Prefacing this by saying that I like cats and dogs. I'm just really fricking tired of people saying shit along the lines of "Oh I LOVE animals and my precious furbaby and anyone who dislikes animals shouldn't be trusted"
...and then they'll see a snake/tarantula/frog or even a less conventional but still mammalian animal like a rabbit or domesticated ungulate and here come the jokes about wanting to step on them, bake them into pies, etc. Of course if you said this about the dog/cat they have an unhealthy obsession with they'd flip their shit but no It's perfectly acceptable to joke about physically harming lizards and birds.
It's so obvious these mentally ill cat/dog normies don't actually give a frick about any other animals and I wish they'd stop pretending. 9 times out of ten their dog is poorly trained and is never let outside, and they never clean their cats litterbox or give it proper toys to hide, scratch, and play with.

I do not hurt animals, and I refuse to get my nutrition by destroying nature. I only hurt humans and consume their flesh and no I don't need my "wendussy" ate.
a lot of people say that dog looks like a friend of mine
I witnessed a vegan friend with 4 cats smash a wolf spider (with an egg sac) and then proceed to murder all of the babies that exploded out with cleaning chemicals. It disturbed me.
poor spider
House probably smells like cat shit
It's okay to have preferences
>We don't like scavengers
I love them because they're extremely important for their ecosystems, humanity is moronic
>Little urge to preserve drooling animals
>What are drooling dog breeds
Humanity is moronic x2
>Let's exterminate everything except our food and animals that look like our babies because I don't wanna have kids but the parental instincts are still strong
Humanity is moronic x3
One of my friends is a vegan who constantly uses pets as an example of why killing animals will always be wrong, so I go out of my way to talk about how I would 100% eat dog/cat if it were raised as food and prepared by a cook.
I also talk about how the feral cats in the woods near me are an overpopulous invasive pest and I like shooting at them because they're filthy, murderous mongrels that won't stop genociding my songbirds.
That being said, I love my dog and I love my cat. This broad love of dogs and cats above all other animals seems bizarre to me. People should love pets and not particularly care too much about non-pets, regardless of the species.
>so I go out of my way to talk about how I would 100% eat dog/cat if it were raised as food and prepared by a cook
based, me too. these morons don't seem to understand that there's a huge difference between
>animal raised as pet
and
>animal raised as livestock
there may not be a difference in SPECIES but there certainly is a difference in how they're raised, what food and medicine they're given, etc. horses is a good example. i would 100% eat horse meat but if that horse were a racehorse? frick no, who knows what they've given it, i don't want to eat my ketamine thanks.
I live in the woods. Obviously because I hate feral cats killing the bird population that I cultivate around my house.
I say that so that I can add that I have had many animals over the years. I had a pet goat when I was a kid, her name was Sheba. I would never have dreamed of eating Sheba. However, I've eaten goat several times and in fact like goat meat a lot.
I've had pet chickens, and I've had feral cats kill my pet chickens. I would have killed and eaten those goddamn cats any day over those chickens, that's for sure. I've also had non-pet chickens whose heads I've chopped off and plucked with my grandfather.
There is ZERO cognitive dissonance at any point here because there's a pretty obvious distinction from "These are my pets, therefore they are my family members." and "These are livestock, therefore the deal between us is that I will protect and care for them to the best of my ability and in exchange I'm going to eat them at some point."
I think the issue with these types of people are that they're sheltered and have never been around non-pet animals so they have no ability to discern between them. To them, every animal is a pet. At best they don't really comprehend where their food comes from, at worst they become a vegan pussy with an out of touch, bleeding-heart moral system at odds with their own fundamental nature as omnivore.
I will pet and love every crusty dog. That was my inheritance.
Never understood the whole "omg dogs are loyal and pure" meme. They are simple food motivated creatures no more loyal than cats, any love is conditional and can be traded with extra scraps of meat. Why do you think so many shelter dogs are easy to rehome? A dumb uninteresting animal for dumb uninteresting people
Look another provably wrong birdgay post
You are allowed to believe whatever you want, even if you are wrong.
