I don't fucking understand this at all, the dog is dead, it's a different dog ffs.

Genes contribute to personality and appearance. If you just sort of liked a dog, had absolutely no concept of the good you can use money for, didn't actually like dogs (because you could adopt one of the many dogs murdered each day for want of care), and didn't see an attempt to copy someone as if individuals are fungible as disrespectful then I suppose it makes some sort of sense.

To many humans other animals are just things after all.

Just get another dog it's a different dog stop being freaks omfg.

This whole thing viscerally upsets me on a level I find sort of hard to process, i dislike it at a spiritual level, I find it fundamentally wrong. It's a family member. It's like equally freaky to me if you did this to your mother or your siblings, they wouldn't be the same people, stop, no, ew.

Gonna clone myself and give them a headstart on the whole trans thing 🤔

But yeah nah seeing a clone of me running around would probably break my brain

Are both twins always trans? Haven't checked but if not then a clone might not be trans too.

I know of at least one case where only one identicaltwin is trans.

tbh I personally don't find this more revolting than eating non human animals. Which is to say I think it's disgusting and betrays a complete and utter selfish absorption with your own alledged superiority and a fundamentally objectifying view of other beings.

But I am not really surprised that someone who would have somebody killed and butchered for their pleasure would see this as reasonable. It's certainly less violent ╮(︶▽︶)╭
