Top 10 Reasons Why I Hate Dogs

  1. Ugly DogThey are loud. BARK!! BARK!! BARK!! Even reading those three words is annoying!
  2. They are dirty. They lay down their dog shit wherever they are – On your lawn, on my lawn, in their own beds, on your bed. And on the odd occasion I end up with dog shit on my shoes and don’t find out until I’ve walked through my house… by GOLLY THAT MAKES ME FURIOUS!!
  3. They smell. They need to be washed like a car otherwise they infect uphostry (couches, carpets, curtains) with their stench.
  4. They get angry. And frankly I’m scared of most of them.
  5. They dribble. And their slime gets onto your clothes. eeeuch!
  6. They are ugly. Ok, ok, I’ll make a few exceptions for some puppies, but in general I don’t think they are an attractive animal.
  7. They need so much attention. They go mental if they are left alone for long periods of time (much to the annoyance of the neighbours i.e. me!)
  8. They wreck stuff. Chewing, knawing, eating, scratching
  9. They render owners backyards unusable. Don’t you dare walk back there with bare feet!
  10. One killed my cat! (June 08) The cutest fricken cat in the world too :(

    “C” is a very ill breed individual. He/She has already been called out as a dog cultist, an ageist and now we can add racist to the list. As a child my mother never allowed dirty animals in our house. My father taught us to accept all ethnicities (aka PEOPLE,for all the bleeding heart dog cultists who seem to have difficulty with real relationships) We would have been punished for using a racial slur. So my guess is that ” C” was never properly socialized. But dogs don’t know the difference so no pressure there. The down side is, how does an improperly socialized human imagine he/she can socialize a dog.

      I never underestimate dog fanaticism. I find it revealing that members of the dog taliban, like C, show up here so frequently trying to make us “believers”. The dog-worshipers that show up just calling us a-holes and such aren’t that unusual and it’s to be expected; it’s just a knee-jerk reaction to a site that insults the only source of their self-esteem, and sadly “their best friend”. They’re pathetic but at least truthful. C is a presumptuous, deceitful,lying sack of shit like most every one of her ilk that show up here from time to time.

        I am in no way deceitful or dishonest. I say what I mean and mean what I say.
        I don’t just talk, blather and yammer. I live what I speak.
        I’m sorry you hate one creature this much. To a level that you NEED to talk about it EVERY DAY. I think that lot of you need some serious psychotherapy.
        Get over this schism you feel exists between you and dog owners. We are not all narcissists, lunatics, fanatics, and worshippers.
        Pretty average people with no agenda.
        I’m not trying to convert you, I am just proving that dog owners do not just consist of “you asshole, you should burn in hell for not loving dogs”. There are intelligent, considerate, and empathetic dog owners as well.
        Dogs owners suffer from irresponsible dog ownership as well.

          Then WTF are you doing on this site you stupid C-word. We aren’t the problem, your fellow dog-worshipers are. Your dog abuse concern about this site is a red-herring -we don’t own dogs. Most dogs at the shelter were owned, abused and neglected by dog-owners. Why would we care whether you are responsible or not, you’re an effin’ dog-worshiper, that’s enough to judge you as an idiot; and why would you care what we think. You’re a shit-stirrer, that’s all. Doesn’t take any effort at all to see that.

      You make these presumptions about who or what I am by a few posts on a dog haters blog. If there was any level if intelligence in you, you would realize that this is not a good measuring stick.
      If I were to judge you by this blog you would sound like a cold, fussy, closed minded fool. A sheep following the herd. Bahhhh!
      I don’t know you and I realize that this blog may not be the essence of who you are. Obviously.
      I have real relationships (as opposed to fake ones I guess). I am married, have two children, live in close proximity to my grandparents (my grandmother is my absolute best friend… so much for ageist), have many friends/cousins/exercise buddies living in close proximity. All this and I own a dog…. seems impossible right?
      Many people that I care about don’t like dogs. My grandmother is one of them.
      She is scared out of her mind of dogs so I frequently walk her (guard her) from place to place in our small town. Strangely enough, she loves my dog…. hmm.
      I actually asked her what the difference is between the dogs roaming the street and my dog Ruby. She said “your dog is well behaved”.
      My grandmother also asks that I bring Ruby over as my grampa (riddled with health issues: heart failure, kidney failure, COPD, high blood pressure etc) seems very happy when she is around.
      You presume to know “dog owners” as a group. You can’t. We are all individuals.
      I have a dog because I like them. To me they are cute, fun, and entertaining.
      I take care that no one is affected by my dog ownership. I’m responsible and there are many as (or more) vigilant as I am.

