I will never understand the accommodations people make for pets that leave mountains of turd all over the streets for other people to walk in. Slobbering beasts that bark, kill wildlife and make your house smell like a wet towel. Eating a meal at their house is also disgusting as there are dog hairs EVERYWHERE even in the food.

I’m an animal person by the way. Like actual wild animals.

That's on the owner.

Btw cats shit everywhere as they roam freely, not dogs. (House cats are uncommon here)

> Slobbering beasts that bark

Owner (training) problem again if they bark all the time. Not all slobber

> kill wildlife

Oh you've confused dogs with cats again

> and make your house smell like a wet towel.

Fair

> dog hairs EVERYWHERE even in the food.

No cats have hair of course

I have a strange feeling you’ve confused me for a cat person since you keep doing a comparison with cats? To me, cats are worse, and you’re right. Dogs shit in the street, cats shit all over your garden. I’ve seen dogs chase after and rag a baby deer to death, cats DECIMATE the local wildlife population. Birds, bye, frogs, bye, mice, bye, hedgehogs don’t come round when your neighbourhood is full of these things, I’ve seen one kill a butterfly for gods sake, anything that moves!

And, yes, it’s all obviously on the owners and I can only guess that these people are selfish or just don’t really think about anything they’re doing. This is your classic general public behaviour. Buy an electric car, take out your recycling, and sign a petition online about the Orangoutangs in Borneo. Then buy a cat and drive to the shops that’s a ten minute walk down the road whilst drinking a can of Coke. Zero thinking.
