they need constatnt attention, you have to buy lots of food, you have to walk them, they smell like shit, they are always all over you and annoy you especially when eating or trying to watch a movie, they shit everywhere and piss on the floors, they chew up or rip apart furniture, cables, most anything left in their reach, many of them bite or maul people, and worst of all, THEY MAKE A SHITLOAD OF NOISE AT ALL HOURS.
you may love dogs (for some reason), but chances are you neighbors dont want to hear your animal howling all fucking night or early in the morning, or barking nonstop for hours on end while facing the fence at anything that moves, or nothing at all.
i will never understand why so many people have them.

no offense but do us all a favor and STFU ::)

I honestly feel the same way. Annoying as hell! I don't care if your dog is friendly or whatever I don't wanna pet it or want that dumb ass dog around me.
I just started feeling that way after my oldest daughter got bit by one for no reason at all.
All may not be this way, but I could live without them.
-
they need constatnt attention not really, you have to buy lots of food it isn't that expensive, you have to walk them you also get exercise, they smell like shit clean your dog regularly, they are always all over you basic training is the solutionand annoy you especially when eating put them in another room or outside or trying to watch a movie again basic training, they shit everywhere and piss on the floors again training, they chew up or rip apart furniture, cables, most anything left in their reach again training moron, many of them bite or maul people no they don't, and worst of all, THEY MAKE A SHITLOAD OF NOISE AT ALL HOURS. I agree this can be annoying
you may love dogs (for some reason), but chances are you neighbors dont want to hear your animal howling all fucking night or early in the morning, or barking nonstop for hours on end while facing the fence at anything that moves, or nothing at all. keep them inside or if you can't do that put them in a kennel over night
i will never understand why so many people have them. cause dogs are cool and cats suck
moron >:(

sounds like you guys have experienced terrible dogs. Kids are no different. I'm sure you all think your kids are the greatest in the world and could do no wrong. It's all your perception.

This is true. You may think a little different if your kid gets bit by one. I guarantee it

i dont have any fucking kids thank god.
i used to love dogs. but last couple years (since the dog owning fad/obsession swept the nation) i find every single possible idiot owning a dog for no other reason as just to have a dog because thats whats on tv/what people do.
ever since paris hilton got one of those little designer dogs and carried it in her purse it became the thing to do for girls, to get themselves a little designer 'dog' (more like a rat actually) whose sole purpose is to take pictures with to put onto myspace or so that someone visiting for 5 minutes can say 'oh how cute'.
the worst is that ALL neighborsnow have dogs, and no not discipline them at all. so at 5 am every morning, the barking/yipping begins. all fucking day at least one of them is barking its ass off at something. hear in clear as day insdie my own home.
ive moved since and its the same damn thing. ALL neighbors have dogs. noise all the fucking time. shit on the front lawn/walkway.
now i hate them.

People have owned dogs for ages. It's hardly a "new" thing.
And most people who own dogs don't do the whole Paris Hilton thing. I own a Labrador.....so i don't think i will be shoving him in a handbag anytime soon.

LOL, and yet "big" man and JOHN MATRIX are here posting on the pet board.....

Kids are more likely to get bit by other kids than dogs. Would you think different then?

Haha people love their pets too much... sometimes more than people;kissing them in their mouth, wiping their ass. They are freakin' pets! It's crazy how far people go. Dressing them in coats, spending tons on dog food, vets, man fug that. Is it really worth it?
Sure kids bite kids? Don't really understand what point your making? Usually kids don't draw blood or get viciously bitten requiring stitches.

I never trust a person that doesn't like dogs, they usually have trust, intimacy, and communication problems.

You're claiming to take issue with a creature whose main purpose in life is to love humans, that seems indicative of personal issues.

Read my post. I told my personal issues with dogs. My daughter has a 2inch scare on her face that she has to live with for life.... No personal issues with dogs until that happened. My younger brother was bitten by ''our'' house dog twice when he was younger cause he went into its ''personal space''
Keep trusting them. They will let you down sooner or later. If they don't bite you it will be someone else and you'll be shellin' out the dough.
I have no issue with you dude. Just dogs. Your taking it personal 8)

Quoted for truth.
Also cats are disgusting and it's impossible to have a clean home with them.