        Okay, fine, perhaps I was overreacting. I just thought your offhand comment about Chinese folk eating everything that moves was really unnecessary. It made it sound like you found them to be primitive, savage people with no feelings. At least you admitted in an earlier post that there is a genetic proneness to biting in your dog. You claim to know canine body language and how to counter it, which is good too.

        But you did make a few posts that claimed your dog is not allowed around people. That people want to pet her, but she doesn’t like adults. Is this something you think can be fixed? Or have you accepted having to be with her so much to prevent an attack? Despite the stereotypes, pit bulls are supposed to be good with people. Does it worry you that she doesn’t trust adults, even if you’d put her down if she attacked? You even said yourself that owning a pit bull [mix] is a MASSIVE RISK with 2 kids. That makes it sound like part of your ownership is pride. I’m not trying to downplay you. I’ve met calm pits, Rottweilers, Dobermans, and Akitas. My real wonder is the reasoning behind having this particular dog at this time. Maybe try explaining more?

        We know there are responsible dog owners out there. We just don’t always run into them. It is nice to know there are people who like dogs (besides me lol arrogance) who are fine with people not liking them. Still, some of the stuff you’ve been saying sounds as judgmental as some of the stuff we’ve been saying.

          When I said massive risk, it was sarcastic.
          Every dog is a slight risk. Waking up in the morning, getting in your car, and driving to work hold a plethora of risks.
          I know what to watch for in a dog. I watch CONSTANTLY. I am 100% vigilant. I would be 100% vigilant if I owned a lab, cocker spaniel or golden retriever… this vigilance has nothing to do with her breed.
          We have worked with her on her timidity but I do believe some of it is inherited. We will work with her in pet stores where I ask complete strangers if they could assist me (none have ever had an issue). I would give them a treat and hand it to her. By the second treat, she is their best friend. Yes, dogs are that pliable (or stupid) lol.
          Does it worry me? Honestly, no. I am very confident in my own abilities and I constantly watch her expressions and her body language. She shuts down (mental flight) over fight. She has been completely overwhelmed and has never shown ANY agression, EVER.
          Example: we went to the vet because she had a lump on the side of her neck. The vet require a FNA (fine needle aspirate), where there stick a very fine needle into the lump and attempt to withdraw fluid. We had to flip her on her side and poke her neck with a needle with NO sedatives, muzzles or anasthetic. She was very scared and if she were to have shown aggression, it would have been to complete strangers that were stabbing her wound with a needle. It didnt happen.
          As I stated before “pit bull” is a guess. A total guess.
          We got a picture from the rescue of the dam and she appeared to be a pure bred Boston terrier. The dad looked like a “pit bull” mix BUT a female can breed with numerous males and get pregnant by several at the same time in one heat so we aren’t completely certain.
          My husband raised pit bulls and grew up with them. Out of all of his dogs only ONE went nuts. It was a Mastiff/APBT, not a purebred. I also have owned another pit bull in my life and he was a suck. Those are my anecdotal experiences… they weren’t bad.
          You are correct . A lot of my words have been tongue in cheek and very flip. If members were more calm and affable (such as yourself), it would be a completely different type of conversation. I am guilty of reacting on emotion.
          Do me a favour. Google Boston terrier/lab and you will see a dog that looks EXACTLY like a pit bull. It goes to show how one can misidentify a breed.

      I do not like misbehaved dogs at all, including the one here at my house. Or better yet in the yard. I absolutely positively wish we didn’t have her. But it’s my husband’s disgusting dog that we have to accept. Too much barking, destroying my property and doesn’t listen while jumping on me and the kids. She makes me feel like I couldn’t NEVER love a dog BUT I do. I have loved a beautiful little German Shepherd puppy, she was just like a baby. But I do not like being forced to deal with someone’s animal and out of control owners. You won’t see me tongue kissing a dog ever and letting them jump on my table and eat off my plate.

      Well I’ve had a Siberian Husky and he was almost none of the bad things listed above.To be honest, most dogs are like the description this is why I only like Huskies.

      1.)Huskies are not loud, mine NEVER barked .
      2.)My husky was never ever dirty.He always tiptoed and never got dirt on his white fur!My Husky was also afraid to poop on the lawn or in public so I had to take him into the woods and he would do his business behind a tree and then kick dirt over it with his back legs, pretty clean if you ask me!
      3.)Huskies will smell amazing! After you give your Husky a bath, he/she will smell like the scent of the shampoo for a week!
      4.)My Husky was always playful and only showed aggression once in his entire life with another dog!
      5.)Huskies jowls are built to not dribble!
      6.)The Siberian Husky is a very beautiful dog, and I’m not the only one who thinks so.
      7.)This is one of the downfalls.The Husky does need a lot of attention.Mine never wined but he would get nervous if I locked him in a room and he would scratch the bottom of the door, so put him in a crate to avoid the nervousness!
      8.)They also are destructive when they get lonely and anxious from having no one there for over 6 hours, bu if he/shes in a crate (once again) then the problems solved!Just put a toy in the crate and everything’s great.
      9.)Some huskies dig holes but mine never did.
      10.)The one time my husky showed aggression is when he killed a Chihuahua.The Little dog was snipping at his feet and he couldn’t take take it anymore and just snapped.All it took was that one bite to the neck to kill the Chihuahua.I had to Euthanize my dog because of this.:(

