I'm getting so sick of seeing pets (mainly dogs) riding with passengers in the plane. They used to be placed in the cargo hold. It was perfectly normal to medicate them so they would sleep or be calm while crated down there.

Now days, people insist on having their animals ride with them in the seat. Under the seat or on their lap. Flying is already cramped and stressful enough. I don't want to be sitting next to a shedding, stinking animal as well.

I live in a high rise apartment. The neighbor I share a wall with has 3, yes, 3 dogs crammed into a high rise apartment. One is a german shepherd who is literally 80 pounds and wears a muzzle anytime he leaves the apartment because he barks so much/is so poorly behaved. I work from home, live in a high rise, and chose not to own a dog because it is inhumane to put a 80 pound animal in a 1000 square foot area and then leave all day. Despite teh fact I and many of my neighbors chose not to have a dog, we all have to deal with incessant barking 24/7. These dogs bark non stop as if they are being attacked whenever teh owner isn't home. The apartment has done nothing. I understand there isn't much that can be done, but my frustration is peaked. My life is substantially worse as a result of dogs I chose not to own, and the only thing they have to do is pay a $500 pet fee and they get to ruin everyone else's life. Most people say "dogs bark, what can you do, it isn't the owner's fault." I disagree. If you put three dogs in a high rise apartment you are subjecting them to a terrible life. The entire building is dirtier because of all the dogs. The hallways and elevators constantly smell like piss. I cannot imagine subjecting a dog to this life, and it seems half the building has done it. Dog ownership has become way too common as commercialized breeding increased. They aren't something for you to take instagram pics with and hang out with once a week.

Those videos where there’s a dog and a baby, it’s not just any dog, it’s either a big dog or a big dog that is definitely dangerous, by the looks of the thing, and those stupid comments that say “that dog will protect her at all cost” or “Awwwh the love they share.. So darn precious 🥰 🥰”. Like first off, babies don’t know anything yet, you’re the one who placed your baby next to the dog or called your dog over, or whatever you did. And secondly, you watched too many damn Disney movies. Yes we were all brainwashed at a young age, but we also have common sense, a brain. You look at a lion and automatically think “danger”, but when it comes to a dog… they wouldn’t hurt a fly? Come on now. And I’ve actually seen dog trying to catch flies.

Nothing drives me mor insane than when I read comments under someone who rehomed their pets for change of circumstance or whatever reason and people are like but would you do that to your kid? Like are you out of your mind comparing a damn pet to a kid? Humanizing pets has been way too normalized its out of hands to the point where people laugh or don’t take any offense to people that say I don’t like kids but the minute someone says I hate cats the comments are flooded defending cat or the pet even after it did something outrageous like scratch or hurt someone!! Like people are not allowed to say they don’t like a pet without an army of people coming for them!!

I can't see to escape animals, especially dogs and cats, in commericials. Whether it be pet food ads, pet insurance ads, or just ads starring them.

I'm sick of how pet owners dislike me, while proceeding to make a very good case for why not to own pets. Like, all I ever see are pet owners being inconvenienced by their pets & also pets always being at their worst. Then, they wonder why I don't like them & it's like, "Seriously?"

I have seen someone that wouldn’t bat an eye whenever she sees a fellow suffering helpless human, but would cry and adopt helpless stray dog or cat.

Do they consider themselves morally upright as opposed to the humans they are condemning ?

Their claims: humans are not loyal, dubious, stabbed you behind your back, etc. You can loathe a dog today but it would defend you tomorrow.

My claim: they need a loyal companion that wouldn’t condemn their bad behaviour, and would still love them regardless of their situation.

You feed them, bath them, walk or play with them, pick up after them. You scoop their poop. They can't even do chores. A child is gonna grow up someday and do this all by himself and would probably take good care of you in your old age.

Which brings me to the question: If you condemn human because they are not living as animals, specifically pets,
Do you think you’re not what you’re condemning?

Once every while, my mom calls me and all of my siblings to one room in our house to talk to us, hard cussing towards us with an aggressive tone, talking about how trifling we are, and I admit that I can be trifling but I would also say that I’m a clean person, I love cleanliness, so that makes me question why am I still trifling at the same time? Did something go wrong in my childhood where it turned me into a trifling person? I’ve been trifling since childhood but I love cleanliness now, but I’m still trifling at the same time hmmm… could it be depression? Am I mentally ill? My mom would talk to us once every while and she just did it again like a couple hours ago, while she allows the most disgusting fucking animal to live in her home and into her car aka her dog, her so-called “he means the world to me”, and she has her own fucking dishes that she doesn’t wash and my dad always loves to jump in the conversation being on her side, like he’s any damn better, like dude at least we don’t put our used cotton swabs in a cup that we are going to drink out of at some point 🙄, you piss all over the toilet seat too and sometimes don’t even wipe it and you’re fucking disgusting when playing with dog. And my mom says that she doesn’t like when dogs are left outside because it’s sooo horrible, so her dog stays in her house 🙄 so you’re fucking disgusting your self, you *itch 🙄 I really think she pretends when it comes to this dog, because at first she didn’t even want this damn dog when my oldest sibling brought it to her house, it was a puppy, and now the dog is like 3 or 4 years old.