Dogs bite when owners fail. I work with dogs, I've owned dogs all my life. I know what I'm talking about.

People have different experiences in life no? History has told me dogs aren't trust worthy with some exceptions of course, but I would rather not chance it. Again your taking this way too serious

youre in the minority if that tells you anything, you should take a step back and form an objective opinion instead of a biased on.

False. I am in the Majority of people who don't own dogs for the reasons explained by me and others. Again, as I've been explaining, if your kid was hurt by one your opinion would change also. If you don't understand and respect my opinion I don't care. Seeing what my daughter has to live with gives me my reason. My opinion is justified. Some of you love your dogs too much. Maybe try loving a human. It's more worth it.
I said what I've said and I'm done with this thread. People take dogs way too seriously. I must have hurt feelings, crazy

pls link me to proof of that b/c ive never heard that.
Sorry to hear about your daughter i really am, is it possible for you to tell us what happened? was it your dog? I dont own a dog right now due to space but i have been around dogs of all types all my life, some would bite you given the chance, most wouldnt key is knowing the difference and not putting yourself in the situation to get bit.

People are lonely, especially for childrenless people, having pets is almost like a substitute. Just look on the boards.

The claim that a dog's main purpose is to love humans is readliy contestable.

Fuck all of you dog haters. You're entitled to your own opinion but your attitude and anger is severely misguided.
Dogs are loyal companions who deserve to be treated well in return. If I've had a tough day or I don't seem happy, my dogs can sense that and they try to cheer me up. Maybe the dogs that some of you speak of are mistreated by their owners. Ever think of that?
For the most part, there's a pretty good chunk of people on this planet that pretty much suck as human beings. By comparison, the majority of dogs in this world are incapable of being phony and their love and respect to their owners are genuine. Most of the time, I'll take the latter comparative ratio when it comes to companionship.
So you dog haters can go eat a dick.... :-*

Sure I can. She and other kids were playing in the house running around being kids and the dog got overly exited and started snapping at them chasing their feet and biting at their clothes and whatnot. It may have been playing, who knows, but it went way too far.
Dogs do get jealous of newborns or any company you may have over. This is true. Too territorial. Watch the reaction they have next time some uninvited company comes over.
Thanks for asking to man. It's silly how someone couldn't understand how I feel when my child was hurt, strange?

was it your dog? a friends dog? that behavior of snapping at their feet should have been stopped right then and there the dog was trying to herd the kids like cattle. I had a friend when i was younger that had 2 boxers and they would rip my socks literally they would rip my socks right off my feet if i wore some...always thought it was funny when i was younger but you have to know what to look for. No I agree i wouldnt leave young kids unattended with a big dog or a dog that i wasnt comfortable with. Dogs need to know their place and if you let them do what they want i.e. herd the children then you cant blame them really when they snap at them too. That reaction to uninvited company maybe just them being protective of their owners its in their nature just like some dogs to herd ppl. If its to aggresive it needs to be checked and they need to be taught. Dogs are pretty intelligent or at least intelligent enough to understand whats acceptable and whats not maybe not why but they can learn what they can do and cant do.

Whatever you say, bro. I stand by my comments. If you're a dog hater, then go take my advice and eat a dick. Don't forget to brush afterwards.

My comments are aimed at those who share the opinion that "dogs are pieces of shit". Nice thread topic, by the way. Don't strain your brain with that plethora of originality, MATRIX.
You don't like dogs, fine. Not everyone does and that's ok. Don't own one. But some of the reasons stated in this thread that are supposed to justify why dogs are "pieces of shit" are absolutely retarded.

