ITT, things about animal owners that make you rage.

For me, it's the term "forever home". Something about it just makes me want to smash kittens.

Pic related, my dog in her forever home.

When animal owners try to imply that their likes and dislikes are also their pets' likes and dislikes. There was always this one lady who boarded her horse at the same stable I boarded my horse, and she would never work with him in the arena because "he hates arena work". Instead she'd take him only take him on trail rides because "he loves trail rides". Every once and a while her daughter would ride him in the arena though, and he behaved just as he did out on the trails (and he spooked less because his surroundings were more uniform). It just bothered me for some reason because the horse was perfectly capable of doing either, but she always insisted she was doing the trails because "that's what he enjoyed". What the fuck, just come out and say you think the arena is boring and don't want to waste time in a hobby doing something you don't like. Don't try to anthropomorphize your pet's thoughts into an exact copy of your own.

well it's possible she hated it and her horse picked up on it when she tried it with him, and she got the impression he didn't like it.

* People who tongue-kiss their dogs, or let their dogs lick their mouths.

* Rich people who spend thousands on "anal expressions", impossible fur-cuts and boarding at $400 an night facilities with TV, single locked room and Persian rug when all the animal wants is to be by their (mentally stable) owner's side.

* Human trash that abuses or fights dogs or other animals.

* People who are dumber than their pets.

It's quite possible, but it doesn't really change the fact that the way she justified not riding him the arena bothers me. There are other cases of my-thoughts-are-my-pet's-thoughts that bother me as well. Like how recently my brother started insisting that our family dog sleep inside instead of in the garage in her crate. She's slept in the garage all her life, it has a heater in there so she never got cold or anything, and when she sleeps inside, she tries to crawl under things or into things that look sort of like her crate. It's obvious she's more accustomed to the garage, but every night recently she's been sleeping inside because "she likes it better than being in the garage".

People who just MUST have that special purebred dog.. Yet never do any research on the breed... and can't handle the dog when they get it.. so instead of giving it back to the breeder... they throw it out into the pound because they're too "proud" to admit they're jackasses...

I second this notion. My family keeps German Shepherds and always has done. It fucking pisses me off when I meet someone who says that they hate them because all the Shepherds they've ever seen have been badly trained, ill bred, unsocialised fear biters. I personally come across this problem with Rockwheilers a lot. People buy them because they think that owning a dog like that makes them look tough and they actually encourage dangerous behaviour. I've been the target of a handful of dog attacks and it's always Rockwheilers kept by idiots thinking that a vicious dog that attacks kids adds to their masculinity.

Also, I loathe people who think that their animals are human beings in animal form and can understand everything they say. A dog can be your best friend, but he's not about to understand concepts beyond food/love/pack/sex/warmth etc.

People who buy things like aquarium fish or slider turtles, and then dump them in the creek when they get sick or can't be cared for anymore. These people get all dewy-eyed and sentimental about their animals 'going back to nature' and completely ignore the damage that an invasive feral species does to the environment both directly and indirectly. We've got a massive slider problem building with the bastard things knocking off and out competeing native species; hell, a few years back they dredged a lake down in Canberra and you know what they found amongst everything else? A massive, absolutely HUGE fucking American snapping turtle! It was an ex pet that some fuck had smuggled into the country and then dumped as soon as it became unmanagable. You want to keep a species that's not native to the area, fine- and I'm talking about everything from cats and dogs to Burmese boa constrictors- but you keep them properly, you buy them legally, and if you cannot care for them anymore, for whatever reason, you dispose of them through the proper channels. If an animal's illegal in your area/country then there's generally a reason for it. If you think the laws are unjustified then you start talking to your local member for parliment and start campaining. But dipshits who release animals into the wild that don't belong there should be shot. Not only is it damaging to the environment and the native species already there, it's indescribably cruel to the animal that's being dumped, that probably has no idea how to care for itself.

