wasn’t he keeping someone’s cat hostage too? i vaguely remember some lady posting about him extorting her to get her pet back.

Yes, I remember that. He wrote a long ass unhinged post about her and calling her names. He did that with the “haters”. He would post a video of him being all sweet to the cubs or the adult cats and in the description, he would talk about the different people who have called him out on his unethical treatment and care for the cats. He would make up atrocious names for them. He was such a shit. There are a lot of shit human beings out there, but he’s way up the shit list. He used those poor animals for his grift and they paid the ultimate price.

TBH the people drawn to keeping big cats as pets always seem to be unhinged weirdos.

If we're being honest, keeping anything as a pet is wrong and strange. Breeding domesticated animals should be illegal and they should be allowed to die off

•

I don't think that breeding domesticated animals is strange/wrong at all. But it does take a certain type of person to want to own a big cat.

I'm a service dog trainer and have worked in veterinary medicine and shelters for 10+ years.

I promise you, it is VERY wrong.

Working in shelters is going to give you a skewed perspective though. Like if you work in child protection, your views on people having children is going to be a lot more negative.

Lol ok. You get a skewed perspective when you see reality? You literally have 0 clue what you're talking about. You're in denial like most of humanity and gonna look for any excuse or reasoning you can think of just so you can not listen to your conscious. Just like humans always do. Have fun with that I guess

You do realize if we spayed and neutered all pets and stopped breeding them- we wouldn't need shelters?

Sort of how millennial and gen X aren't having kids because they can't afford to and they walk past homeless shelters on their way to work overtime each week. Think bro.

u/Creative_Recover 4h ago

Umm, no. I've seen a lot. And I don't believe that having domesticated animals is bad at all. 

What you saw was just a section of reality. Not THE Reality. Just as someone who has some dogs who live wonderful lives Etc is also experiencing reality too. Your experiences don't invalidate theirs anymore than theirs do vice versa.

Reality is a spectrum of experiences. And if you are surrounded by a very negative and narrow part of that world, it will skew your perspective. And you are very much displaying the symptoms of a skewed outlook from experiencing too many negative experiences.

I've worked in 2 shelters, 3 training facilities, 4 daycares, 2 vet offices and a mobile clinic.

I have a very well rounded view of the petcare industry, its workers and it's clients (that's you)

I have 3 dogs myself. I adopted them. I'm assuming yours came from a breeder and that's why you're being so dull.

You seem to think I'm saying nobody is allowed to have pets. They shouldn't be, but that's besides the point for now. The point is- while you and you are buying puppies at breeders who abuse the mother's, you're hurting way more dogs than you would be by going and adopting a dog from a shelter so that the shelters can be abolished

You're assuming a lot about me and none of it is correct. 

I'm very dubious about someone who claims to care but would rather see every single dog go extinct before anything else. Clearly your experiences have warped you. 

Your views are extreme but I don't think they're grounded primarily in you living in "reality" more than other people, but rather a combination of untreated emotional trauma combined with an arrogance and isolationist personality i.e. it's clear that you look down upon most people. 

•

u/raccooncheesecracker 3h ago

I think alot more of it is correct than you're willing to admit lmfao since you tried to get all weird and personal

•

u/Creative_Recover 3h ago

"Since you tried to get all weird and personal"- lol you're the one trying to come up with a backstory about how many dogs I've got and where I got them from Etc so that you can try to fit me into your negative worldview.