That's totally understandable. Dogs can be trained to obey and be loyal this is indisputable. I don't hate dogs as in I want them erased off the earth. I would just rather not deal with them or have them around my kids or furniture cause they tear up stuff. Just too much hassle for me and my trust is not there anymore.
Thanks for being level headed dude

People who fail regularly at 'real' relationships commonly have pets. Having something around totally dependent upon them fills an emotional hole. No need to take things so personally.

what about those that have good families and friends that have pets? LOL thats pretty generalized kaje i think you have a preconcieved notion of paris hilton with her little rat as the common dog owner.
-
Don't forget that dogs are:
search and rescue tools
used for fighting crime
aids to the disabled
aids to the sick
aids to the rehabilitation of the prison population
used in the military
and on numerous occasions have performed great feats of heroism at the expense of their own safety.
I think this thread should be locked, as it has no business on a board about pets.

It wasn't a blanket statement. There are certainly 'normal' people with pets though I personally can't see any use for non working animals.

Dogs are looking for leadership but it need not be human; they are barely removed from wolves in their behavioural evolution. That was my point. An alpha man or an alpha dog, both work equally well.

No surprise, especially since you're part of the animal kingdom. ::)

So at 5 years old, I was failing at my relationships & realized that I needed pets?
Having something around totally dependent upon them fills an emotional hole. No need to take things so personally.
Or it could be part of something larger than your mind can comprehend. Whether you're a spiritual person or not makes no difference. I am not 'religious' per se, but will say I am spiritual. In my opinion being a part of the animal kingdom, it's our responsibility to embrace all animal life & respect it's existence. If not, there will be none to have & eventually the human animal will be gone to. Yes I stomp on spiders & sure, I used to hunt deer, rabbits, bird, etcc.. for food. It's a co-existence. Having a dog is not for the sake of it being dependent upon me. Having a dog is to bring something in my life that enriches what I already have. Any idiot can buy a car, have sex with prostitutes or have a baby like Octomom to fill voids. Not everyone who haves a pet does for the reason you think of. Otherwise, your kids that you have are a void to fill emotional holes....or....a product of irresponsible fucking. In another words, another great contribution to society. ::)

Absolutely not; genetically they can still interbreed and moreover if you look at their behaviour you will see the same patterns.

People always give us the same crap about unconditional love coming from pets. I simply feel most are looking for is the unconditional lovability that can only be achieved through pseudo-relationships. Real relationships are a lot more work than caring for pets. Being with a person takes a level of sacrifice, communication, give, take, etc... There's nothing wrong with substituting animal bonding for lasting, satisfying relationships. It's just silly, IMO, to compare a dog that can be left in a kennel all day and is happy with a little food, water, attention and the occasional walk to people who require so much more of us. Most of us can feed, water, walk and pet an animal but relationships take a whole lot more effort to 'work'. Pets are just a convenient way for for many folks to have someone that will always need them no matter what, sort of like children that never grow up.
I would never harm, injure or mistreat an animal so saying I hate them is probably not accurate. I just have no use for them but there isn't adequate language to explain the extent to which they and being dependent upon repulse me.
Besides... I said most people. Surely you can appreciate the difference between saying some people use pets to fill emotional voids because they can't form normal, healthy relationships and all pet owners being petwits.
-
And your point is?
that you're an idiot for missing it
We all know there's no age limit on lameness or parental issues. :)
case in point
People always give us the same crap about unconditional love coming from pets. I simply feel most are looking for is the unconditional lovability that can only be achieved through pseudo-relationships.
If you feel all people wanting pets for this reason, then you have some issues yourself

Not everyone who owns a pet...is dependent upon them, especially for emotion 'fills'.
Besides... I said most people. Surely you can appreciate the difference between saying some people use pets to fill emotional voids because they can't form normal, healthy relationships and all pet owners being petwits.
I wouldn't use the terms 'most'. I can see where 'some' people do. My father has no desire to be bothered by a lot of human contact any longer. He has 2 dogs. I don't think they could ever replace human social interaction but it keeps him happy. I probably can think of many people that have children & are a complete mess. What's worse is the children are a complete mess. I would rather have dogs & cats lives being ruined being stuck in a house all day than a bunch of children.
Also, go to a shelter & you'll see proof where alot of people don't use pets to fill emotional voids. They're considered disposable by todays standards. Many years ago, the pet dog was a valable part of the family network, like the cow or horse.
Pets have a purpose. To some....yes, they fill voids. Next time you go out & buy something for yourself & someone says "mid life" crisis, just remember you're filling a void. Maybe it's not at the pet store.