      …. other than the aggressive part, he was probably the best dog in the world.You can ask anymore from a dog!He knew so much, including tricks like roll over,play dead, follow(where you say follow and the dog follows you until you say”go now”),shake,sit,lay down,go to bed and so much more!
      But now I have kittens and I love them just as much!

    i absolutely abhor dogs and the dog-obsessed culture we live in. i wish someone would tell me what country dogs aren’t popular in, and i’ll just move there. i HATE when i get dressed up in a nice, expensive, well-thought-out outfit, only to arrive at the party and have a dog jump all over me, getting dirt and slobber all over me. it would be one thing if i initiated the contact, but dogs are useless at reading emotions— they are completely oblivious that you don’t want to be near them. every single dog i have ever met has had a “jump first” mentality.

    no, i am not scared of dogs, not even the ones that weigh the same as me. i am just annoyed they feel the need to stink me up with their disgusting stench and drool. and don’t get me started on the crotch sniffing.

    dogs have no standards. you could be as abusive as you’d like to a dog, and it will still come back to you. that is why i can’t stand when dog owners go on and on about how smart they are. a CAT would never let someone mistreat it. it would ignore the person and if it is the owner, it would punish them. THAT is an intelligent animal. one who won’t get pushed around.

    I think C was right the first time when stating that she took a huge risk in having a pitbull. Then later she tried to back peddle. I don’t buy it. I find it amazing that she would put her children at risk for a dog fetish. Someone should report her to child protective services. It will probably be too late before someone determines she knew her dog could potentially harm her children.

      It was a sarcastic remark… you know that but you will use it to your advantage.
      If someone reported me to CPS for having a dog, they would laugh (*I* would laugh). I guess everyone who owns a dog and also has children should be reported to CPS.
      I’m sure an old spinster such as yourself wouldn’t mind burdening CPS with such ridiculous calls. Good luck :D

    Dog lover/owners promotes a form of animal cruelty, as in the ability for humans to change an animal just to make it more “convinient” to have as a pet? Think about, dog’s are creatures, not animals, the difference is an animal will defend itself, will never listen to you and will never instantly trust you. Dogs, USED to be like that, wild and free, untill somewhere someone started feeding it and using it as service animals. That would of been perfectly fine but unfortuantly it got worse, humans started adopting them as pets, then bred the crap out of them, then bred them again to get specific attributes/traights so they are more customized to a person’s preference. All that breeding and domesticating took away all their natural instincts, including their survival instincts, and left them with a single stran of thought: “Love humans or die”. Literally, thats all a dog is, a pitiful creature that is forced to love humans in exchange for food or die of starvation as the average modern day dog has absolutely no survival instinct, only the urge to sniff your crotch. How could anyone respect that a dog loves you because its been engineered to.

          Venomous. Snakes of this nature are VENOMOUS, not POISONOUS. Dog owners, especially pit bull lovers, get up in arms when someone calls their dogs out for the ticking time bombs that they are. We snake people get irritated when people mis-label our animal of choice. I don’t keep venomous, but I am sick of the media hype and general fear that snakes are all inherently dangerous. Somehow I can’t see my shoestring sized baby corns OR my 6-foot carpet python as a threat. Snakes don’t bite for the thrill of it. That’s a dog’s forte.

          It IS our business if we live in a neighborhood with a potentially dangerous dog. The dog goes outside. Pit people feel their dogs are “sweet” until the dog breaks its chain or leash and charges out and mauls someone. Snakes don’t need to crap in the yard or go for walks, so that analogy makes no sense. It IS our business if your dog’s barking is disrupting our lives.

          Domestic dogs don’t kill for survival, they do it for fun. Captive snakes don’t lose their predatory or defensive instincts, and they only bite if they feel threatened, or if they miss when striking at the dead rat dangling from our fingers.

          So if others can say they hate snakes, I feel I have the right to say I hate dogs. After all, they are NOT people. And BTW there are two German Shorthaired Pointers and a cat in my house. I constantly have to watch.the dogs around the cat, who was a stray that we took in, so they don’t kill her for sport. The dogs weren’t my choice and having them only makes me despise dogs more.

