What do you propose? Make all of humanity less shitty?
You'd have better luck implementing Communism.

Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
That's bad I agree but I'd like attention brought to humans who still suffer, all over the world. I wonder if we use the resources for saving our pets to save humans instead, how many humans could we save? Unfortunately some people would choose to save a pet instead of a human. Until every human is safe and healthy, I would put pets last on things to attend to.
Lack of resources and necessity will force humanity to mature, or humanity will die.
People should do what they can, vote, volunteer, try not to be shitty. I do not think most of people will change until it becomes non optional.
+1 for calvin and hobbes
+1 for futurama
I'll ponder the much larger global problems of suffering humans, thanks. I give my charity to groups that help people in need. I love animals, but priorities are priorities.
My 2 furbabies are my family. I would do whatever it took to save either of them. I have told my boyfriend that if we were in a wreck or the house was on fire, if I could see he can help himself I'm helping our dogs first because they can't help themselves. Yes my priority is to my boyfriend (or any other family member) but my furbabies are just as important to me as they are.
While I’m against the killing of any animal that isn’t a danger I can’t say I care about people’s mock sadness while other animals are killed at much much higher numbers.

Most meat animals are kept on horrible conditions and live joyless life’s. If you are gonna fane sadness for one and not the other just because you find one cuter then your sadness is worthless.
You should have to take a quick class (for free. Online maybe) in order to own a non-caged pet. The amount of stupid people that shouldn't be anywhere near an animal but owns one anyways is appalling.
Same goes for having kids too. But that's a whole other issue...
I find the worst owners are those who abuse the animals (of course), and those that claim their life is all about their dog(s)/cat(s). Equally.
When you obsess over a life and treat it like an accessory, you have a mental issue and should not be responsible for a living being, ever. When all an animal is to you is a prop for your stupid fucking instagram posts to show how much of a caring nature and animal lover you are, you're a despicable piece of shit who can't foresee anything more than two feet in front of you. You're a moron.

While I agree with you on this (and I'm a firm believer that boys should get vasectomies once they hit puberty and then get a free reversal once they are ready to have kids and prove they can but that's a whole other discussion for somewhere else), my Facebook & IG have tons of photos of my 2 little ones. They aren't props at all. They are treated very well. Hell when they go with me to the store, I leave them inside the car with the windows rolled up with the A/C blasting and the car locked (thank you remote access locking system). We have taken our older one to the beach where she loves to run and chase the seagulls and play in the water. They routinely attend family functions with us. During the summer we take them to my grandma's and swim. They get treats routinely if they do a trick or as a reward for being good when they go to the groomer to get their nails filed or whatnot. You can't judge an animal lover & animal owner based on their FB or IG feeds but by their actions when others aren't looking.
People are assholes, this is well documented. I question your use of emotive writing and imagery to convey the problem though, reminds of those tiresome Oxfam adverts.
Do you propose a solution?

Yeah, as much as I don't particularly like the idea of eating dog meat, I feel like this is such a waste of resources. Bones and meat can be used for shit, man.
Its not a global problem. Dogs are not different from cows and we kill them in the thousands every day.
It might be a local problem if your shelter can take care of them, but its not a problem for all of us. Some people in South East Asia proberly sees it as a growing food supply.
May the lore be great and the stories interesting. A game without a story, is a game without a soul. Value the lore and it will reward you with fun!
Don't let yourself be satisfied with what you expect and what you seem as obvious. Ask for something good, surprising and better. Your own standards ends up being other peoples standard.
Yeah man lots of bad shit happens hey.
Everything has a cause and effect, life and death are the two extremes of it.
Lesser countries they usually rely on killing cats and dogs and less for food. In superior countries they are killed for being inconveniences but the outcome is the same regardless. For us in the superior nations, we can only try to educate each other on the responsibility of pet ownership being a long term commitment and the importance of de-sexing.
“to wear an improper expression on your face was itself a punishable offence. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: FACECRIME, it was called.”
You just have to do what you can do, you can’t control what other people do with animals no matter how much it affects you. This is something I learnt a long time ago.
I hate animal cruelty, in any sense of the word, I think generally animals come with much less problems and are generally kinder than humans. I was vegan for about 5 years, vegetarian for probably about 10, this was way before it became ‘cool’ and I’ll use that word lightly.
I grew up with animals, a dog, rabbits, a few cats, hamster etc. A family friend had ducks and I lived not too far from a farm and I used to chill with the cows etc.
It’s an extremely hard problem to solve because how can you give a penalty to someone who has mistreat or abandoned a dog/cat whilst the same country literally slaughters millions of cows, chickens and pigs every single day and for anyone to say those animals are different they are wrong, they are as different as dogs are to cats but they just the same when it comes to understanding love and emotions etc.
I literally used to take my dog to the farm and sat with a cow most weeks and the cow literally acted just like my dog, same temperament, to me they were just the same.
I sent myself crazy to some extent with how the world works. I openly sourced out information about animal cruelty and watched and witnessed what happened, especially to cows. It’s mainly inhumane, especially the milk industry.
I got tired of caring, honestly it’s draining so I now choose to ignore it, I am neither vegan or vegetarian and I eat most meats. I often feel hypocritical and conflicted about myself because I simply do care about animals but I just can’t be bothered caring enough about it anymore, it’s really shitty these dogs were put down because people were shit but that’s life, the majority of the world has shitty people doing shitty things every single day.
Regarding the poster who said he would strangle kids to have a moment with his dog, whilst he was obviously being sarcastic which was undeniably easy to figure out I understand his sarcastic post with a hint of truth, obviously he wouldn’t do that but to him his dog meant more to him than some random person, I have a cat, I love her, she’s my little buddy who chills with me because my world is my world she is important to me because she has a personality and I love her, she means more to me than anyone of you on this forum. I don’t mean it harshly but I don’t know any of you and my cat is my cat, it’s just obvious isn’t it?
Cough syrup for sick people. Advil for hurt people. And jeans for human comfort. Thank you for proving my point that humankind is first and foremost the most important thing worth worrying about.
And when you work your way down many many hierarchies\tiers you get to animals. And of all the "pressing" animal issues, the one this thread is about, isn't even at the top.
TLDR; I pity the person that explains why my argument is correct, by presenting their mentally deficint argument. SMH.
No. It is not a problem. You say it is, because you think it is, and you are wrong. It's ok to be wrong; it's not ok to realize you're wrong, and not change. They are animals, they are, without question, by nature, of less import than a large number of other issues because of what they are.
It's a value system, a simple one, and your problem is that you're assigning incorrect values to things.
PS: You are indeed a racist fuck for going after Asians because they eat dogs\cats. You're using your emotional bias to demonize something. There is zero difference between a cat\dog, and any other animal we consume, other than we (humans) have selectively bred them genetically to display properties we value in pets, as opposed to properties we value for food. You're entire basis is standing on your emotions, not facts.
My fiance who is Vietnamese, and my fiance's sibling never have, nor will eat dog meat, even though their parent(s) love dog meat. Their only inhibition is that they think dogs are cute, and are for pets, not eating. That's simply elevating something on the basis of emotions. My first trip to Vietnam I am most definitely feasting on some roasted doggo, as I enjoy both new foods and all kinds of meat.
