People Shouldn’t Own Pets

Dogs and cats are not "wild beasts". They are domesticated animals bred solely for the purpose of living with humans in the home.

No pets, but do have an animal companion.

We domesticated them to the point of no return, they aren't wild beasts and rely on us. The worst thing about living in Spain is seeing all the anorexic dogs on the streets that were thrown out by their owners. Also pulling bags of puppies out of the trash cans because the owner didn't want to deal with it or was too cheap to get their dog neutered.

Why would anyone own fireworks? I got bored of them after age 5 just a waste of money and bad for the environment.

THIS.

Empathy. Try it.

Why would anyone own an animal in the first place? Why take a wild beast and leave it in your apartment or house for 10 hours a day while you are at work? No one should own an animal.

1) You seem to be worried more about the posts than the dogs themselves. Avoid social media for a few days. It will do you some good.

2) Because they make great adventure companions, are loyal, and loving. My dog, who is a husky/shep mix for example has saved me from bears on multiple occasions on trail runs, hikes, and back country adventures. He has run, hiked, camped, skied with me all over North America.

3) He's not a wild beast, he is domesticated (though he probably could do OK in the wild). I don't leave him at home 10 hours at a time. Even before COVID I worked from home 4 days a week, and the day I was not at home he could come with me.

Ok, Karen. LOL

fireworks are dangerous and pointless. go to bed. animals are us. love them.

People who like 'loud' fireworks are probably the same clowns who like to attract attention by riding 'loud' motorcycles and who ran around when they were kids screaming, "Look at me mommy, look at me,"

Why would anyone share their life with an animal that has been bred for tens of thousands of years to live with humans? Instead of trying to explain the obvious to a troll, let me be the first to say that you are a festering, bloated bag of self important opinionated sewer gas. I would simplify, but this forum apparently has safeguards against the term I had in mind.

Umm...I have a yellow lab now and had a black lab who lived to 15. I work from home all the time. My wife has only worked half time the last 9 years. We are almost never not here, and if we do go out for a short time (grocery store, movie), our old pet had no problems just sleeping while we were gone, and the new one who is still basically a puppy, goes in the huge crate he has.

I would never leave a pet alone for 10 hours a day. So, you are wrong that all pet owners do that. I took my dog on two walks today and played fetch with him in the backyard for almost an hour, plus played with him inside. He gets tons of attention in our house.

Umm pets are just as important as humans are! We all evolved equally and should be treated as such!!! This site is disgusting.

Instead of whining about pet owners whining. Direct your anger at the JOs and their selfish fireworks. “Durp my freedoms durp”.

get a gun dog, they dont give a monkeys about loud noises, and are great with kids

My pet bat wasn't bothered at all last night, but I didn't let it out to go potty for fear of it getting hit by a bottle rocket.

All I can say is I can only assume you are single. Will remain single and lonely, and are a loser.

You can get old fashioned Victorian style fireworks that are beautiful and I love those but honestly do think the ultra loud bang ones should be illegal. Not only do they traumatise pets but a lot of people with PTSD e.g. people who have returned from war. It just isn't necessary.

Stfu. No one gives 2 shits about what u feel.

I agree with you! It is after such fireworks that animals need medical care and examination. Therefore, they must be insured. You can't treat an animal yourself! I had never encountered this problem before and didn't know where to turn. But I also found information about an animal insurance company. I applied here https://www.petbusinessinternational.com.au and they helped me solve everything in a short time and at a good price. Now I'm completely calm and don't worry about my Pets! Do not put animals in danger! Be careful and don't put the animals in danger!