            Same with we rat people. How many people have been maul by a colony of rats last year? none. How many pet rats snap & maul children to death? none. Also rats are not filthy creatures & tend to stay way form humans at all cost. I am proud to own a creature that I KNOW will not maul me to death anytime. I own rats ever sense I was 2nd grade & I am 22 now (taking a brake due to not finding female rats). But anyway you get the point. Also If your scared of their tails you can get a tailess rat (yes they do exist). Problem for the tailess rat is they can have skin problems. I like them just the way they are.

          2. Elusive

            Yes, Miss snakelady, after looking it over I did decide “dumbass” was probably not the best word choice. I understand you were trying to compare their attacks on people with dogs’, and that it was not directed toward me. I just find venomous snakes too close to the wild to really be called a pet. To me, anyone who keeps a wild animal as a pet is waiting for some sort of disaster, no matter how big or small. This includes people who own wolves or wolf-hybrids. I don’t care if they’re the ancestors of dogs–dogs were DOMESTICATED from them. When I was a kid I saw someone walking a dog I couldn’t recognize, the dog being ahead of him on the leash. I asked what breed it was. He said “wolf” with a smile and even my oblivious-as-all-hell 10-year-old self instinctively backed away. Bad idea people!!

            And Miss Ratty Lady, I agree–rats are my #1 pet. They have their shortcomings, and one that bites unfortunately cannot be taught not to. This being said, I think people are harsher on them than necessary. They’re not the same as wild rats–at least, not completely. And honestly, I’m okay that they don’t take-one-for-the-team attach to me the way some people wish their pets would attach to them. They like me, they’re affectionate, and I can roll with that.

        2. Elusive

          A lot of people don’t pick breeds they’re compatible with, or just plain can’t take care of dogs. I will openly admit I don’t agree with EVERYTHING on this site. It’s impossible; I like dogs. This being said, it does unfortunately affect us at one point or another. Other pets can cause massive issues for sure. For example, the dramatic decline of wild birds because of people who let their skilled, hunting cats roam. But the huge popularity of dogs and their varying degrees of needs/behaviors, often along with poor owners, have caused obnoxiousness and even danger to some of the people on this site. If you’ve read my posts, you’ll see I hate people who worship dogs while hardly caring about other animals. Other people hate the list of unflattering traits dog possess, and usually the incompetent percentage of owners as well. Quick examples:

          -Some old neighbors thought it would be funny to sic their pit bull on me and a former friend. She climbed a tree and I ran inside the house.
          -My best friend’s relative has a bull-breed type mix. He’s not trained. He’s cute but totally in love with me. I opt out of elaborating.
          -Two people I know are great with their rats and cat but they rescued an Australian cattle dog and a Belgian malinois. They live in a small house in the city. The dogs are neurotic and go bonkers at everything. They are barred in one room much of the time because of how unruly they are. The malinois is nervous, and I feel she may become a fear biter. I don’t say anything but I feel like it would be better if they were in the country, or a larger house.
          -Went to a waterfront and and saw a young boy struggling as he was dragged down the sidewalk by his Rottweiler. The parents were apparently okay with this.
          -Not my own experience but a friend’s. She knows a hound mix that’s grossly obese and does not know basic commands. The owners told my friend to go walk the dog and she ended up being dragged at least 2 blocks through foliage and into traffic. Thank goodness the driver was paying attention.
          -And the classic: some d-bag owning a breed that scares people because it makes them feel more powerful. Sure not going to end in disaster, everyone!

          And in a way it does affect us, because of all the dog attacks that occur. I personally believe a lot of these attacks are provoked in one way or another (not necessarily making them justified). I also personally believe a large number of these attacks could have been prevented if the people involved, other than the victims, were more attentive and responsible. Instead, we get some poor fellow in the hospital because somebody else couldn’t hold on to their large dog with a breed history of wariness toward humans. Or perhaps that poor fellow will end up six feet under. I know this doesn’t happen with every dog. But with all the dogs in our various societies, including strays and ferals, it is not entirely unrealistic that a similar incident will happen to someone on this site. And instead of looking at the situation more critically, a whole cargo-trainload of people will be rushing to the defense of dog and owner, saying it was an accident and so forth. Giving them and irresponsible dog people a free pass. This is not a personal attack. I’m just using this as an example. No poking at you or your dog in this post.

          Also, anyone who owns a venomous snake is a dumbass.

            I don’t keep venomous, never would. I don’t agree with those who do, especially if they have kids. But I think ‘dumbass’ is a bit harsh. My point was that you are unlikely to be “attacked” by a snake as opposed to a dog, and that certain dogs are just. a tragedy waiting to happen. Snakes aren’t on trial here, but ‘C’ brought up the subject.

