Most people shouldn't own dogs

That's every thread in existence.

ROFL no - there are threads that show a lot more factual discernment in their OP over straight judgement bias.

I'm being naughty really, because you are fully entitled to your bias - as are well all when it is a preference or judgement based endevour.

There isn't an objective case/discernment for 'dog parents that treat their animals like humans are wrong/bad'. 

But of course, it's a legit thing that irks people. Ick provoking

Most dogs shouldn't allow people to own them, then. Why don't they create dog unions to fight back against inequality, why don't they just get jobs?

Because humans, over the span on 15,000 - 30,000 years, brainwashed dogs into bonding with us so hardcore - we altered their evolutionary biology to need and want to work with us 

tl;dr we are cu***

We love our dog. She is her own dog not beholden to anyone. At the same time is is utterly and miserably dependable on us to feed her and look after her. We love her and she loves us. I also recognize she is completely brainwashed since a puppy to be a good girl and follow directions from us. It's a cruel world. Is it animal cruelty? In a sense yes, in another sense she has a loving home and that's more than most pets can ask for? Is she happy? I dunno ask her! But obviously she would prob be most happy running wild and free with other packs of wild dogs chasing a rabbit for dinner and fighting with the other dog clans. Her name Kaffi, she special to us!

@LoneWonderer  I LOVE!

Whatever we have done to dogs to make them adore and bond to humans - it's real now. The joy I get from my girl - no words. She comes with me to the office while I work so she isn't alone in an apartment all day. 3x walks. I cook her meals because I just cannot bare to think of a being under my care living off nothing but dry kibble and packaged MyDog shit. She is a minipoodle, but unlike most small dogs, is highly trained and doesn't bark. I put lots of time into training her - and she trained me as well. To be more diligent, attentive and careful. I learned a lot through caring for her. It was a symbiotic enriching process.

Sometimes I am legit dead at the end of the day, no energy, falling asleep throwing a ball against the wall for her. 

Worth it!

They could've resisted our domestification attempts like elks or mooses did. Or like elephants have, and many other animal species that are too wild to "tame". Apparently it had to be a mutually beneficial deal, otherwise they'd have to reject us and get a job instead
