My dog has a dope life. I wouldn’t wanna be any random dog tho
Yeah. Your ape creature could be Michael Vick
I tell dog owners around me who feel guilty that their dog is alone for 5 hours or whatever: Your dog is incredibly spoiled and lives a very good life that most dogs don’t get to live. He’s fine being alone for 5 hours. Go to SE Asia and you’ll come back feeling like the best dog owner in the whole world and that your dog lives like a king.
is this the same for cat owners 👀
Ye, same for cats as well, though they tend to fare better in terms of “village” care, in that the people living in the area will care for the cat together.
The issue is lack of vet care and lack of neutering/spaying. Once that becomes for available and frequent there won’t be so much of an issue.
Visiting SE Asia is really sad when you’re an animal lover, seeing the harsh reality of the average dog out there is hard to ignore, and far too big a problem for the individual to fix, so it’s a helpless, hopeless feeling as well.
If I ever hit it rich, I’m setting up spay/neuter clinics in that area, along with skin treatment clinics. I’ll send teams out to tranquilize and treat the wild dogs and cats and neuter them.
Where in SEA?
All over, really. I saw it personally in Thailand and Indonesia, but I’ve had friends say they see the same thing in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam as well. :( it’s just a very sad part of visiting that area.
with cats you can trivially just get 2 of them and that avoids 90% of the risk of boredom and loneliness
God needs to take notes. If you truly care for something you provide free shelter, free food, free healthcare, and unlimited love.
Edit: also, politicians with trillions of dollars at their disposal could take notes. Imagine if I told my dog she can’t eat today because I needed to mount yet another 50 cal machine gun to the roof.
Or even better is someone who has access to $50 billion dollars.
They could live comfortably for the rest of their lives for a fraction of their total wealth.
But instead, they would rather read about and know that millions of people are starving in the world or dying in wars rather than do anything about it when they could use a small portion of their enormous wealth.
It’s not just callous… it’s pathological.
My dog would understand.
God is all knowing, this is why he is not a democrat 😮💨
Whos god?
God wants you to know their pronouns are she/them.
My dog is going through puppetry and has reverted and started pissing on things. We are not currently best friends.
My dog deliberately goes out of his way to step in the shit he just took. We are not currently best friends.
My dog has decided that cat shit is a delicacy. We are not currently best friends.
My dog has decided that legs don’t have to consent. We are not currently best friends.
I have decided to donate his testicles to the local veterinarian. We will be even, we will be best friends again.
But, if you insist, here my dummy for your viewing pleasure.
Edit:
I thought this was the post about wanting pics of pets. I’m as dumb as my dog is. :p
There doesn’t need to be a reason in order for you to share pet pics. Post them as much as you want.
That side eye
Bombastic side eye
Oh god, that photo is great. And I’d be thrilled if ALL lemmy threads had pics of pets, so no harm done!
Doesn’t mentions the part where he cuts off his balls 😅
That was the giant evil white coat ape who lives in the sad dog office.
Nah, the vet is not real. It’s just a fairy tale old dogs tell to puppies so they behave.
and you can just wipe your butt on the carpet and grin at everybody in the room, whenever you feel the urge
I’m not sure the dog would appreciate your antics though hiyooooooo
Now what’s the cat’s take?
Gigantic ape creature who’s too loud all the time, but please don’t leave.
