Two 8-month-old pit bulls that were loose in Nanaimo attacked several children, severely injuring at least one. Other people that came to aid the children were also injured.

The children were playing in a yard at the house of one of their friends. The dogs were from somewhere else in the neighborhood and had been cited for being at large previously.

One of the owners of the dogs came and got the dogs but did not stick around. The news interviewed the other owner, a Dangerhair that looked to be in her late 40s or early 50s. While she was devastated at what her dogs had done, she said to the reporter, "People are saying, look at this from the prospective of a parent, well, these dogs are my kids, too," and then she broke down crying.

It was later reported both dogs were euthanized, as there have been other incidents prior to this one, and due to the severity of the injuries the one particular child sustained.

To the dangerhair dog owner I would have to say, "If these dogs were your KIDS, you did a lousy job of raising them. Thank heavens you didn't spawn any of your own."

We need a separate thread on this shit, as everything pitnutters do, I saw general dog people do.

Sounds good, but it needs to be heavily moderated at the start to avoid endless arguments. The Farms has its fair share of users whom are so far removed from reality, they fail to realize animals have different needs than humans.

Exporting animals to certain countries isn't cheap either. I've known Australians who were quoted between 5-10k to bring a dog back with them which was deterrent enough to keep them from getting one at all while they were abroad for several years.

Yeah I also question the wisdom of getting a pet in such a situation, but finding a new home for their SWF (small white n fluffy) is hardly the most irresponsible thing anyone has ever done. The dog might be sad for a bit but cmon, it’s gonna be fine and it is in no way comparable to giving up a child.

I do feel bad for these people because I think they honestly DON’T realize that a pet is not the same as a child and that getting rehomed to a roughly equivalent situation isn’t some enduring “trauma” for the pet. There are truly some wires crossed in their brains or something.

Honestly, it’s probably LESS “traumatic” to the dog than hauling them in cargo overseas and then weeks in an isolation kennel or whatever the f.

To be fair I think that's most people, A lot of people who act rational and logical throw that out the window completely the moment animals are brought up
it's why I propose a general pet thread instead since a lot of derangement happens everywhere with dog and cat people being the most prominent
I saw a few kiwis in that one thread about the retard who got bit by his own snake talking about the reptile community being a mess and i'd imagine other pet communities having their own flavor of derangement

. Years ago my dad got a retired and disabled police dog (Malinois); we were all very wary of her and my mom wasn't a fan, but again she didn't force his dog on us and over time we did come to accept her.

Ironically police dogs are some of the most gentle towards humans because they're specifically selected for being extremely friendly to humans. If they show inappropriate aggression towards humans, they're not selected.

I second a Dog Culture thread. I argued with a woman the other day who was chewing out a family who had to rehome a dog after losing their job/home/work visa and being forced to move back overseas. This crazy b word was telling them “would you ABANDON your CHILD like this!!!”

I would kill a human to save my dog. A pet is a family member. It may not be human, and it may not be treated like a human, but they're more intelligent than some waste of space humans we have on this fucking earth, they do nothing but love you regardless of how many mistakes you make, they try their best for you, and they do nothing but give. If I have to go back overseas, you bet my fuckin ass I would throw my life savings to make it happen that the dog comes with me. That's what I would do for a fuckin family member that was human. Just because it doesn't have as many legal rights as humans doesn't mean it holds less value than a retard who contributes nothing to society just because the retard is human.

I feel like nothing on KF is heavily moderated and that's for the best imo. A thread on the Disney phenomenon of people attributing human personality/personifying animals in general might be a better catch all for crazies who think their pet is the equivalent of a human child.

I’m guessing you don’t have children. If you lose your job and have to move back overseas, your life savings needs to go toward ensuring the welfare of your children while you get your shit together. Your dog is not a child and it is not irresponsible to rehome it if you need to look after your actual family.

 

[Paper Machete]

People across history have always had close attachments to animals but the current furmom/dad thing is a very specific type of new crazy that I honestly think began with marketing bullshit and consumerism. The pet industry is worth a lot of money and most of that is on frivolous, luxury items. Pushing the idea dogs/cats want to be treated a particular way and that it's part of your "identity" as a dog/cat person is largely what has given rise to this IMO. As well as it being something people feel they can market themselves as on social media. Their "brand" is as the dog parent. I would wholeheartedly love a specific thread on these types.