Knny,
You're a cool dude and I probably shouldn't bust balls too much here. You can take it but last thing I should do is get a bunch of people going when there's no time for proper teasing. I didn't initially realize the original post about dogs being annoying was on this forum.
Us busting each other's balls (though always fun) would eventually reduce enjoyment of the pet forum for others and that really wouldn't be right. I do find the discussion about pet/people relationships interesting but really don't want to carry on a urinating match with you, especially considering the thread title probably doesn't give people a lot of room to join in without starting off angered by the initial post. It didn't start out on the right foot and I'm too lazy to sort out posts where I was having fun from being serious. You probably get what I mean but it didn't start out in a way that has the tone that fits here. :)
We can always have fun on the Y but I'll let it go here out of respect for other forum members.

Yup, I agree.

I dont like dogs, waaaaa, waaaaa ,waaaa ::) Harden the fuck up! Dogs are awesome. 8)

This is true. You may think a little different if your kid gets bit by one. I guarantee it
You can't guarantee that. If my kid was bitten by a dog, it wouldn't leave me hating all dogs. That is a bit unfair. You find out why first of all. Was it the dog's fault or the owner's for not either containing the dog or maybe abusing the dog in the first place to make it want to lash out and bite. Could it have been the child's parent's fault (not being personal...just being general) for not keeping an eye on your child or teaching them not to go near strange dogs. Or was it the child's fault for either getting to close to the animal or hurting it (even by accident). I had a German Shephard who was the friendliest dog, loved everyone and one day he had an ear infection that I didn't know about. I had company over for dinner and one of my guests was patting him. He was fine and loving it up but then while she was rubbing his head she ran her hands along his ears to massage them and he turn in a half a second and bit her hand straight through her palm. It was so fast that she didn't even feel it. My dog immediately went running into a corner because he knew he did something wrong. My guest was like "what was that about" and then we noticed her hand was bleeding. We couldn't believe what had happened. She had to get stitches and my dog had to go into quarantine for a few days until they were sure my dog's bite didn't make my guest sick. In any case, you can't blame the species or hate the species for something one dog might do. It would be like me hating all men because one hit my sister or my mother or something.

That' true and I respect what your saying I truly do.
Look, I just don't like dogs. It's nothing against dog owners I just don't like dogs, period, that simple. No disrespect at all. Everyone has their opinion and I have mine. Don't mean to sound like a dick, sorry. I JUST DON'T LIKE THEM

Just remember, dogs usually know when someone fears them or doesn't like. Just don't get all surprised when they try to bite you.

People always give us the same crap about unconditional love coming from pets. I simply feel most are looking for is the unconditional lovability that can only be achieved through pseudo-relationships. Real relationships are a lot more work than caring for pets. Being with a person takes a level of sacrifice, communication, give, take, etc... There's nothing wrong with substituting animal bonding for lasting, satisfying relationships. It's just silly, IMO, to compare a dog that can be left in a kennel all day and is happy with a little food, water, attention and the occasional walk to people who require so much more of us. Most of us can feed, water, walk and pet an animal but relationships take a whole lot more effort to 'work'. Pets are just a convenient way for for many folks to have someone that will always need them no matter what, sort of like children that never grow up.
I would never harm, injure or mistreat an animal so saying I hate them is probably not accurate. I just have no use for them but there isn't adequate language to explain the extent to which they and being dependent upon repulse me.

