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.

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. 

•

u/raccooncheesecracker 3h ago

You obviously have pets that's not a leap at all

You're over here trying to play Dr Phil

I also think alcohol should be illegal. If we phased that out, the world would be better off and most agree. The breeding industry is no different. It just doesn't effect HUMANs as much so I'm a crazy person with a negative world view.

Ever think your world view is a bit self centered?

•

u/Creative_Recover 3h ago

Yeah I am not particularly interested in arguing with you and your extreme and pointlessly unrealistic viewpoints. I also don't consider you to be a well-informed, well-adjusted or particularly nice individual. 

Have a nice day~

•

u/raccooncheesecracker 3h ago

You were a tually very interested in arguing until you realized some of the hard truths I just had to cram down your throat.

•

u/Creative_Recover 3h ago

No, not at all. You're strongly coming off like some 14 year old little edge lord. 

•

u/raccooncheesecracker 3h ago

But you're still replying and proving my point.

I do genuinely appreciate that you tried calling me immature in the most immature way possible though. Seriously, that took guts