>doubles down on being a moron
i farm quail for dog food
despite having the best food my wife's dog doesn't like me
my dog does tho
just thought i'd let you know
>my wife's dog
This sounds extremely cucked ngl
Do you hand feed your dog the quail or does your wife do the feeding?
You should get off the internet once in a while
you didn't answer my question
>"animal lover"
>eats meat
>"But they are pasture raised and humanely slaughtered"
You don't need to eat meat to survive.
Yeah, I do, and there's more than one way to use the word love.
I will love watching every single vegan in the US starve or go back to behaving normally when the economy gets eastern europe levels of bad and all those fortified processed foods, imported veggies, and mass manufactured supplements become increasingly scarce and they suddenly remember that humans evolved to eat meat and depend on it, and just like cats don't stop being obligate carnivores because you can cook up a meat substitute with the right supplements, humans don't stop being carnivores either.
Wait till you see how much the government subsidizes animal agriculture lmao
They should subsidize it more.
Do you want food to cost more than it already does or something?
his mom buys and pays for his food so he doesnt have to worry
based moron completely missing the point
sounding pretty rattled there
Maybe your moronic point is the problem here
It’s subsidized but doesn’t have to be. Vegans literally can not eat without the aid of gigacorps and modern technology only they can afford and maintain. There’s a difference.
It’s not hypocrisy unless you’re some batshit insane buddhist. Not all animals have the same worth.
>vegans can only survive on beyond(tm) meat
dumbass
What did you over the weekend and what part of the world do you live in?
What did you *eat
No anon. Inside our mouths are canine teeth, designed by evolution (or by God) to eat meat. Our bodies are designed to desire and process meat proteins. It is possible to eat an animal and still hold respect for it. It is possible to raise an animal for meat and still want it to have good living conditions and have respect for its life and sacrifice. "You love animals yet you eat them, curious..." is a very shallow mindset. Think bigger
This thread had nothing to do with the ethics of eating meat and everything to do with simply not being a weirdo around other people's animals, but you mouth breathing spergs just can't help yourselves.
>"I loooove nature"
>takes part in a society that actively destroys it
Nobody's perfect.
Vegans wonder why everyone else consider them massive gays.
I had dogs and cats for most of my life and now I'm just tired of dealing with them. The peace and quiet is nice and I like being able to leave the house for several days without a care in the world.
millenials and zoomers are not people. they are glassy eyed automatons whose brain has been destroyed by the internet. these babies were underage during 2000.
>and here come the jokes about wanting to step on them, bake them into pies, etc.
I have never heard anyone make those kinds of jokes. Who are you talking to?
NTA, but I've met some of these people at work as both a tarantula and lizard owner. of course some of them also thought that my pets are cool.
you have to admit that the spider and reptile people are a bit weird
birds are based if they are farm animals or live in a spacious outdoor aviary they can fly around in
Oh of course I'm not denying fish, lizard, and even bird people are weirdos, I just don't see these less conventional pet owners casually making jokes about "KILLING IT WITH FIRE!!!!11" when they see a man walking his dog down the street. Because it's only fine to joke about killing and/or eating someones pet if they aren't a cat or dog. It's really fricking embarrassing and obnoxious, especially when they still claim to be animal lovers (ie they love dogs and cats but they will scream if they see a spider in their bedroom and are the kind of obnoxious zoo visitors that will bellow "OH HELL NO!!!" When they see a monitor lizard or something.
Do you eat meat?
Yes but if you are trying to start some kind of vegan/vegetarian argument here it really shouldn't contradict any points I am making.
