Which is worse, the fact that whiny-nearly-hairless dogs exist, the person who owns one and doesn't care, or the person who doesn't have one and cares about them?
Saw a puppy sitting in the rain tied to a bike rack in front of Duckett's the other day; shivering and whining. Pretty sure these are the same types of people who - if they had kids - would leave them in the car on a hot day. But thankfully they are still just tinkering around with low-level animal abuse and haven't graduated to full-on child endangerment yet.
This again. Like other times, some commenter will probably claim that dogs never get cold because, hey, they're animals, or something.
But they're not a native, wild species. They're a domesticated animal, which means you take care of them; you don't tie them up so they can't get to a warm place.
Between this and all the news today, I'm feeling some serious shame and remorse on behalf of my race.
(I've seen at least two Dick's restaurants with indoor seating in PDX.) And yes: leaving your dog tied up outside in a cold or wet area for more than a few minutes, when it can't even run around to get warm, is a dick move.
Have to agree with IA here. Only a shitty low-down human leaves their dog tied outside for extended periods on end. I see this myself, all of the time. People, if you know you're going to be gone for a while, LEAVE YOUR DAMNED DOG AT HOME! Otherwise, give him/her to someone who WILL take care of it.
Ok, you know goddamn what? As soon as you can show me the precise history detailing how people were enslaved based solely and exclusively on whether they HAD CHILDREN and nothing else, then i will apologize and delete my account here.
I think the point DamosA was oafishly trying to get at may be that the n-word is widely perceived as more offensive than the average insult like "breeder" because it has the weight of hundreds of years of ongoing oppression (not just slavery) behind it.
Saying the two are just as hurtful seems unbelievable. You say "some people" find the terms equally offensive. Like who? Anyway, you're feeding a troll by telling him how offensive he's being.

"Your asshole is freezing, dog!"
jesus, you people are almost as bad as breeders.
