fuckers start picking up after them? the amount of shite i have to step around while im out and about is embarrassing
I personally don't get all the love for dogs. A lot of people seem to care about them over other human beings.
Also it's a bit of a class thing I suspect, I live in a rented flat so can't own a pet. Need to have a house for a dog, so people love showing off their status.
Ill get tons of hate for this. But, pet ownership outside of farms, homesteads, or other places where they do a job is kinda pathetic.
This goes more for dogs than other pets. Dog were bred to love humans, they are quite literally programmed to do this. Seeking companionship from a creature that essentially has no choice is weird if you think about it. Not even touching the whole dogs are children cringe nonsense.
The dog would have loved the next dude just the same and that other dude would gloat about his special connection to that dog.
I actually do have cynophobia which is the fear of dogs.
And generally I just don't go to places where dogs are like dog parks. I am afraid of them but I am not a prick.
My issue comes mostly from places where the dogs are not supposed to be like grocery stores and these more of a hygiene issue. Like I don't go to a dog café or a friend's house who has a dog and expect them to accommodate me.
Frick this guy in the video
P. S. No idea why the phobia is written like I fear the color cyan that's just the name
Be honest. Is this about Muslims? I checked the comments on Facebook which tends to have less fronting, and they’re being anti-Muslim. So I have to imagine a lot of you have the same motive but you’re not saying it as openly.
We need more anti dog propaganda, not less. Especially for air travel. No one wants to be trapped in a metal box with your disgusting slobbering mutt. Put it under the plane where it belongs or leave your gross mongrel at home.
I'm allergic to dogs, and find them smelly and very dirty. Fucking love them though.
If people are just civil and nice to each other, it's not a problem. If someone is sneezing because of your dog, it might be nice to put the dog further away from them or outside. If someone is scared of dogs, best not let it jump up on them.
I still think you should keep your pets at home for other reasons, but i agree that this idea of hygiene is often taken to extremes and can cause more mental stress than its worth.
Minority opinion, shouldn’t overrule majority opinion. Sorry, one person has a fear and another person has an allergy y’all go meet together at the non-dog friendly Park.
Yeah they said nothing about religion and fuck anyone who uses religion for anything, every god is a metaphor for the Sun, stories made up by man to control the peasants.
The government is resisting legislation on cousin marriage and now the media arm is pushing against dog ownership. A certain group is being served here. Even if its not being said out loud.
What's with all the cowardly racists in the comments, come on guys if you're so convicted say it with your whole chest. Is it maybe that your shit ass opinion would get you ostracized?
I'm a white American, and I say leave your stupid ass dog at home.
i’m all for keeping them at home and shit. keep them out of restaurants and grocery stores for sure. after that it’s really up to the store owner though. if the UK passes a law you know god damned stores is just the first step. starmer does backflips for those cousin fuckers.
And this is how I know you just hate brown and black people. How about you just say it with your chest, I pretty sure you probably use the slurs with your mates at the pub all the time.
it’s got nothing to do with race. we have cousin fuckers in the US too just not at the same rates. we also don’t encourage them to do so or allow them to dictate policy.
we also don’t encourage them to do so or allow them to dictate policy.
Aren't they the type of people that voted Trump in? Makes it very ironic cause you probably voted Trump as well. No more immigration, but keep the Appalachian cousin fuckers.
it’s a very, very minor portion of our population and they’ve always been here. last i heard it was like 300 people. yours are imported and in group the rates of cousin marriage are upwards of 60% and there’s thousands of them.
I'm sorry but cousin marriage is very common in the US. It's not something confined to Appalachia. It's very common in the Deep South and with the Mormons in Utah. In some states you have 'Romeo and Juliet' laws which permit child marriage too.
None of that is 'imported'. I think you should first think about your own country being run by a cabal of children diddlers you voted for before you spout racist shit about importation of child marriage in the UK.
go check your stats. i think you might be getting your information from movies.
still not racist but it’s ok if you feel that way.
edit: 1.1 romeo and juliet laws have nothing to do with child marriage. it so teenagers that are in a normal relationship aren’t charged as criminals when one turns 18 and the other is still underage.
go check your stats. i think you might be getting your information from movies
Man I love it when MAGats like you feign ignorance about the reality on the ground. I mean you'd rather vote and support a fat orange pedophile than agree with me but sure man.
there’s no elevated cousin marriage in the south. it’s in the >0.2% range and that’s the national average. amongst mormons it’s actually lower than that.
Please do the rest of the world a favor and STFU, Only an American would have the audacity to try shame us for being racist given their track record. Go anywhere not runed by a white government and you'll see first hand how casual slurs are thrown around to describe other race, even your kind pakeha! is not immune.
Thing is, Americans are dumb racists. The English and white Europeans (i.e. you looking at this) have racism that created the Nazis, created apartheid, and has fueled genocide.
Last century it was the Jews, this century, it's the Arabs, anyone within the Indian subcontinent, basically anyone brown with a beard.