If you give away something that loves you unconditionally and does you no wrong, you've lost the plot. I will have children one day with my man.

A dog is not a child. I don't treat my dog like a child and I get grossed out when people call me his "mommy" or he "my baby". But a dog is still a family member. I'd do the same for my sister or my mother or my child. It doesn't matter if they came from my vagina. Family loyalty for the good members doesn't seem to be a strong cultural trait for Americans/English.

y'all can cope and seethe about not giving a shit about your dog but I'd kill if it meant saving that lil nigga who did no wrong.

The dog is going to be fine. The family found a new set of yuppies to care for it. You’re acting like they’re taking it out back to shoot it lmao.

And yes, it does matter when it’s your own kid. It matters very much. It is a vast universe of matter that you will never understand until you have one yourself. At which point you will look at your pets, your friends, even your mother and sister and whatever and you will realize “wow, I thought I understood love, but I did not. I only knew a few facets of love and now, in my arms, I hold the whole jewel.”

That’s why it is so incredibly retarded to compare a pet to your child.

Did you read my post? At no point did I compare a pet to a child. I compared it to a family member. Jesus fucking christ you people are retarded.

The feelings I have for my dog are the same that I hold for my father and my sister. It's a love that is not extended to many others. And it's the same feeling I will likely have for my child in the future. There's no shame in that. You're trying to fault someone for caring for a dog (which has the intellectual capacity to love another species back) as they would their own father who gifted them that dog.

You people have become jaded to this concept of agape and it's kind of disturbing.

You said

It doesn't matter if they came from my vagina

But it absolutely does matter when it’s a child you grew in your body. It matters very very much. You will be absolutely shocked, I promise you. It is NOT the same love that you have for anything or anyone else.

I see what you mean. However: that child will receive agape the same as my father and my sister and that I have received and that my dog, a family member, receives. And what if I can't have children? It would still change nothing. I know the power of agape. If I never love a dog as a child, so be it. But the love I feel for my father and my sister is what gives me the power to move mountains for them. Likewise for my family member, the dog. We should not see the dog merely as an object; we shouldn't cast aside our adopted family member just because it conveniences us to.

 

[Halmaz]

This is a very weird topic to argue about. I more or less agree with both of you. I would absolutely go out of my way to find a solution to keep the dog. If for some reason, there is no feasible way for me to bring it with me, or I deem it would be detrimental for the dog , I would rehome it with a very heavy heart.

 

[cybertoaster]

It can be downright impossible due to zoonotic disease risk.

I been to third world countries and even they didn't fuck around with that.

Can we get back to hating Pitts? If you dislike dogs make a different thread.

 

[Nameless One]

Much as I dislike pitbulls and want them gone (humanely through mass sterilization), they are truly among God's most unfortunate creatures given that this is the standard of who "cares" for them. None of these puppies or that dog should exist, and without the trashy owner here allowing this dog to roam around the neighborhood unspayed this situation wouldn't have happened. It's truly amazing how much the pitbull epidemic shows the wounds of sin on the world.

They are nowhere near God's creatures as they were manmade through breeding Bulldogs and Terriers for shameful dogfighting and now we are stuck with them diluting the gene pool. My prayer is God patches this glitch but free will is a curse sometimes.

 

[InsulindianPhasmid]

I’d welcome a general dog culture thread too.
I’ve just come back from a trip with friends and one of the party brought their dogs, one of which is a poorly trained, neurotic mess of a Labrador who was a pain in the ass throughout

We've been hearing about "crazy cat ladies" our entire lives, for entire generations even, but it seems that "crazy dog people" are far more prevalent and much much worse. I realized this a long time ago.

Just a general crazy pet people thread would be fun/stress inducing. A friend tried to support small pet supply businesses and said there were always crazy people especially in nice areas. Owners who expected new employees to know their dog's name or they'd get upset, people who would complain they could get vegan dog food cheaper online before buying in-store anyway, didn't want certain colored leashes in case their dog was misgendered etc.

I've never heard of a crazy cat lady's pets mauling babies to death.