          The stupid C-word is still posting!? Again, preaching the gospel according to dog.
          If you spent as much time on dog-worship sites trying to educate your fellow worshipers to become responsible, sites like this probably wouldn’t exist.
          But no, you have evaded every logical argument to show us what a perfect example of a dog fanatic you are.
          Try this you stupid ignorant bitch, we don’t own dogs, we don’t foul the landscape, we don’t keep people up all hours of the night, we don’t risk injury of fatality by keeping a potentially dangerous animal, We do KNOW that dog-owners, not dog-haters, are responsible for most animal abuse.
          You come here trying to show everyone you have a bigger pair of balls than your husband, your cat is smarter than a puma and your pitbull is your bitch. You have serious problems, C-word. But thank you for letting everyone here see how far you nutjobs can go…….

            Which one of us? I have 2 dogs currently. One is a pure companion; he came with us from the city. The other we bought as a protector to keep us and our other animals safe from those that roam after dark. German shepherd/Plott mix. Since I’m almost completely useless for farm work I usually stay inside the house during break. This means I spend a lot of time looking after the dogs. They’re great, I really like them, but there’s a tremendous load of responsibility involved. I am terribly unassertive and weak and our protector, currently a puppy, seems to know this. I may just be overreacting, but it feels like we are in a silent struggle to rank each other as lower in the hierarchy. Plus she needs lots of attention, and isn’t trained the way the older dog is. The work I’ve experienced is one of the reasons why I have been reconsidering getting a dog when I’m fully independent. Though it’s possible I’m just really lazy. haha.

      They still have the mind set to kill human babies. They still have a pack mentally. Dog lovers are ignoring the dog world/mindset & humanizing it. That is confusing the dog in everyway. Confused dog = dangerous dogs. Then some dog lovers become weak in the dog’s eyes causes the owner to become lower of the pack = dog is in charge = dangerous dog. That is another reason why I hate dogs. I don’t like the way they rule things. Its very annoying.

    What C has failed to understand is that having a pitbull rather than simply a dog is what puts her children at risk. She states she has taken a risk in allowing this type of dog into her home but again puts her selfish dog obsession over the safety of her children. I would be happy to pursue advocating for her children with child protective services when C will provides her contact information.

    I met a wonderful woman who changed my life (for the better). Then 2 years into the relationship she decides to start a “dog foster” with a local small dog rescue. We have fostered maybe 40 different dogs 2-3 at any given time during the last 12 month period. Needless to say I have been through hell and living in hell during that time. Her obsession has turned into my living hell, cleaning constantly and dealing with constant barking and whining from the stupid crying dogs. I was always (my whole life) OK with dogs because I was never really around dogs much. But my experience in the last 12 months has really made me decide that I don’t like dogs. In fact I hate them. They are just too much trouble and I agree with many people here. Dogs are dirty, pathetic, disgusting, filthy, hateful, selfish creatures. Their barking, whining and crying is the noise that precedes violence and suicidal thoughts. And people who love dogs are sociopathic, psychologically dysfunctional idiots for the most part; the fringe of society that cannot bond with people and form normal relationships so they obsess over these loud, disgusting, needy creatures to compensate their inability to form true and lasting bonds with their own species, namely, humans.

    I have observed the nuts aka the lunatic, criminally insane idiots aka “dog lovers” express their disdain for human children (the most precious commodity in existance) in favor of these furry, smelly, shit-encrusted, vomit-eating, loud, whining, idiotic life-forms called “dogs”. These creatures that in a period of thousands of years man (these deranged, sad bastards who call themselves “dog lovers”) has broken and domesticated for his own sadistic amusement. How can anyone in their right mind prefer the company of these “dogs” to their fellow humans? How can these self-righteous ego maniacs put the welfare of a useless, smelly creature over their fellow man? The life of a human is priceless, his/her value infinately exceeds the value of some dirty, loud beast. I tell you, the idiocy and insanity of “dog lovers” never ceases to shock and confound me. Logic and reason are lost on these fools.

    It is sad that I have to make these stupid dogs fear me so that they can shut up for a few hours and let me sleep. But they learn no other way. And waiting for them to get tired of whining and crying (long after they’ve been given adequate shelter, food and water) just because they want attention, is so incredibly selfish for a supposedly “smart” animal. I am reaching the end of my rope. Between this and other things, I am close to calling it quits with the GF.

      This is outrageous…. adding to my file on Dog Crimes….. eventually the authorities are going to have to listen..so very sad…this story is exactly why the children of “C ” are at risk. They are neglectful parents who are in denial. Neglect is a form of abuse. While the mother of this tragedy may not have been aware of the risks, “C” has acknowledged the capacity of her dogs to harm her children on this site.