I guess some background. I both work and volunteer at nature centers, pet rescues, and wildlife rescues. I often interact with the public. Since these buildings are in a forest with lots of hiking trails, dos are allowed inside as long as they are kept away from our animal rooms. I often see this archetype of a young man or woman doting on their dog and claiming they love animals, only to act like a spooked cartoon character when they see anything with scales or more than 4 legs. And they can't be subtle about it, I swear they are trying to be as dramatic as possible. As for incidents I don't witness in person, it's easy to find posts on social media of people joking about eating or killing someone's rabbit, spider, etc under photos of people sharing these pets. You check their profiles and sure enough, they own a dog or a cat. My tolerance for this kind of behavior has only gotten weaker and I'm tired of the double standard and hypocrisy.
Whoops meant to respond to
as well
>Yes
Lol ok. opinion discarded
I mean if you want to be a complete moron and discard objective facts based on a lifestyle choice that doesn't detract from anything I say then that's your problem, not mine.
>NOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST TREAT SOME ANIMALS WORSE THAN OTHERS!! ALL ANIMALS ARE HECKIN EQUAL!!!
>oh except the ones i pay to be murdered so i can eat their flesh, they don't count because uhhh.... IT'S A LIFESTYLE CHOICE, OKAY??!?
Are you braindead? I never mentioned anything about disliking people making jokes about eating peoples pets because of the morality of eating meat. This is all about people not acting like freaks in public settings and making jokes about killing or eating someone else's pet. Y'know because that shouldn't be a socially acceptable behavior to engage in. Get better reading comprehension.
Major mental gymnastics.
Why do you care then?
>Major mental gymnastics
Using phrases you clearly don't understand in an inappropriate context doesn't help your case.
>why do you care then?
Because the double standard and hypocrisy from these dog/cat normies is annoying and obnoxious in public settings when you aren't irony poisoned and advantaged by the anonymity of the internet. I know that may be difficult to comprehend for troglodytes like you who never see the sun, but most people don't like it when jokes are made about stepping on/eating your pets no matter what species it is.
I've literally never seen a millennial dogfricker/toxo-carrier be a moron in public around exotic pets. Maybe people's inverts? But those mouthbreathers tend to be like 'OOOOOOHHHH I WANT OOONEEEE' when it comes to other people's exotics. I'm not calling you a liar, I just don't think it's common.
I will admit that due to the nature of my profession (working at nature centers, and wildlife and exotics rehabs) I probably run into this special breed of human more often than the average person. But yeah, it is very annoying to deal with.
lel the state of this post
>NOOOO THEIR HYPOCRISY IS HURTING MY FEELINGS
you're a bigger hypocrite than they are. either grow a thicker skin or get off your high horse
This is like trying to explain the fundamental basics of human social etiquette to a gaggle of aliens who've never observed our species before and also happen to have severe brain damage. You've clearly never spent a normal amount of time outside and think that being an antisocial apathetic loser like you are on an anonymous basketweaving forum isn't going to get you dirty looks in the real world.
>grass munchers are soulless and callous creatures
T-thats ummm uhhhh a misfired instinct or something! Nothing to see here!
Psychopaths have fun too, before they knock you over and show no remorse from letting the wolves eat you
did a deer hurt you or something? That "leaving you to the wolves" thing seems very specific
>every black woman's crusty inbred unleashed pitbull on the brink of mauling the neighbor's kid
They're right, I don't trust people who don't like cats and I DEFINITELY don't trust people who don't like dogs. Not liking animals in general is sketchy i agree but for someone to actively dislike cats/dogs implies something wrong in their psyche
its because they feel empathy for us and we feel empathy for them. grass munchers are soulless and callous creatures who will sell you out to a pack of wolves for another five minutes chewing on a leaf and snakes would eat you if they were bigger.
A dog or cat displaying what you mistake as "empathy" towards humans does so because we provide said animal with food/water/shelter/attention. Dogs and cats would eat your corpse if you dropped dead in your living room. You can't reason with them either. They will bite and scratch the shit out of you if they feel threatened enough, no matter how well trained they are or what your intentions were. And you know what, you can't really blame them at the end of the day because they are animals. Assigning human traits to animals like this is part of the reason so many pet owners today end up owning poorly trained and neglected animals. At least reptile, bird, and fish owners usually understand the nature of the animal they are caring for. Dog and cat owners love deluding themselves into thinking their "fur babies" are more than just pets. That doesn't mean you can't love them but they aren't humans with human empathy and emotions and treating them like they are will only hurt you and said animal.