Dipshit retarded owners who treat their dogs and cats like they're actually as clean as a human: lets the dogs lick peoples' faces, sit on the same furniture people sit, and even share the fucking dining table with them at meals.

I don't even want a dog or cat UNDER the table when I am eating. Human food is high in carbs and sugar and will seriously fuck up a pet's diet, it may contain poisonous stuffs like onions. And it's absolutely disgusting to even think of eating off the same plate and utensils that are/were coated in dog slobber.

Yes, I understand that animal hair and the smell gets around the house. That doesn't mean every single fucking couch, bed, chair and even the fucking toilet seat has to be covered in the animals' muck. Gawd, if you taught your cat to use the damn toilet instead of the litter box, then CLEAN the damn seat once in a while!

Oh look, another of the dipshits. You just find it CUUUUUUTE when your ickle Billykins starts licking up your own dinner plate during a meal, don't you? You probably encourage the dog to "kiss" you and slobber back at the dog too. You probably have brown streaks on your couch from when your dogs sat with less than a clean bum, and you are entirely utterly covered in dog shedding, that you like to deny your once royal blue sweater now is a blue-and-tan sweater.

I mean, of course, it's YOUR dog. You've obviously so for not gotten sick by keeping your house filthy and turning the dog into a diabetic, temperamental thing that you can't actually even control. In fact, it's people like you who insist that their dogs are cleaner than the rest of the population that usually don't even toilet train their dogs properly, so they piss and poop all over the place whenever you're out.

People who buy cats just for the sake of having a pet, possibly for their child, and then act like they never exist, except when they have too feed it/give it water.

I'm partly biased because I'm allergic to cats, and everyone I know has one. It annoys me because my allergies are potentially lethal and they would rather have a cat that they don't give a fuck about then have me come over.

Also, fat people who buy a shit load of pets that they can't care for. They treat the animals as if they were humans, because they have no REAL humans friends.

People who get animals and believe they are the same as humans. Apparently it IS human nature to anthropomorphize animals, but holy shit some people are insane about it. Especially women who get small dogs to fill in for a dead child or some similar garbage and treat the dog as if it were the dead child. CRAZY.

Also, people who insist on feeding their dogs table scraps. It's annoying to go to their house for one thing, because their dog begs the entire time you're eating, but also this is how dogs get fat/sick.

I hate when people baby talk at animals.

It is not a baby. It is a fucking dog/cat/whatever.

They say "it puts them at ease", or "they like it", but it doesn't and they don't. A wagging tail is a sign of interest and curiosity, that's why puppies do it more than adults. When you speak in a high voice and get right in the dog's face, they're going "WTF is this thing doing? lol", not "oh yay i r so happy that my human is squeaking at me like a retard ^_^".
Also a high pitch is a sign of distress, that's why puppies whine and whimper. It doesn't make them happy. It gets them riled up and excitable, and then they start barking and I get a migraine.

My dog is perfectly alright with me speaking to him in my normal voice. He's sociable and playful on his own.

So please,at least if I'm around, dumbshits, don't do that with your dogs. It's unnecessary, it makes the human race look like retarded dumbfucks, and it makes me want to kill you.

As for with cats, well, cats just don't give a shit about you anyway, so you're wasting your time trying to be friendly with them. Also, cats like for stuff to be calm. Having a cat fall asleep near you is the greatest trust they can give you. If you screech at them all the time, they're going to be skittish and flailing around everywhere when you're around. Although some breeds are like that on their own...

So basically, baby talk with animals makes you a fucking retard and it makes me want you to die in a fire.

People who refuse to train their dog or think that getting them to sit is all they really need. Your dog needs to sit, lie down, come when called, not pull on your leash when you walk it and take treats nicely not like a werewolf.

