I'm apalled at the true scale of dog narcissism.
I read the comments underneath a UK news site about a man who was killed by a dog this week, which is being treated as manslaughter.
The site, which I won't name, is supposed to be for down-to-earth, working-class people. But i think about 95% of posts were demanding to know "the full story as a dog would never do that for no reason," "dogs are our protecters," one who said "I would rather feed a dog than a child" (seriously);
And many accusing the few people who said they're sick of dog culture of being evil, liars, or from another country amongst many other accusations. It was truly a sight to behold. One of them laughed when I commented that I'd been attacked by alsations unprovoked as a 3-year-old, 12 year-old, and as an adult by a doberman 3 months ago (which lead me towards discovering Dogfree).
Apparently dogs hate me because they sense evil. These people mirror my neighbours and most dog owners in my faeces-strewn neighbourhood perfectly, and I am apalled by the depths to which society has plunged.
One post that particularly 'got my goat' was a man who boasted about his giant ridgeback that would tear someone to shreds if they messed with his daughter, and that he uses to clear the way in crowded spaces.
I should never have got in the ring with these commenters, and I've learned my lesson, just wanted to offload to the only place I'd feel would get where I'm coming from.
