I am not being defensive here. As you know, I am starting to question things too. hence this post. Just to make sure that you know my reasons:

1. Filtering based on interest in animals (and not just dog or cat)

2. I am not sure if I understand this one. What feature of the app are you referring at?

3. Do you mean dating and pet adoption? If so, we are addressing all the needs of a pet owner. We also have a lost/found pet alert. If you are a pet owner, you love your pet, you want your partner to love them and you want to find them if you lose them. You may have questions about your pets, vet recommendations, etc. So, all we are addressing in the app are related to pets and their owners.

4. The app is currently free to download and use. Revenue will be through subscriptions for dating service and ads in any section of the app. We plan to donate 10% of the revenue to shelters and rescues which is a big incentive for animal lovers.

If a filter for interest in specific animals was in demand by users, why wouldn't one of the big dating apps giants added it already?
Good points you make here. Thanks for saying things that I don't want to hear :)
Yeah I wish more people were brutally honest to me