People go to the goddamn dog park and they stand there, ignoring their dog, so they can lecture the rest of the people at the dog park on whatever the fuck they're on about this week. I'm looking at you, dude who has the springer spaniel who goes to the dog park on Durango and DI. Your dog shits all over the place and you never fucking clean it up because you're too busy bitching about how nobody cleans up after their fucking dogs. Your dog acts like a cunt, biting and wrestling with the smaller dogs and you never do shit because you're to busy bragging about how important you are although we all know that if you were in any way important, you wouldn't be at the fucking dog park at 9am on a weekday. If someone has to tell you that your dog has hopped the fence and left the dog park and they have to work to get your attention to do so, YOU FUCKING SUCK AS A PET OWNER AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED AT THE PARK.

Piss off! It's only the retards who buy snakes as a fashion statement that should be burnt at the stake. Snakes aren't meant to be toted around like a piece of jewelery, or a "Pay Attention too Me!" ploy like most fucktards use them for.

I, however, enjoy my snake's company in moderately warm/slightly cool weather, which the pacific northwest is perfect for. I don't do it for the attention, and half the time he's under my sweatshirt.

Shit that makes me rage are people buying reptiles that they have no clue what they're doing, and buy them only for the "Oh look I'm cool now, lolol" bull shit. Seriously, it's still a fucking animal, even though it doesn't have fur, and if you're gonna spend time and money on a dog or cat, or a ferret, then you better do the same for a reptile. They definately aren't as adaptable as your normal house pets, and anything less than the best care, well, you'll have yourself one sick, or dead, snake/lizard/turtle.

I saw this on TV the other day, this blond Barbie-wannabe lady had a little Bichon Frise, and since she loved pink so much, she'd dyed her dog's fur pink. As if you couldn't tell by the obnoxious number of pink clothing she possessed, that she LOVES THE COLOR PINK. I wanted to smash her plastic face in.

I went to the pound a few years ago to adopt the two dogs that I have now, and there was a little black pomeranian in there, who looked pedigree, in perfect shape. When I asked wtf he was doing in the pound, the lady told me that "his mommy got rid of him because he turned out to be the wrong color". What color did you expect him to be, genius? I hate it when people use their pets as accessories.

And when people buy "tough" dog breeds (pit bulls, boxers, rottweilers, dobermans, etc) because they plan to make them fight, or buff them up in hopes of putting a collar on them that makes their neck look bulging and snapping a massive log chain leash to it, so they'll look like Godzilla tied to a shoelace and the person holding the leash is Machismo Manny so he can control the beast on the end of the chain.

Can you rage any harder? For fucks sake, people bitch non stop about people having snakes, and taking them out of their cage to handle them, or even take them out of their homes. How about you go bitch about something relevant to your concerns, like, say, dogs being left in a car with the windows rolled up?

Ball pythons, in question, need the temperature of 98.6F with a ten degree temperature flux, same as their natural habitat, taking them out for a period of no more than a few minutes, would hardly cause a large flux of body temperature, as you're implying, unless the temperature outside is below substantial, or there is a wind chill factor. Most snakes that have been accustomed to being handled, are not stressed when handled outside their cage for small periods of time (up to half an hour) as long as the temperatures don't rise or drop dramatically. Not only that, obviously you're implying that "enjoying my snake's company" means going out on the town and what not. Firstly, no, walking around the house or the yard, is more than enough for him. Secondly, unless you own a snake and have done your research on the animal, i suggest you insert foot into mouth, because you're starting to sound like a PETA fag or an elitist.

I hate it when a(n almost always small) dog comes at me snarling, teeth bared, hackles raised, and the owner says "Oh, (s)he is just playing." BULLSHIT!!!

I hate it when owners of small breeds spoil their dogs so the animals have the most disgusting dispositions, habits, etc.

There were these two dogs I grew up with: One was spoiled rotten and hated my guts for no reason, and was constantly snarling at me on sight (It was a shitspawn toy poodle).
The other was a cockerspaniel-Llhasa apso mutt who thought he was the cock-of-the walk. He'd get into trash, shit on the rug, steal food from the table when nobody was home/looking, and never got reprimanded. He'd also head for the outside door whenever it opened, and would snarl/lunge/snap if you ever tried to grab him or his collar while he was making his getaway.