      Apparently ALL cats and dogs need a registered license. Or do you mean a special permit?

      I highly doubt they have a requirement where I live. I see a decent amount of pits and pit-looking mixes, particularly since my college is in a shadier part of town. Not too many, thankfully. I like pit bulls but think they should be a LOT rarer. Some are friendly but all dogs can be rubbed the wrong way; pits are particularly dangerous in this regard because of their history. Yeah, I know English bulldogs were bred for fighting too, but it’s largely been bred out of them. Plus they’re smaller and their snouts make it hard for them to run far. Pits will never have the fighting instinct completely bred out of them. People say they don’t show warning signs as often as other breeds. They were meant to be EXTREMELY animal-aggressive, which is one reason I will never have one. I think children are such targets for them because: A. not as authoritative, B. smaller so maybe they don’t look like people to pits? And so many d-bags own them, which is part of the problem. They’re tenacious, intimidating, aggressive, have a fighting history, are extremely close to their owners, and can be unpredictable. It’s the best breed to scare people on the street. Not to say C is one of these types; I’m just stating an observation.

      I’m more of a spaniel type. If I ever for some reason did get a breed with a bad reputation, it would be a FEMALE Doberman. No males, ever. Preparing for the flames!

        Elusive -another infiltrator. I notice you come and go at this site thinking you offer a more “reasonable and palatable’ form of dog-worship. Instead of C’s “taliban” approach you think being a “missionary” in the service of your canine lord and master is more achievable. Historically, I liked it when the natives killed the missionaries.
        You should take the same advice given to C -go “educate” your fellow dog-worshipers. Inane anecdotes and personal preferences about your fleabags clearly establishes you as a worshiper, and not in any way a supporter of this site. The enemy comes in many disguises but they all stink of dog…….

          You still think I’m a spy?

          LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

          You were just waiting for an opportunity to jump on me, weren’t you? The top right bar on this website says both haters and lovers can post, if they remain respectful. I did classify myself as a “spaniel type” but I’ve learned a lot here. Enough to make me rethink but not quite completely say no to owning dogs when I’m fully independent. If I do end up saying no, isn’t that one less potentially annoying dog for society to deal with?

          Seriously Mr. Willko, some people who like dogs have sympathy for people who don’t like dogs. Calling someone a worshiper for clearly liking something is oblivious, really. As for the education–I am writing a script for a video or maybe just an essay asking people to stop anthropomorphizing their dogs, stop acting like people who don’t like dogs are demons, learn the consequences of not training dogs, and to be mindful of which breeds they own should they decide to get a dog. Had to throw out the first draft because it was too wishy-washy. It’s been terribly hard finding a voice that has personal opinion but also tries to be persuasive. I have also been thinking about going on pro-dog websites and personally trying to educate, as you say, people who look like they could learn more about dog ownership, anthropomorphism, etc. But so far, I haven’t discovered an approach that wouldn’t get me immediately ripped apart and banned for being “pushy”.

          As for an inane anecdote–some old neighbors sic their pit bull on me and a friend and our choice to flee was inane? This website has taught me that a lot of the things I overlooked about dogs and their owners in the past were not reasonable or acceptable. I “come and go” because I don’t feel the need to be hooked up to this place all hours of the day. I sometimes vent, sometimes agree with certain things that are said, and sometimes try to explain to people like C why dogs have become a bigger problem than many people think. How can things change if you drive away the people who will listen to what haters have to say?

            What a load of sanctimonious horse shit. You’re just a variation on the same old theme. Whether you realize it or not your inane anecdotes and attempts to impart your dog experience merely reveals how much you’ve subconsciously humanized dogs. All one has to do is read your comments. You’re a true believer and you’re compelled to make us believe so we can have an “understanding” -hilarious.

          If one reads the comments on some of those reporting sites you’ll see how truly revolting the dog worship phenomenon is. Here’s a woman who might have been someone’s wife/mother/grandmother torn apart by a pack of dogs and the comment sections are overwhelmed by dog-worshipers defending the dogs. There was absolutely no remorse, no empathy for the woman or comment about the brutality of her death, just a clinical discussion of dog behavior and relationships among the worshipers. I’ll contend that the dog-cultists are the most self-absorbed group of psychopaths I’ve ever encountered. Their animals are bad enough but as some have pointed out they’re just inbred fleabags, but a product the cultists.
          When you profile the relationship between a worshiper and their animal you’ll realize it’s a perversion of normal society, a match made in hell.
          This site serves it’s purpose -attracting the worshipers so their perversion can be exposed.

      Crazy Dog Owner Quote:”I apologized to the family and the girl that got bit up. I feel bad for them. I don’t know what to do,” Hays said.”

