No but cat owners assume if you don't like cats you're a major piece of shit. It's really weird. I just don't enjoy the company of cats, nothing more to it.There's a substantial overlap in the Venn diagram of dog owners and insecure pricks. Particularly the large, assault weapon type breeds. Add a blacked out, lifted truck and sunglasses at night you basically have the archetypical "please think I'm a badass" bro. Never see cat owners calling people gay for not owning a cat.
I made Grok draw a picture for clarification.

My dream dog is a GSD, which I guess you could constitute as a assault weapon dog, but I drive a Honda Accord so I think I'm ok.
explain to me why the neighbor walking on the other side of the street at 8am was dragged to the ground and lost control as the German Shepard ran across the street then lunged at my wife and bit me in the process. then bit its owner who tried to get control of it?You're okay regardless, because the only people who don't appreciate German Shepherds are ones who don't understand it's not an assault weapon or a dog. It's a member of the family who understands it's role and will faithfully carry it out until the day it no longer can, with no complaints or disagreements.
Mine had a couple broken teeth and a torn ACL and still patrolled the house all night and watched over the children until they didn't need watching anymore. Yes, you will vacuum more. You'll only care when you don't have to vacuum anymore after 10 or 15 years.

Or you can get a cat.

There are only a few breeds that are generally amiable out of the box (labs), but even they just bumble around like retards without training.
If a persons dog would just kill them or maim them I'd be fine with it but it's mostly innocent 3rd parties that get attacked.Because just like most things in the world, people can't be bothered to put the most minimal amount of effort into owning a dog?
The first part is the problem. The dog is rarely the problem. Just because people say "fuck it" 5 seconds after they manage to get the dog to piss outside doesn't mean the dogs are the issue.
Just like everything else, there's 1000 channels on YouTube to show you how to do it and get as much or as little out of your dog if you want. Might as well be bitching about people not changing their own oil too, but we don't blame the car.
Cats are likely way more dangerous than dogs pound for pound, they just weigh 8 pounds. Nobody cares about chihuahua attacks.Cats are just as shitty as dogs, if not more so, but they're smaller. A 50-lbs feline would just be an indoor bobcat.
I've noticed that many people seem to use their pets as a reflection of their own identity
A childhood friend of mine, now an adult, bought a Rottweiler and kept repeatedly telling us how his dog could beat up another dog...Dogs substantially reflect the emotional mood and stability of their owners, too. I've never met a chill, grounded, responsible person who had a psychotic dog. I'm sure there's selection bias involved, but I also see it when we dogsit. My wife and I have the space and work from home and often sit for friends who travel. Even with pets I don't get along with in their own homes, after a couple days with us their dogs are relaxed, friendly, and lounging around with ours.
Ive gotten really lucky with the two cats I have.The cats we have are trained more than usual cats. We spent a lot of time with them as kittens socializing them. Now they are quite dog-like in their behaviour. They hang out with us whatever room we're in. They follow us about. They will jump in to our laps when invited, they come on command. When our kids were babies the cat slept every night on the mat in front of the crib, and when the kids were awake would curl up with them and love on them, even when the kids were being kids and pulling ears and such. Cats are awesome.