You can't appreciate the difference between bonding with an animal that depends upon you for it's survival and someone who can walk away?
-
i like dogs. Hell the more people I meet the more I prefer animals. People suck ass
-
they need constatnt attention, you have to buy lots of food, you have to walk them, they smell like shit, they are always all over you and annoy you especially when eating or trying to watch a movie, they shit everywhere and piss on the floors, they chew up or rip apart furniture, cables, most anything left in their reach, many of them bite or maul people, and worst of all, THEY MAKE A SHITLOAD OF NOISE AT ALL HOURS.
you may love dogs (for some reason), but chances are you neighbors dont want to hear your animal howling all fucking night or early in the morning, or barking nonstop for hours on end while facing the fence at anything that moves, or nothing at all.
i will never understand why so many people have them.
as Mary12ponies once said " There are no problem horses, only problem riders"

Well then you should be hating the owners of the "problem" dogs you mention, dogs will do what they are allowed to do by their owners. Dogs are innocent, people make or allow bad dog behavior.
Just like the noisy, demanding, needy, spoiled, crying, whining, messy, unappreciative, little brat kids out there, its the parents who let them become that, I do hate those fucks.
-
Fuck all of you dog haters. You're entitled to your own opinion but your attitude and anger is severely misguided.
Dogs are loyal companions who deserve to be treated well in return. If I've had a tough day or I don't seem happy, my dogs can sense that and they try to cheer me up. Maybe the dogs that some of you speak of are mistreated by their owners. Ever think of that?
For the most part, there's a pretty good chunk of people on this planet that pretty much suck as human beings. By comparison, the majority of dogs in this world are incapable of being phony and their love and respect to their owners are genuine. Most of the time, I'll take the latter comparative ratio when it comes to companionship.
So you dog haters can go eat a dick.... :-*
A very typical 'dog person' response.
You probably let your kids go apeshit at the restaurant too becuase it 'cheers you up". too eh?
The whole dog fetish that's going on these days is really weird. Look at how many people in this thread get all violent and nasty if you DARE say anything bad about these animals. Look around. A LOT of dog owners have some major issues. I agree with the statement that lots of people need that unconditional bond because they have emotional or psychological issues. Your dog won't leave you, no matter how much of an asshole you are, right? What about the average pitbull-type owner? Do they usually have issues? Remember that NOBODY ELSE really loves your animal like you do. No one thinks it's cute when they tear shit up and act up.
So a lot of people out there need to get off the whole "If you don't like my dog I'll fucking kick your ass". The people who take this tact are the people who have the animals that cause problems, bite kids, bark all goddamn day and night, shit all over everything, etc. If your animal is really a well trained, well behaved creature, people will tolerate it just fine, won't be no problems. If you have a monster, they will hate it, and you too.

Actually there is one person on getbig *guess* who really has issues in this regard...

I honestly feel the same way. Annoying as hell! I don't care if your dog is friendly or whatever I don't wanna pet it or want that dumb ass dog around me.
I just started feeling that way after my oldest daughter got bit by one for no reason at all.
All may not be this way, but I could live without them.
perhaps you should watch after your offspring better..not your daughters fault and not the dogs fault that only leaves..
your daughter can get hurt by a multitude of things if not careful, good luck hating..bikes, bees, other mean kids, boyfriends, bad grades, pimples, pressure from society to look slim and dentists
there is always a reason a dog will bite, you failed in two areas

Not a very good argument. That's like saying when someone gets run over and injures and you just say, you could have fallen down the stairs as well. Either way you get hurt. SOME dogs ARE dangerous...fact.

Typical idiotic answer.
LOL you sound like the parent of those monster kids who were described who's brats can do no wrong. These brain dead idiots are all just so happy when little Tyler and Josh are not bothering them for once, that they just let them "do their thing" Not caring they are causing havoc and throwing things or hitting the dog...Too bad a dog has better parenting skills than you, if your not gonna keep your kids in line then someone has to. LOL keep blaming everthing in the world for your parental short comings.
Hey I agree many dogs are a PITA and I dislike them too, but I always try to remember its the owners fault they are getting away with it, same holds true for the parents of brat kids.
Dogs are a part of this world as a parent you will need to be able recognize aggressive or dominate dog behavior and keep your children away from that. You would hope the dog owner would do this but they might not be the best to recognize that their dog has "issues" until its too late. Dogs/pets can teach the young children of this world much, things like compassion, responsibility, living in the now and love, so there is much value in having them.
With that said I'm very cautious at first around all big dogs (but it applies to all sizes) especially certain breeds. Until I get a handle on their disposition I will avoid contact or being too close. With these bigger dominate dogs you need to be very cognisant of your body language, distance, eye contact and how you may approach them. Dogs have their own body language too, eye contact, ears up, tail up....all signs of an excited or unsubmissive dog, of course growling is a bad sign. Tail relaxed in a neutral position, ears down or even a little back, not staring you down these are more submissive or comfortable behaviors. Then teach this to your children when they become old enough to understand.

