Cats and dogs are cute pets, but can people please stop pretending they are useful or really love you?
>muh heckin doggo protects my property! muh heckin doggo hunts, muh heckin doggo herds!
No, if your heckin doggo is that aggressive they will objectively bite more innocent people and be put down before defending you from anything. If they hunt, you would get more food and eat less with a gun instead of another mouth to feed, and unless you run a multimillion dollar ranch a fence is more effective than a dog.
>muh kitterino exterminates the heck rattos
No, cats have never been able to do this, or they would eat one of their most important food sources into extinction. Cats and rodents live in harmony. They're only a danger to rare songbirds in australia.
>muh heckin dog loves me because i am the alpha and command respect!
No, your dog is a self interested and manipulative animal that thinks it is exploiting you for food. At the most it is afraid to leave because it's used to you and is afraid of new things.
>muh heckin kitty CHOSE me because cats are independent and don't need us!
Cats are domesticated animals that are not able to survive well in the wild without a nearby human settlement to mooch off. All domesticated animals need humans to survive because they are smaller, dumber, and do not respond to threats correctly. Like the dog it mostly stays by you due to food and familiarity. I am sure either pet could chose to live without you and just eat trash and vermin like all the lone strays wandering around the third world.
Unironically my dog actually does catch rats. She also does love me.
IDK about commanding respect. I don't really need respect, I just need her to do what I say so she doesn't get run over.
Whoa check out the big brain on this guy! I bet everyone rrally respects him in real life!

I love my dog. I dont care if he loves me back.
In a study researchers found the love hormone (oxytocin) in dogs whenever meet their owners. So dogs love their owners.
shut up narcissist
>have chickens
>start losing chickens to predators
>get livestock guardian dog
>introduce it to our chickens, hold them together
>dog instantly gets it
>dog gets to lounge around our farm and eat kibble
>every so often hear it tear after a fox or coyote in the woods
>chicken losses drop to nearly nothing
Totally not useful
I don't love my dog. It's farm equipment like any other kind of livestock or domestic animal. It finds birds and causes them to fly out of cover, I shoot the bird, and it brings the bird back. If it does a good job then it gets rewarded.
Simple as.
I was with you until you said that shit... you are just pathetic
anti-british bigot
you think a trained animal to perform tasks is aggressive??? what? if dogs were not useful for jobs they wouldnt have been bred to perform them you dum dum
>my dog isn’t aggressive he’s trained to attack you
😐
who gives a frick
I have a cat because he looks cute and is fun to be around.
Imagine being such an insecure bugman that you have to come up with some dull utilitarian wagie justification for having a pet
The truth petgays don’t want to hear
They just exploit socialization and conditioning to make a moronic animal (cat/dog) afraid to leave them
>but social benefit!
man up. being alone is fine.
