A pet is still family, no lesser for being a different species, and this is obvious to any decent person.

Getting life and finances together to own a home (own and not pay mortgage or rent) and start a family is way more important than owning a pet!


This

The worst kind of gals are those who can barely make ends meet or take care of themselves... then decide to buy a pet.

And yet, every other broke-ass waitress and walmart cashier chick has their dog or their zillion cats, then wonder why they're broke all the time?

On the other hand, the baby boomer generation thought that their actual children were pets.

right, more like cattle. set the system up to drain us in order to support them. then complain when we dont spend enough and their businesses die all the while not understanding why that is amd labels them just lazy

After seeing a number of couples who got a pet together who then broke up and had no strategy for dealing with the pet, I think more people should take it seriously.

Why do you care? They're taking care of a living thing that brings joy to their lives.

You must be a super fun person to be around at parties, or life in general.

I'm not against pets. I've had and loved dogs and cats all my life. They are like family to me. I just hate that term so much for some reason.


Well, they're kin, which is a synonym for family. I understand the latent disgust with using the term family though. Dog owners who refer to their dogs as shit like "fur babies" and don't instill their alpha imprint on their dog, generally have pets who aren't well trained and won't fucking listen, but "dawww iddn't he pweshus".


The alpha imprint thing is tricky. You dont have to be a dick to your dog because you control the resources: he eats when you want to, if you want to, and you feed him.


It is very tricky and you're right, it's not about being a dick to them, but it sorta is because it's predicated on making sure the dog doesn't see itself as being on the same level as you, via things like not letting it sleep in your bed as you're imprinting on it. I definitely don't think it's wrong to cuddle with your dog or show them love at all, but it's like how you shouldn't give a dog human food because that's the start of the begging routine.... a dog needs structure to flourish. If the structural support of the relationship dynamic isn't established with some attention, you get those people with dogs who just don't listen to you when guests are around.

I mean... you don't even need to be heavy handed to achieve the goal, but the people with "fur babies", the obnoxious ones who don't even do that and do the wrong thing from the get go of spoiling the dog, like it's a baby.. they disgust me. Like people who have crying babies on an airplane or in a movie theater and there's no real timely attempts to calm the child or take the infant out of the theater so that other don't have to hear it cry over the movie... or like the parents of young children that let their children act out in public and then get mad when another person has a negative reaction to the most innocent jewel this earth has ever seen.... I don't have kids, but I sure as shit know animals. Incapable dog owners annoy me. Bad dog owners disgust me.

Yeah I read an article sometime ago saying major pet food companies are losing money on mass produced pet food because millenials would prefer to feed their pets relatively expensive food.

Or something like that don't take my word for it

Those Cesar dog foods (the ones that come in a square white container) can have expiry dates that are 3-4 years out from when you buy them.

Why the fuck would you feed that to your dog

Instead of owning a dog or pet. They should put all that effort into finding a real man and getting their life in order and enjoying the freedom of not owning and taking care of a pet.

Pets can come later in established households.

Pets can be wonderful company.

Sure, you shouldnt have a pet if you cant financially maintain it. But dont have a pet if youre single is dumb.

If someone is lonely and miserable why for her to stay like that when at least they can have a pet?

Generally girls like dogs to fill a void in their life. Maybe daddy issues or generally bad boy friends. Or they could be real easy so the dog is something stable in their life.

Of all people you shouldnt talk about empathy. So you can have empathy for a cat and criticize those who dont, but have no problem with blatant racism and have 0 empathy for people of color? Lmao

I'd like you to reference a single time where I was blatantly racist.

Usually that stems from a poor upbringing or they're in a bad place socially and mentally. Since they are on CE I'm willing to bet they have plenty of issues.

There are so many things to factor in for a pet's health now. Flea medication, vaccinations, etc. You don't have to be obsessed with your pet to want to take care of those things.

You would have to be a real piece of poop to just buy an animal on the corner and throw it in the backyard like they did in the old days. It would probably end up covered in fleas and infested with internal parasites. Not a good life.

That reminds me of the dog I had as a kid. It was always outside on a leash. It didn't have a doghouse. I don't ever recall anyone walking it.

Since it was so inactive, I grew tired of it after a while...

other end of the spectrum, my mom rehomed the two dogs she adopted because it was hard to potty train them

she did this twice, with two different sets of dogs, adopted 20 years apart

minimal effort was made to locate their new homes. she found someone on her community exchange who said they would take them in, gave them to that person, moved on. did not inform the rescue.

that hurt my respect for her. i was glad at least she didnt buy puppies.

Its pathetic how seriously people take pets in general. A stray dog has more rights and is more likely to be rescued than a homeless person.


A dog is a million times easier to 'rescue' than someone experiencing homelessness.