      This story is so pathetic. Yet another dog owner who doesnt understand why their dog attacked someone. States she doesnt have homeowners. She “doesnt know what to do”.

      Well for starters you complete asshole, get rid of your murdering dogs. If you dont have homeowners insurance (must have spent that money on dog food) then you’ll need to forfeit some or all of you home to your victim. Thats the way that works idiot. Wow amazingly stupid people.

      There are two aggressive pitbulls next door to me. If there is ever an incident they wont have enough money to pay me and their lawyer. Same goes for their landlord.

    Omg I love this site, but I hate dogs! I started dating my husband and I decided to take his miserable mutt into my home shortly after he moved in with me. No he’s not a loser, my apartment was just nicer. Anyways, his stupid dog was being fed chicken one night at dinner, I was pregnant too at the time and I was giving her another scoop and telling my boyfriend something I look down at the dog and the bitch is showing all her teeth and growling ! I thought sorry bitch but you’re outta here, don’t bite the hand that feeds you ! I hate when people,e try to argue and say don’t mess with a dog while their eating or take their bones away, why not ? I bought that food and those bones if I want to take them away I should be able to.

    Anyways, this dog didn’t get anymore chicken. Lol and then another incident happened,my boyfriend was in the shower and there’s a hallway into the shower and the dog was laying there guarding it and she growled at me! She was so obsessed with him and protective, it was so annoying I said this bitch has to go like now ! Who would want this dog around their children ? It’s flea bag that would leave her hair on the couch when she’d sneak n lay there when he would go to work. The dog that had to go pee so bad she peed in the middle oft believing room.

    Dogs are a hassle and owning one is miserable. We got rid of this bit hand took her to his dads. Now she shits all over the front yard, on the water hose, on the side with concrete even though she has the whole other side of the house with grass just for her. She chooses to lay in oil or dirt .

    We recently moved into his dads to have more time to look for another place cause we didn’t want to renew my lease cause it was 40 miles from his work and this dog and a dog they have in the back bark 24/7 . They are both pits, so ugly and stupid . From sun up to sun down, they bark so much I have to go to the front to make sure no one is breaking in. If someone was breaking in they’d just kill the dog so where is the protection?

    They are disgusting and I literally cannot stand them lol when they bark I fill up a pitcher with cold water n call them nicely to the door and throw it on their face :) ahhh and it feels so good! The female used to stay in the house but I made my boyfriend build a house n kick her out , this bitch would lay on the couch. I don’t know what kind of free for all she thought this was laying on the couch like she’s a queen but if I seen her I’d yell super loud kick her n throw her out.

    She n th dog in the back have killed cats numerous times, I happen to love cats so this made me upset when I was told this. Thank god we are moving soon . It’s kinda sad cause I won’t be able to bring food home and let her sniff it then kick her in the face but ill get bye “)

    Thank you why I hate dogs . Com for giving me a place to vent about these retarded animals that stand around with their tail wagging and tongue hanging.

    Ps, instead of euthanizing why don’t people drop them off in bear and mountain lion infested areas (so cal) n let nature do its thing

      Oh ya forgot to mention the begging, his dad used to feed her from the table! I’d look n shed be sitting there like a stupid begging bitch with her ears back n he’d give her a taste of food !

    Dogs suck. When I passed a dog it kept on barking at me. I just hoped the guy wouldn’t let go of the rope. But when we passed an unleashed cat it just stared at us. Nothing more. I bet a dog would just start running at us if it was unleashed. Hate to tell you dog worshippers but your mutt is retarded. And mental. Only cares about food. Becomes hostile if you don’t feed it.

    Dog owners should be required to pay higher homeowners insurance since their psycho animals are a liability. Renters should also pay an extra fee since their landlords are at risk of being sued if the tenant’s dog attacks an innocent bystander. Oh thats right, the innocent bystander “provoked” the dog LMAO

      All Pitbulls (and all dogs in general) should be destroyed. Humans used dogs back in the day to help hunt game, but they are no longer necessary. They do not deserve a place in this world. Dogs are just ugly, brutish, messy, noisy, clumsy idiotic life-forms, just like the humans who love them.

      Often the neighbors and witnesses will admit that the dog packs or strays were previously a problem and I wonder why they didn’t realize a potentially dangerous situation. The pet industry and their minions, the dog worshipers, lull most folks into complacency because society is inundated by images of humanized dogs – look at the many talking dogs and saccharine human-canine love affairs on TV.
      You are right that communities need to be educated but expect opposition from the dog-worship taliban and the $50B pet industry. I have seen them at council meetings, promoting the dog agenda and pushing for canine intrusion into every aspect of our lives. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if they even make a try for human-canine marriage.
      In the meantime, I recommend anyone who walks or runs in their area or neighborhood carry a good sized pepper spray, not the little ones but a jogger fogger or a small UDAP bear spray with a high Major Capsaicinoids (MC) rating. Some suggest a pistol but you have to be a pretty good shot and could injure yourself or someone else. I’ve used pepper spray, works fine.

