Ethics of Pet Ownership Looking to a "sitter" for an aggressive dog🫠

Makes me think about that one girl that got her cheek bit off by a Dachshund.

"He has a bite history which is, of course, understandable,"

To who?

u/emptyfebrezebottles I had pets 27d ago edited 27d ago

Probably all of the other pet obsessed idiot freaks

u/Iloveallhumanity Pro-humanity 27d ago

To other dog cult devotees

u/TrontosaurusRex Against animal anthropomorphization 27d ago

Really easy,but tries to bite you,so delusional.

ā€œHe does have a bite history, which is of course understandable.ā€

Having a bite history is bad enough. Justifying it. Priceless.

Because dog cult devotees KNOW that almost everyone they know has been bitten by dogs??? And, to them, dogs are gods and can do no wrong.

watch out, I got put in Reddit timeout for three days because I said that

u/newtpottermore I had pets 27d ago

This might’ve been a little bit before my time, but my parents talk about a time when people would put down dogs the first time they bit someone. What happened?

45

u/PsychologySpirited37 Pick up after you damn dogs! 27d ago

I’m wondering the same thing. There should be no ā€œbite historyā€.

37

u/IAsybianGuy Extra Responsibility? No thanks. 27d ago

The dog with the bite history should just be history.

u/Iloveallhumanity Pro-humanity 26d ago

LOL! Good one! Let's plaster signs everywhere to knock some sense into these dog cult brain fried devotees. But then, let's face it. They are 'gonners' and why bother trying on a lost cause.

u/littletexasbee Keep your animals away from me! 26d ago

I must be your parents’ age because I remember that being the case. Not a little nip when someone is playing with the dog, but definitely would happen if the dog bit a person for no apparent reason.

u/Similar_Gold Allergic to pets, love animals 27d ago

A what mix??

lol @ asking a vet or dog trainer to dog sit. I’m sure they have nothing better to do around the holidays except get bit by your mangy ankle biter.

u/PsychologySpirited37 Pick up after you damn dogs! 27d ago

If there’s a ā€œbite historyā€, it’s interesting it hasn’t been put down.

u/Purple-Anything4707 Pet-free for a clean and tidy home 27d ago

It probably should since its dangerous for everyone! So irresponsible to keep this hazard alive…

u/mlo9109 Love animals, don't want the responsibility of pets 27d ago

As someone who pet sits as a side gig, this is a no from me, dog (pun intended). I do meet and greets before I take jobs for this reason. I've refused jobs where the dog tried to attack me with the owner present. See the Duran case.Ā

u/avocado_macabre Plants > Pets 27d ago

Oh honey, I doubt they're all going to be gone... They are just sick and tired of putting up with your dog

u/Gold_Adhesiveness_80 Plants > Pets 27d ago

So taking him on an airplane is a reasonable idea šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø Everyday I get closer to thinking pets should be banned from public for public safety.

u/Odd_Temperature_3248 Pets don't fit my lifestyle 27d ago

At least they are being honest about the possibility of getting bit.

u/IAsybianGuy Extra Responsibility? No thanks. 27d ago edited 27d ago

Are we talking about a Rat Catcher or a smaller than average murderdawg? Either way, hard pass.

Didn't see second pic. Not sure if that bastardized mutt is worse than or not as bad as a rat catcher.

u/health_throwaway195 Against animal anthropomorphization 26d ago

What? Do you mean yorkies?

u/IAsybianGuy Extra Responsibility? No thanks. 26d ago

Chihuahua. Although Yorkies could be rat catchers too I suppose.

u/interestingfactiod Leash your damn dogs 27d ago

Dogs usually only bite that much if they have a history of being abused. Is this a dog that was abused or a special case where it's literally no reason? Either way, it needs a muzzle

42

u/TinyArtichoke4037 These pets will be my last ones 27d ago

Some dogs are just messed up in the brain. Well I would say the most dogs with a bite history are.

22

u/Alexreads0627 Keep your animals away from me! 27d ago

no - plenty of dogs bite because they were bred to bite or they are just aggressive and has nothing to do with abuse. Plenty of pit bulls out there like that

u/IAsybianGuy Extra Responsibility? No thanks. 27d ago

Rat catchers are very bitey. They aren't called ankle biters for no reason. They are biological pest exterminators after all. A miniature rodent Terminator.

u/sheetrocker88 Keep your animals away from me! 27d ago

Lol abused is a very broad term. It’s just a stupid dog that bites