>JUST INSTINCTS
the mark of the midwit. you can also say any human is the same cant you?
Yes, they do actually love you. They are different and aren’t capable of deluding themselves into believing in magic.
Thats ok, so am I. I would eat my dead relatives because I did not grow up with judeo christian brainwashing. A dead body is just meat. The person is gone already. To say your pet would eat your corpse means nothing. Every human culture has practiced cannibalism before. Dead bodies are just that, bodies. Not people.
Yep. They love you. They have emotions. Emotions very similar to yours. They even smile. It has been proven they smile, despite “greater good” advice intended to keep NPCs from thinking panting and growling are how animals smile.
BUT they don’t have the same culture and never will. They aren’t capable of believing in a pure fantasy or having BECAUSE OK morals that have been long since abstracted from the real basis (fear). They can’t BECAUSE OK over a neurotic slippery slope fantasy either. They lack some things like shame. So do autists so… yeah. They are matter of fact minds that know they exist and think about stuff but never involve a single word and only have fuzzy recollections and expectations.
Same feelings, different minds.
>They lack some things like shame
So why do dogs always make this face when they take a shit?
Yep. Also dogs don't 'love' us, at least not in the way we conceptualize love. They have their own version of it but it's mostly an attachment to us because we provide food and mutual protection as in a pack. If you let it, most dogs will absolutely walk all over you and dominate figuratively speaking. This is the only reason they will protect their owner, if any random persob was getting beat or raped in front of them they wouldn't give two shits, while most people would intervene if not call the cops/take some sort of action. They certainly don't have empathy the way we do. People who treat their pet dog like a human are morons
My dog once ran over to me and put her paw on my shoulder when she saw how upset I was.
as cool as they are, a snake/turtle/spider/rabbit/hamster/etc will gleefully watch you get raped and shot by a robber, at least a dog would make some noise at the minimum
Cat haters are always hillarious and based in my experience
Dog haters arent really trustworthy
I don't really think anyone is a bad person simply because they don't like a certain animal, whether that's because the animals typical behavior doesn't mix well with their personality or if they had a traumatic experience with said animal. I just want them to act like fricking adults and not make their problem everyone else's business. If you scream when you see a tarantula behind some glass, it's obvious you are just doing it for attention like an unruly child.
I agree
I also find the flipside obnoxious like people who insist you need to touch and hold whatever animal
Like bro im not scared of your snake/spider/whatever i just dont need to hold it
It doesnt want me to hold it
I dont want rodent claw welts all over my arms
And so many people have straight up filthy smelly dirty cats and dogs with literal shit caked to their ass and the foulest breath youve ever smelled
I dont need that near me thanks
I agree, I handle animals all the time for my job and I'm always dirty and disgusting as soon as I get home, when I hit the showers I intend to stay clean without someone dumping their critter on me.
Dog owners are either Black folk or furgays.
you must have direct experience with this because you're both
Describing yourself as an "X hater" is an immediate troony red flag
if you hate eating tomatoes you would say i hate tomatos. its simple and to the point.
this is an impossible situation dogs are created to bark/bite the other animals have no ability to bark/bite. they will flee or hide in stress unless confronted directly they will resort to fight just like how a cat behaves.
yea i got you anon. i hear cat owners say "eww" or "gross" for rabbit/rat pets when a cat is equally a gross pet to keep
A cat is way grosser than a rat or especially a rabbit and cathomosexuals get personally offended when you serve their disgust back to them
>normal people are sensible about animals
that's why they are reproducing prolifically anon
These types of people tend to substitute their dog or cat for a spouse/child so I'm not sure what you mean.