    I look at these foster dogs I am stuck with and wonder what the point is. What purpose do they serve other than annoy me. Other thoughts go off in my head. Thinking about young people, wealthy people and college students who get a dog to substitute for a human child. These sad idiots choosing to keep a dog rather than have the balls to start a real family and have kids. These people are so stupid and weak. People who choose dogs over humans are just idiots. Weak people who can’t handle real relationships.

    Dogs themselves are such gross, noisy animals. If not bathed daily they start to smell horrible, like death. Dog husbandry is just a remnant of our past when we humans were primitive and slept in our own shit, and never bathed. We don’t need dogs anymore than we need to wear sheepskins and make fire by rubbing sticks together.

    I think one of the dogs just belched. He just ate a large bowl full of food, I guess the human equivalent would be a man eating 10 pounds of meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Dogs are so filthy. They scarf their food and lap their water without even taking a second to breathe. Then a few minutes later they excrete a giant, smoking pile of turd. Nut not before chewing their pee pads into shreds and then taking their dump right on the floor. FML.

    Hating dogs is not a bad thing. It just means the person cares more about humans than dogs. Dumb animals just destroy everything by chewing it, pissing on it, or taking a huge dump on it. Lapping up water so messily that half of the contents end up on the floor. Such foul, undignified, sloppy, ill-mannered, selfish, dysfunctional creatures. Wrestling with each other in mock combat after they eat so that they can stress each other out and not properly digest their meal. Stressing themselves out (and me) trying to climb over their pen. Stupid animals. We should exile all dogs and dog owners / lovers to a remote island and leave them to tear each other apart.

    They are fanatics, and it never crosses their minds to actually blame the dog itself when something goes wrong. No. They blame the human. “Dog ripped your face off? Maybe it’s your fault!” “Dog ate your baby? Maybe it was your baby’s fault!”

    Dog owners are all bastards, but no dog owner is lower than the “bully breed” (specifically the pitbull) owner.

    These scum get a bully dog so they can feel macho to compensate for lack of penile and genital size. Also to make up for a lack in education and overall morals.

    The two brutish lifeforms deserve each other. May they burn in hell with their devil spawn of a dog. Pitbulls are the devil’s spawn. Besides humans and chimps, they are the other mammal that takes pleasure in violence and killing. Every pitbull should be put down. The breed needs to be made extinct before more innocent human lives are destroyed.

    Hey dog owners: Did you know the vast number of pitbull attack victims are children? No? Burn in hell.

    Yes I agree that pitbulls and their owners are the worst breed. They try to argue that pitbulls have an unearned bed reputation. This is absolutely UNTRUE. The violence of pitbulls is well documented. They attack with no warning signs and unprovoked. True also that children are often their victims. It is an outrage that these crazy immoral people feel no responsibility for the inhumane crimes they and their demon dogs commit against our children. How many crimes will it take for the authorities to wake up?

    I absolutely DESPISE DOGS! They aren’t even natural creatures, they were created by man from wolves, but they are nothing like wolves because dogs have filthy, disgusting and destructive habits. God or nature would have NEVER allowed such a vile creature to evolve! Dogs are the only animals on earth that will come up on a herd of animals or flock of chickens and chase down and kill every one they can just for the fun of it — they literally enjoy ripping other animals apart and listening to them cry in pain! (Wolves from which dogs were created kill only for food or out of fear.) Dogs do the same to wildlife. If they come up on a deer with a fawn, they will chase down the fawn and rip it apart. (And please, don’t anyone give me the “cat” analogy because yes, everyone knows domestic cats will “toy” with a rat, or whatever, before killing it but there is a heck of a lot of difference between “toying” with a rat and killing an entire herd of sheep, goats or whatever, or ripping a fawn apart!)

    Dogs are the absolute filthiest creatures on earth. They are the only animals besides pigs that will actually eat human excrement and even pigs won’t eat it unless they’re starving, but dogs lap it up like ice cream. And after they’ve been out eating human crap, wallowing on dead things and licking their asses, their owners let them lick them in the face and mouth. Ugh! The only thing on earth as filthy as a dog is a DOG OWNER! Furthermore, we all know what dog owners do who “sleep” with their dogs – they don’t spend all that time in bed with their 4-legged shitbags sleeping! And just because a dog is small, doesn’t mean there isn’t something going on, the practice is so prevalent that in South America, there are jokes about women and their “small” dogs!
