Is it normal to hate the way americans treat their dogs?

It's your culture and you don't understand just because it's different. Just like I find the idea of eating dog repulsive. It's just what you are raised with. If you want to know though, dogs can offer a lot, especially for people who aren't that social or have a hard time being so. There were times I couldn't talk to anyone and my dog was the closest thing I had to a friend. They are smart and intuitive, they know when you feel hurt, and they make you feel loved and appreciated. They make great companions really.

The Phillipines is fucked. I got to go play with my dog now because it's a living creature that deserves respect.

Dog hate? On the internet? In English? You have just unlocked the gates of hell.

im hatin the way yall asians treat any animals. yalls gots no concept of animal cruelty, no concept of conservation, no concept of empathy for pain and sufferin. oh looky here there's only 3 of these things left in the world. lets eat em.
yalls stupid and evil enough to think animals tastin better if yall skin em alive, hell there's internet video of some fucker doin that shit and the dawgs was still tryin to lick his hand.
id happliy return the favor on any cocksucker I seen doin that shit, theyall can be tellin me bout them cultural differences as I do the deed on them, see how them all barbaric cocksuckers like it

I wouldn't go to another country and say "hey, you're supposed to eat that." Deal with it or go back to your shack.

Hate, sadly, is normal in our society. This is a cultural difference, so naturally it is expected that there be some divergence in opinion.

First of all, a dog is better to be hugely loved and spoiled then abused. Second, for many folks dogs aren't "just animals". They serve as best friends, protectors, assistants, and for many people, furbabies (So yeah, they are very useful). Third, dogs are smart, intuitive creatures that care for their owners and would do anything for them. By the way OP, Crotch Droppings (AKA Children) are much more work than a dog ever could be. Lastly, a dog would love you alot more unconditionally than a Crotch Dropping would. Therefore, they don't need to cook, clean, or work on things.

It's cultural differences, so it's normal. Yeah, grant it I wouldn't eat a dog or a cat unless I was starving to death and had not other choice. But we can agree to disagree on how cats/dogs are treated.

There was that guy in Florida or someplace that was all tweaked out and got caught eating a dog alive and I was all like "whaaaaat???". If it was a cow nobody would give 2 shits. I eat squirrel at least 2 nights a week. Yeah it rhymes. Big whoop. Wanna fight about it?

Dogs were domesticated for thousands of years for many useful reason actually. My dog is a Samoyed, guess i'll tell you a bit about his story. Samoyed is the named of the tribe who domesticated hes breed,they lived in Siberia where survival in general was very difficult. These dogs helped the tribe survive, they hunted with them, they protected them, they herd the cattle and they even slept with their children to protect them from the freezing cold. These dogs were loyal, intelligent and the people of the tribe loved them a lot.
Perhaps, you can say I do not need my dog for survival and it is true but dogs are wonderful creatures and they make good companions today as they did 2000 years before.
Treating a dog as part of the family is NOT something new.

Now I understand why my old friend couldn't have a dog. Only rats.

Dogs aren't useless. They're loyal and loving. They are probably not like that in your country because you guys chase after them with forks, so you would never understand

shouldnt this be in the food category not the pets category?

Nice trolling. I'd rather starve than eat Fido or Fluffy. If you don't like how Americans do things then leave!

I guess you have the free will to waste your time and energy hating whatever you want but it's not going to change anything. Dogs and cats have been domesticated and living alongside humans, particularly western humans, for thousands of years. Accept that you are powerless over how companion animals are treated in other cultures and you will have much more peace and serenity in you life.

Also I wouldn't try eating dogs and cats in this country if I were you.

I'm not sure if this is what you're saying but I'm going to go ahead and say this. I do not encourage adopting a child over a dog. You should never adopt a child if you are not ready to care for him/her. A dog is much easier to care for where as a child is a huge responsibility. It would be horrible to take a child from a bad environment and bring him into another bad environment so, no I don't agree with that logic.

But if you're saying that it's stupid to spend thousands of dollars on an animal who doesn't care for it when you have kids out there starving who definitely need much more than I do agree with you. No use in buying a $3,000 leash for Fee-Fee when there's a sick kid that needs it more.

I like how Koreans treat the dogs.

It's like that with a lot of other cultures.. differences... like how many people eat cow yet some others in say india worship them... Anyway, it's hard to explain. I'm not the kind of person who would think an animal is better than a human.. I don't care if you ate dogs and cats, although I do love cats, and well any animals. when i've worked or been to farms and see a live cow or chicken, i love them too, pet them, make them feel happy, because i know they have feelings, even if inferior to our own... yet, i'm not a vegetarian.. so maybe it's hypocritical. but another thing i always say is that, while you can't teach cats or dogs to speak, work on cars/roof, whatever else you mentioned, neither can you with a baby.. yet people still love them.. and not just because "it will grow up and learn to do all those things some day". they would still love it even if it never grew up... wouldnt you..?

Friend, My Husband told me, they ate dog in his country too. He's from Indonesia. The Java Island. So I'm familiar with Asian customs. And eventually Id love to travel there when we have enough money saved. Don't sweat it. Americans are just different. When it comes to how we view animals. And don't worry about your English you sound fine to me.

In America we aren't poor enough to have to eat a dog. Dogs are very intelligent (as are cats) and they are loyal and loving. It is just a huge cultural difference. I would never eat a dog or a cat and the way that a lot of asian countries treat their livestock is repulsive and cruel.

Dogs show and provide more loyalty, forgiveness, and unconditional love than any human I know. They also have a higher rate of intelligence than most animals that are raised for food. So as a species they have earned human respect.

I suppose your real gripe would be with the humans who first domesticated the wolf centuries ago. Although I will admit that some people do overdo it when it come to spoiling their dog but at least we don't worship them like some cultures actually do with rats and monkeys.

If an animal is your friends you have no friends

go home!

In a way I really disagree with you, because I don't agree with eating any animal, whether it be a dog or cow. But what does annoy me is a lot of people do eat meat, yet call themselves animal lovers, keeping pets etc. That to me doesn't make sense. You cant be an animal lover and eat meat. At least you see it as animals are meat, and don't pretend to have dogs as pets, and say 'ewww I wouldn't eat my dog'

I am Cat.

@Foamy'sACoolSquirrel when are we gonna eat your dog?
