I like dogs but I hate dog lovers. Dogs are, first and foremost, tools of humanity and animals no different to other animals who were also useful to us (such as horses). Dogs should only be owned by people who have a genuine use for them (hunters, police, farmers, and even personal protection depending on the situation) and shouldn’t exist to be purse puppies or “companions” because it’s no better than a person using a dog for a dog fighting ring; both are an abuse of the animal and quite unseemly. Few things bring me more anger than someone owning a dog as a “companion” only to leave it alone for the majority of the day and otherwise simply abusively neglect it or become obsessed with it to the point they treat the animal like its THEIR human child.
