My Rising Fury Against Asshole Pet Owners
Its no secret that I've been in the market for a dog ever since I found out we were buying a house with some space. And its no secret that I love animals so it should come as no surprise that I harbor a deep and intense hatred of any asshole human who mistreats their animal.

I've been reading pet adoption sites for several weeks now and the gamut of stories is sickening. People treat living, breathing animals that were parts of their family like furniture when they move and can't take the dog with them. One site had a story about some lowlife owner who shot his dog in the head before abandoning it at the pound. What the fuck is wrong with people?

The same goes for people that get dogs to raise them as mean, aggressive attack dogs when they live in residential neighborhoods. There's nothing less fun than watching some moron with an 80 pound pitbull that's looking at you and your dog like a midday snack.

All of these realizations have led me to a few conclusions.

One, anytime I go for a walk with my dog, I'll be carrying mace and an expandable baton.
Two, I will never suffer an animal abuser's "company" and will tell them to leave my house or I will remove myself from their company. Anyone who's craven enough to attack an animal is not someone I have any interest in being associated with (not to mention the pending karmic backlash, I don't want to be around them when that piano falls on their head).
Three, an untrained dog is the same as leaving a loaded gun laying around. They are a danger to themselves and a danger to their families. Training is a good thing.

Any scumbag out there who uses his dog as a punching bag should be jailed and treated like the coward they are. Animals are not furniture, animals are not disposable, animals are not your property, they are part of your family. Treat them as such (and if you abuse your family then do everyone a favor and drown yourself).
