so, are there, here on dA ANY group dedicated to animals, pets and wild animals, but not treated them as a cute-furry creatures (even if it's a cat or Chihuahua)
because I tried few groups and every time I get into one of those stupid ones, you know, where domestic pets are treated as humans and are consider as "cute" - actually, my cat and dogs of my friends can be cute, but they are still ANIMALS and they have wild instincts, even if you call your beloved cat "Fluffy"...
for example:
[link] - my beloved dog, Argo.. he was the most awesome dog, even tough he was lazy and he never fetch.. he bitten me 3 times, in my hand mostly because I was teasing him when I was younger and I often put my hands into his food bowl :>
see? even your beloved dog can bite you - it is still an animal, not a freakin toy, it won't understand you or at least it won't as people can understand each other
btw IMO it's the most stupid idea to put down a dog or cat just because it attacked plastic hand - yeah, I'm telling about Animal Cops - I admire what they do and they do hell a lot of good work but that one thing it's a turn off... it's like a, I don't know, you want a real animal in your house or some plushie? cat's scratches and dogs and bite you - it is a risk that you taking with you and you have to accept it that some day with no reason at all your pet can attack you or some other family member, your child or best friend
I know my cat and she can be a bitch to others - she doesn't like other people - so I tell my guests every time "this is an animal and she doesn't like to be touched, ignore her" - most people follow my rules but there are some stupid people, and they have some strange need of touching pets because "it so cute, fluffy, omg" - I'd kill such retards but my cat usually does the work and scratches them :]
does that mean that I should put down my cat? hell no
and the most important thing: I'd never left alone small kid with ANY animal, no matter if it would be a tiger or 20year old lab.. you gotta be retard to trust an animal
so, is there any group for animal lover who treats animals like animals and not sweet objects which you can cry on or cuddle?