OK, I'm a bad father I forced the dog to bite my daughter, silly me... ::) whatever dude, look at it however you please I really don't care. Like I said before those kids and my daughter were doing nothing directly at the dog they were just playing and you know how dogs get overexited and start snappin at ankles and such... whatever I don't even feel like explaining it anymore. Sad day for me.
I don't like dogs... you do... so what?

I never denied dogs being a part of life. My criticism of their idiotic answer is because people poorly train their pets and then refuse to accept responsibility when things go wrong. Children should be monitored around pets but not necessarily taught to fear them. If someone's dog bit my kid, I'd insist it were tested for rabies.
Personally, messing with unfamiliar dogs makes no sense. My kids have a very excitable/jumpy dog who is destroying their house because exw doesn't train it and only one kid likes dogs. At some point, when there's no kitchen left, they'll get rid of it and someone else will inherit the problem. IMO, the dog should be better taken care of and trained but it's none of my business. It's not a bad dog, they're just bad owners.

I love dogs but what really cracks me up is all the people who place their lives over the lives of humans. Like wanting the death penalty for animal abusers and then only jail time for terrorists or armed robbers. I mean, get fucking real. ::)

My only defense to that kind of reaction is that people who mutilate and kill animals are not the kind of people you want to hangout with. The ability to harm a fairly defenseless animal is indicitive of potential for other seriously disgusting behavior.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's disgusting and pisses me off to no end but these people crack me up. They're usually the same people crying out against torturing terrorists but wanting guys like Michael Vick thrown into a pit of dogs to be torn apart. The hypocrisy amuses me.

Yeah, he's serving his time. That's good enough for me. I wouldn't go running into a burning building for my pit and wouldn't expect anyone else to so I can't justify sending old Mike Vick to the chair because he killed some dogs.

Yes taking on a pet is a serious responsibility, too many people don't think it through. Many because they don't realize it is a living being that feels and deserves a good life as a dog. Too many people enter into pet ownership like pets are toys. I hope that poor dog gets out of the situation you described.
Dogs are very social and don't do good on their own, isolated. I agree few people have the maturity and perseverance to be good pet owners, very much like parenting.
Their truth is their innocence, the innocent must be protected.
-
This is true. You may think a little different if your kid gets bit by one. I guarantee it
Actually no..my daughter got bit by one that "got away" from the owner that was walking it and needed 2 stitches. I punched it in the head and the owner tried to sue me...but thats a different story. It is based on perception.
Owning dogs most my life I can tell you that dogs are a little like children..sure they are work, but the work isn't that bad if your not very self absorbed and selfish cause the return is 10x what you put into it. There are no bad dogs or children...just bad owners / parents. If you haven't invested in learning how to take care and train one (Obedience class- dogs, parenting class-children) you have no business owning own cause it WILL be unruly.
Your argument is like blaming a pencil for a grammatical error. If common sense and an the IQ of a stapler tells you otherwise...you're going to suck at life.
..no offense. :-\
PS - coming here to post an aggressive and rude message is just disrespectful...is that how your parents raised you? (guess that kinda puts you with likeness to that dog huh?..undisciplined due to the lack of instruction) You can't get your point across in a well mannered, thought out, intelligent way? Stating a opinion is one thing...vomiting insults and harsh words is just tale tell signs of a ignorant person that can't vocalize intelligent thought.

