Breeds, tips and tricks about training and behaviour, news affecting dog owners, canine photography, dog-related art and any questions related to dog ownership.
Rules

- This is a neutral space. No bigotry or personal attacks. Criticism should be polite and constructive.
- No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
- No advertising or self-promotion.
- Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.

While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.

Yes, my opinion is not usually shared by most other people. I do not think dogs, or any other animal is an object to be used by humans. So, make of that what you will. I don't really care what you think.
I mean, you care enough to respond, obviously. But not enough to do anything else.
That kinda points to you just thinking that your take on things is superior, and nobody else is worth talking to. Which is fine as far as that goes, there's shit I feel the same way about. But, I don't come back with "I don't care what you think" when I don't care what someone thinks.
A bit contradictory. Which, again, is fine as far as that goes. Nobody is required go be consistent or honest with themselves, or even with others.
Just, you know, it doesn't convince anyone you don't care what they think, if you respond at all, much less with the whole "my opinion is so rare and special" type of opening.
