Not surprised, it’s kind of like first world feminism bleeding into terf shit, animal welfare groups putting the dog above the human. It’s sad because you can want animal liberation while also looking out for people too, but I guess they missed the memo.
I’ve ran into (liberal) animal rights activists who really fit the stereotype of being misanthropes who would kill hundreds to save one animal. It just feels so… Wrong.
Many pet lovers do not love Earth and it’s inhabitamts (including other humans) minus the specific pet they have emotionally latched onto.

That’s horrible. They love to wear their pet ownership as a badge of honor to indicate they are nature lovers. its so indivative of the society we live in. Everything is just skin deep posturing.
“I love animals SO MUCH that I only feed my dog the most premium powdered industrial livestock.”
Lmfao. That’s hilarious but also way too real
Wait, are they actually taking animals out to the nature and ruining people’s hikes?
Most pet owners see their pet as nothing more but an object to own and control.
I genuinely wonder how pet owners reconcile pedigrees/breeds and eugenics in their heads. “Aww he’s a labrador pure-breed goodboy!”
Don’t get me started on pedigree purebreed shit, it’s like cosmic levels of torture and cruelty.
My stepgrandparents had a king Charles spaniel, and the poor thing had eye infections all the time, probably headaches (their skull is too small for their brain, giving them “ghost headaches” iirc) and epilepsy when it got older. I just cannot understand it and I don’t want to.
These kinds of misanthropic liberals don’t deserve to consume feel-good-bittersweet stories about animals surviving hardship
Send them the dozens of videos of animals in Gaza with their limbs snapped off by IOF bombs, that’s all these fuckers deserve to witness
I think it’s unexamined ideology. there’s a project to indoctrinate us to not have empathy for humans in distress, to see their circumstances, generally, as a product of their choices.
there is something similar at work for animals, but it’s less acute and relies a lot on “out of sight, out of mind” and speciesism. animals in the built environment are pretty tightly controlled in the US. shit, imagine the amount of effort it would take to overcome the outcry over the number of loose, feral dogs getting blasted by cars we would have to see here.
guarantee most people who wanted to save this dog and ignores the human passively assumed this guy could “take care of himself” in a way they felt the dog could not.

Yup. It’s rationalized (if at all) as “this person is in this situation because of their choices and they can choose something else” vs “this poor dog didn’t choose to be here we need to rescue it”
This is so fucking bleak
Dog people are some of the worst psychopaths JFC. I don’t get how you can love dogs, but then have nothing but contempt for cats, humans (especially children), and non-mammals. What causes this? It’s probably sadists are drawn to dogs over other living things, right?
Never met a dog person who actively hated other non-human mammals, did met all kind of racists that loved their pets.
I’ve known just a few loves-dogs, hates-cats people. I would’ve said it’s like a “manly” affection, but I’ve totally known women who were the same.
it’s super weird and I do not respect it lol.
In my personal experience, the same people who say that they hate cats are people who do not grasp basic rules of consent.
I wouldn’t say I hate cats, but my mom’s cats piss me off cuz they keep killing my house plants (can’t wait to move out).
Heh, that’s cats
Doesn’t help she moved with two cats from a larger house to a much smaller house she now shared with me.
Oh those bastards are out of their territory trampling your plants?
Heh, that’s cats, bastards
You little shit!
because dogs are obedient, humans cats and other animals don’t take a few treats and pets to become subservient, a dog is so domesticated it isn’t an animal anymore, it’s a tool, an animal bred and trained for the sole purpose of being a police dog doesn’t have choice and doesn’t say no. I haven’t slept in a while and I don’t know if I’m saying nonsense but dogs are the last socially acceptable minions, I’ve noticed that the moment westerners stopped making it socially acceptable to make their kids minions they had a decline in wanting to have kids.
nobody has ever decided not to have kids because they believed they couldn’t be controlling over them, lol
I’ve noticed that the moment westerners stopped making it socially acceptable to make their kids minions they had a decline in wanting to have kids.
Would this happen to be at the same time that the cost of everything, especially raising kids, began to skyrocket while wages stagnated/fell? That really would be some coincidence
yeah, I didn’t sleep well
All good friend. I don’t completely disagree anyway, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head here when it comes to conservatives specifically. These are the people constantly whining about falling (white) birth rates and yet they view/treat their children as property. The same people that kick their own children out on the street if they find out the kid is gay. And of course theyre removing any and all economic support for actually raising children.
And there’s 10s of millions of these people in the US alone
It’s a distinctly reactionary angle, because these are also people who do not actually respect their dogs
They like their dogs, but their dogs are their property
This is why they have such contempt about other animals, because they view them as invaders or detritus
This seems like an extreme generalization.
oh boy, here come all the obnoxious dog hate comments under the post about obnoxious dog lovers.
I don’t hate or dislike dogs. And there’s a bazillion dog owners who aren’t a problem. I’m just wondering who the fuck thinks getting a dog out of Palestine is a priority over the dog’s human companion.
Oh no I agree, just feel like there’s this anti-dog, pro-cat bias in leftist spaces that flairs up sometimes. Heck r/TrueAnon had a whole thread about how dog owners are reactionary (can’t find it now for whatever reason). I agree a lot of dog owners are asshole but as a dog owner myself some of the dog-hate circle jerking I see here irks me slightly.

New struggle session just dropped.
…dog people and authoritarians have a large overlap: in-group / out-group, it’s all a thing…
the western brainpan is only capable of caring about life they deem fit to be pets.
Oh.
Yeah… that is just bullshit. I want to be mad but I’m just sad. Offering to take away his companion to appease your own idea of morals.
I question if western cultures have real empathy for other humans.If the internet had been overflowing with pictures of zionist stormtroopers torturing cats and dogs and bombing pet hospitals the way we have seen them do to human beings, the “state of Israel” would have been nuked off the map by now.
I’ve seen a couple videos of Zionists killing or torturing cats. I think some of them associate cats with Arabs/Muslims.
At this point, who can be surprised that they’re also doing that?
The dog wouldn’t want to die without him. Dogs are almost like our symbiotes.
Even though I’d set up the cat tree on her insistence, Donut jumped straight onto my neck and settled in.
“Goodnight, Carl,” she said.
“Goodnight, Donut,” I said, patting her head.
“Promise me you won’t let me die alone like GumGum’s mom,” she said. “Or GumGum. I guess she died alone, too. She was probably really scared.”
“Don’t worry, Donut,” I said. “We’ll find out who’s responsible, and we’ll make them pay.”
I’m just reading the “Dungeon Crawler Carl” series (which includes “The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook”) and he sort of inherits his ex-girlfriends cat Donut. Then the earth is flattened by aliens because we failed to file and appeal 50 years after first content and Carl is forced into a Running Man style dungeon for the alien’s entertainment. Luckily his cat Donut evolves and becomes intelligent and can shoot magic missiles out of her eyes. She later says:
“You promised me that I wouldn’t die alone,” she said. “You can’t keep that promise if you die before me. We do this together.”