haha i started this thread in a fit of rage, didnt know it was still alive.
Don't forget that dogs are:
search and rescue tools
used for fighting crime
aids to the disabled
aids to the sick
aids to the rehabilitation of the prison population
used in the military
and on numerous occasions have performed great feats of heroism at the expense of their own safety..
these are great uses of dogs and these dogs are fine.
however buying a dog so it can just stand in your yard all day howling at the fence is NOT good and is what 99% of the dogs in this country are currently doing.

yes this is another thing that makes me laugh, people who are convinced their dog 'loves them' HAHAAHAHAH!
they are like 'at least Rover here is always happy to see me when i get home, he give me so much love', etc etc.. then i tell them the dog would do the same exact thing to any human who walked in the door, and that they would be just as happy with ANY person that gives them food. you could disappear from one day to the next and as long as their was food in the bowl the dog wont give two shits. in reality you are completely replaceable. who you are makes no fucking difference to the dog. but hey if they want to think them and the dog have some special relationship then whatever i guess haha.

they are like 'at least Rover here is always happy to see me when i get home, he give me so much love', etc etc.. then i tell them the dog would do the same exact thing to any human who walked in the door, and that they would be just as happy with ANY person that gives them food. you could disappear from one day to the next and as long as their was food in the bowl the dog wont give two shits. in reality you are completely replaceable. who you are makes no fucking difference to the dog. but hey if they want to think them and the dog have some special relationship then whatever i guess haha.
Haha So true.
Damn this thread still alive ???

haha i started this thread in a fit of rage, didnt know it was still alive.
these are great uses of dogs and these dogs are fine.
however buying a dog so it can just stand in your yard all day howling at the fence is NOT good and is what 99% of the dogs in this country are currently doing.
That is a very true statement, so while knowing that your anger should be towards the owners, not the dogs, as they are the ones responsible for the howling dogs.

Its easier for them to hate the dogs and express anger towards them. Maybe they are afraid of confrontation with actual people, some seem bitter and angry, even a bit sociopathic.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's disgusting and pisses me off to no end but these people crack me up. They're usually the same people crying out against torturing terrorists but wanting guys like Michael Vick thrown into a pit of dogs to be torn apart. The hypocrisy amuses me.
As far as I know, no one has GENUINELY tried to get Michael Vick brutalized via the legal system. It's more a gut "arrrgh what a horrible human being". Rest assured if Michael Vick got put in Guantanamo and waterboarded the ACLU would be on that like Coach on soapy studs.
Not to mention, honestly, it shows a special kind of callousness for one to abuse and beat a creature that is pretty much innocent. It's like if he was setting toddlers on fire, the human mind can't help but be more repulsed by the maltreatment of children and animals over adults.

True. The person leaving their dog yapping in the yard/kennel all day will swear they love it and don't consider this kind of treatment abuse. IMO, these people are worse than Matrix and others who 'don't get it' because they're hiding behind neediness and calling it compassion.

that shit drives me INSANE. dogs are social, they need some human contact at the very least. not to mention it leads to a much better behaved animal. my little dude is with me pretty much all day and he's comically well-behaved. never leaves my side unless he thinks i'm okay with it. never bites anyone, never growls, nothin'.

they need constatnt attention, you have to buy lots of food, you have to walk them, they smell like shit, they are always all over you and annoy you especially when eating or trying to watch a movie, they shit everywhere and piss on the floors, they chew up or rip apart furniture, cables, most anything left in their reach, many of them bite or maul people, and worst of all, THEY MAKE A SHITLOAD OF NOISE AT ALL HOURS.
you may love dogs (for some reason), but chances are you neighbors dont want to hear your animal howling all fucking night or early in the morning, or barking nonstop for hours on end while facing the fence at anything that moves, or nothing at all.
i will never understand why so many people have them.
I couldn't disagree more, but I am glad you feel this way because it is blatantly obvious that you are not capable of assuming the responsibility that comes along with a dog. Gee what a surprise - you have to feed and walk a dog....and they poop ::) Lol....many of them bite or maul people - oh brother, percentage-wise very few dogs bite or maul people.
