Dogs are wild animals who belong in the wild

Dude, dogs are domesticated wolves. There are few wild dogs species in the wild, like African Hunting dogs, and none of them are pets.

@pokeyphilosophy Dude, I have a degree in Biology. I can explain in great detail how you are wrong. Where do you get this stuff?

@pokeyphilosophy Boston University. And I have forgotten more about zoology, biology, and evolution than you will ever know.

As a matter of fact I am a Conservative. But the education is correct.
@HoraceGreenley Great. Now biology is conservative? LOL

@HoraceGreenley eh , typical lib ...
@TexChik Exactly what liberal side of the conversation did I side on? My comment to the OP regarding dogs was this:

You do know that dogs are probably the ONLY animal truly domesticated by man for which keeping them would not be abuse, right?

Which is about as pro-dog and traditional as it gets.

@CopperCicada and ... so biology is conservative now ?
*pops in and out to listen* I am going for groceries. My dogs are sleeping on the couch. The cats are sleeping where they choose. Have fun.
@TexChik The OP called @HoraceGreenley out as a liberal for suggesting dogs are domesticated. To which @HoraceGreenley said he was a conservative and a biologist.

So there we have it. Believing dogs are domesticated is a conservative scientific position-- which I agree with.

It would seem to be a ultra liberal view that dogs should not be owned. I have met such people and presume the OP is either a troll one of them.

Science is conservative since it deals with reality. Liberals have no concept of reality therefore they only claim to be scientific when in fact they are mentally ill.

@CopperCicada my point was my political views have nothing to do with science
@HoraceGreenley Well I would agree with that. But then others here such as @hippyjoe1955 would assert I have to be a liberal because I am trained as a scientist, and hate God because I find religious inspiration in science. So one can never know.
