Do you think animals can be more loving than people?

[b]I do.[/b]

Magenta · F Best Comment
[i]More?[/i] No. I think many people project humanness onto animals. They ascribe human characteristics to them based on what they want to believe. I do believe they can feel to some degree and for sure show affection, but domesticated animals depend on us for their sustenance, so that also appears like love. But they are ever and always an animal and have animal instincts.

And when they attack, as they do, people are shocked because, guess what...the animal behaved like an animal.😬

@Magenta I enjoy animals as well but I'm not a fucking idiot about them. You're right, when people call their pet their child, that's creepy.

@Magenta I once heard a professional dog trainer say that the #1 mistake people make with their dogs is treating them like people. Good response.
Magenta · F
@Reject Ah excellent point. And thank you. :-)

No, in fact I don't believe most animals are capable of love at all. They're animals, they don't know what love is. With the exception of some apes and perhaps dolphins, animals don't love.

@Adogslife Third world hatred? Now I'm genuinely confused by that statement. I'm not from the Third World, and I don't live in a Third World country. And what's more is I don't understand why the Third World would hate dogs.

So it's pretty clear you've never actually owned a dog before, then. Because that exact situation has happened to me, more than once unfortunately, and the dog is going to absolutely not stay with you and starve. They're not the most intelligent of animals, granted, but they're not [i]that[/i] stupid.

[quote]Perhaps you should move out of the shithole where they eat dogs.[/quote]
Yeah sorry to tell you but "the shithole where they eat dogs" is not somewhere that I live, that's the majority of three continents. But if you wanna call the entirety of Asia, most of Africa and at least half of Europe a shithole, go ahead. Although...I guess most of Africa does seem like a shithole, but whatever. Japan is the place where I was mostly eating dogs back in the day. And that's anything but a shithole. Now I live in Chicago in the USA, where eating dog is illegal but you can still buy dog meat from the Chinese market.

[quote]Anyone that would eat a dog should be shot and served themselves.[/quote]
Are you a vegetarian? Because if not, you're the most hypocritical son of a bitch on Earth. There is no difference between eating a dog and any other animal. If you consume meat products, but you think it's wrong to eat dogs, then you're the one who should be shot.

[quote]Btw, do you eat humans too? Horse? Cat?[/quote]
Oh I eat horse too, yeah. I've eaten cat before but it tastes [i]terrible[/i]. And I mean seriously, it's really bad. I only ate a cat because I was starving though. Honestly, I'd had no food in five days and was vomiting straight bile. So it tasted like shit but it saved me from dying of starvation at least.

[quote]What is off limits in the third world?[/quote]
Why do you keep asking about the Third World? I don't live in a Third World country, you fucking dunce. You keep going back to that as if I'm from a Third World country. I'm an ethnic Serb, which is the Second World, I live in the USA, which is the First World, and I started eating dog in Japan when I did an exchange student program in high school, which is also the First World.

@Peaches In high school I did an exchange student program in Japan, and dog is eaten there. It's considered a poor person's food because it is cheap low quality meat. I refuse to eat animal products unless I know the animal was both raised and killed humanely though. I don't think any living thing should be mistreated, even the creatures I dislike.

I'm around people all day long in a fairly high stress environment. Nothing beats coming home to the unequivocal love of your dog.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Adogslife Nothing beats coming home to a dog? I'd rather not come home at all than have to walk into my house and find that it's been infiltrated by a gross loud hairy mutt that shits everywhere and won't leave me alone.
Adogslife · 61-69, M
@BlueMetalChick well, you are unique...
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Adogslife Not really, no. Most of the people in my country eat dogs instead of keeping them as pets. Although we do try to do it humanely. I don't believe in abusing an animal, even if I don't like it. That's wrong.
Cute photo, ironically I posed this exact question just a short while ago. (Great minds think alike)

Yes, they also are our greatest teachers.

depends dogs will kill anything that goes up to them.. but as a pet they are more caring than people
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Peaches Because why would I do that when I could instead [i]not[/i] do that? What incentive could I possibly have to withhold my opinion?
Peaches · F
@BlueMetalChick To take someone else's feelings into consideration is a worthy incentive.😏
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Peaches Yeah but come on, Peach, you know me better than that 😏

@cherokeepatti Awww, too cute!🙂

@Peaches What, you wouldn't eat a goat, or a dog? Are you a vegetarian?
Peaches · F
@BlueMetalChick No, but I don't eat lots of meat. 🐟I really like fish the best.⭐
Peaches · F
YES, absolutely because they love us unconditionally❣😊🐕