My egg donor has 3 big & aggressive dogs (1 of them being a hunting dog), she also barely feeds them. Today, her Cane Corso attempted to get some food that fell at my feet & when I harshly reprimanded him she tried to dismiss it, "He isn't gonna bite you," like how TF can you be that confident? It's disturbing how she's not the only pet owner to act like that.

Nothing makes me more mad than when people say a cat teaches your kids boundaries like no thanks i would be damned if a cat tried to teach my child “boundaries” dumbest sh$t I have heard, im not letting no damn cat swat my kid to teach em anything also who is gonna teach that cat boundaries because it never understands it.

I don't like pet lovers,I saw reels of dogs licking their owners mouth i mean how can they eat and drink after that

We people spend money on dogs but we sadly don't care about homeless people,i only give food and money to humans because we have to support our humans ,i saw some people feeding food to street dogs which breeds tens of dogs but no one cares about poor human

There’s a new post from 3 hours ago, on the TikTok account “Dogs aren’t family” or “dog_owners_are_selfish”, and there’s a dude in a 7/11 with his hideous dog (don’t know what kind of dog it is) and some dipshit in the comment section made me mad, saying “Not my problem” after someone said “But people have phobias and allergies how about that”. If I run into somebody like this one day and said this to me ✌️😌…

I'm getting tired of people on a popular streaming video service that keep featuring their cats. I was watching a video, where the cat stuck his head in the shot and then he stopped talking about the topic at hand and started talking about his cat.

I think I’m just going to start un-following them.

Here is a cringy

I was watching a recorded church service video where a guy I knew was going to read some scripture during a church service.

He walks up to the Pedestal gets out a photo of his cat and says "In case anyone missed my post on Facebook, here is the photo of (cat’s name) and he shows the congregation the photo of his cat.

BARF!

 

Mines would be them making excuses for their pets aggressive behavior.

I fucking hate people who insist on having pets for security, first off I've seen plenty of security dogs fail at their job & #2 many times the security dogs attack you. The other issue is that you become numb to their barking, since they bark at pretty much everything, you become numb to it & then when there's a real threat you're already in danger before you even realize what's going on (if you're not dead). Not to mention, you're still stuck with an animal you gotta take care of. It'd be more efficient to get a gun or just a, "beware of dog," sign.

My sister lives across the country and bought a new home which I finally got to visit after a few months and it was so nice. Spacious, clean, and modern.

Then more months go by, I visit, and she and her partner have a new untrained puppy that they didn't tell me about even though they made arrangements for me to stay with them. Their house was disgusting. Pee pads everywhere, dirty couch, piss puddles, and occasional stray turds, and it smelled worse too. I had to turn on lights and watch where I stepped. And after becoming pet free again after leaving my nutter ex, I thought I'd never clean up animal excrement/"accidents" again.

I just don't understand it. 😭 The puppy was cute, but not cute enough for me to have destroyed my beautiful home if I had one. So disappointing.

I can’t go to their house because every time I do, this big huge stinky golden retriever with a big slobbery mouth and gigantic face runs and jumps on me.
They put it outside but when I sit down anywhere in the house all of my clothes get filthy with blonde dog hair and I have to come home and completely change. The whole house and couch smells like wet dog and I just don’t think dog owners can smell it.

I just got rejected by another person that I was interested in a potential relationship with, b/c I'm pet free. What's funny is she claimed, "99% of your profile is you shitting on pet owners," which that actually isn't true, matter of fact I only joined this sub last year, but there's also plenty of other posts I made, too. But, also the fact she exhibited a persecution complex by claiming that I, "shit on pet owners," when IRL mosts of my posts here are me complaining about how my birthgivers are irresponsible & selfish pet owners isn't, "shitting on them," it's rightful criticism. Honestly, I feel like I dodged a bullet & feel vindicated, like the fact she didn't disclose she owned pets, imagine I was allergic.

I almost wish that I didn’t wake up to truth about dogs and dog culture, because probably I wouldn’t be annoyed by dogs and their nutters, because I would still be under the spell and think this crap is just normal. I know that you could still be annoyed by dogs and their barking and the nutters, but still think it’s normal because again, the brainwashing, and that was sort of the case for me, when it comes to baby-talking because I’ve always been irritated by that shit, when my mom does that dumb shit. Now that I’m awoke, I’m annoyed by all of it, you name it I’m annoyed by it. I’m glad I did wake up though, and how I’ve woken up, it started with my oldest sibling showing up to our house with this fucking dog, without us knowing I think, I’ll just say I didn’t know, the dog is a pit bull boxer, and I was kinda excited, at first my mom didn’t want the thing and kept trying to get rid of IT and I was mad, I was excited to take this dog on walks, sleeping with IT, and I was going to buy IT dog toys, foods and treats after I get a job, until this dog started pissing and shitting on our carpets and destroying our stuff, I think what really made hate this dog now is because my mom likes playing hero and making excuses, and doing that fucking baby-talking that makes me want to destroy her fucking house by running through her walls like Marvel’s Juggernaut (not possible of course) but the walls don’t feel that high quality) when she does that baby-talking. I’ve started hating how this dog looks, just looks fucking stupid, goofy, sad, and confused all at the same time, overall this has lead me to searching up “I Hate Dogs” on YouTube and what do I see? A YouTube channel with the exact same words I’ve searched up.
