Dogs are food, not pets. And cats are just disgusting.

@Imsleepy I don't get it.

@Spoiledbrat What the hell are you rolling your eyes at me for?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@deadgerbil Well I don't eat cats. Firstly because they taste HORRIBLE and unfortunately I know this from experience, but also because it's illegal.
They might be pets to [i]you.[/i] 🙄 @BlueMetalChick
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Spoiledbrat They're not pets to me though. I just said that.
Oh see. That’s why the popcorn comments. They are pets. You know that. If you want to eat them go right ahead but they [i]are[/i] pets. @BlueMetalChick
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Spoiledbrat No, they're not. They weren't domesticated to be pets in the first place. Just like cows weren't domesticated to be pets. Do you really think ancient humans formed a mutual relationship with canines because they wanted a cute cuddly companion to snuggle with?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Spoiledbrat Well, then you're an idiot. I can't help you with that one. Ignorance can be corrected but stupidity is permanent.

@BlueMetalChick They did not want cute cuddly companions. They wanted canines to alert them to potential danger in the night. It was a beneficial union for both species. They weren’t domesticed to be food.
Thank you. That is correct and you said better than I did. @Imsleepy
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Imsleepy Thank you. Apparently Puffieke doesn't understand that; she thinks they were bred to be adorable pets. In certain areas of the world they were domesticated as a food source but that's a pretty small minority. Dogs were primarily intended to be working animals.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Spoiledbrat Oh so NOW you think I'm right. You just conveniently changed your opinion when someone who is not me decided to say the same thing I did.
No. 🙄I didn’t change anything. 🙄I was just being sarcastic. The key is that they bonded. 🙄That is what makes them pets. 🙄A food source was never the primary goal. 🙄So I don’t know why you said that. @BlueMetalChick
A food source was never the goal so NO they are not just food. 🙄@BlueMetalChick
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Spoiledbrat I honestly could not tell you were being sarcastic. I legit though you meant that when you said it.

I didn't say a food source was the primary goal. I say being a pet and companion was not the primary goal.

The point I'm trying to make is that because dogs were bred to be working animals, keeping them as pets and not giving them the experience of doing the tasks they were intended to do usually is what results in them acting so retarded.
You said and I QUOTE , “Dogs are food, not pets.” No they are not. Dogs can be food because nearly anything [i]can[/i] be. But they are not just food. 🙄
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Spoiledbrat Fine, then how about this.

Dogs are food and working animals, not pets.

Better?
Dogs were bred to be a companion to humans. Being a companion to humans is what drives them.
