i've ran into a few. They are all phaggots. Of course, its a small sample size :troll:

I think you can't really generalize about anyone who doesn't like dog, but what I DO notice when I walk my dog is that, depending on the culture, children are taught to either adore dogs or stay away from them. I rage sometimes when I'm just walking my dog on the sidewalk all normal and I see an old chinese grandma walking with her grandkids and when we get close, she pulls the kids close to her as if my dog was going to attack them for no reason. And no i don't have a pittbull, rotty or doberman, just a small lab.(55lbs)

i like dogs, but i wouldn't want to own one.. do i get to be included in your generalization?

I like dogs too, but when I'm on the street, I would avoid the medium-sized/large dogs because I have cynephobia. I have been called a druggie once too because a dog owner thought I was avoiding her dog because I had drugs in my backpack.

before we got our Golden Lab we had a Husky that had a mean streak in him, twice i mistakenly surprised him he bit my hand pretty good, we probably should have put him down from the bites but he ended up dieing at the age of 7 from a twisted stomach

once you've been bit by a dog it's hard to feel scared of any other dogs

I would like to know why.

I had 3 dogs when I was a kid, but had to give them away when we flew here. Since then, I've never own a dog, but I love dogs like I love my computer, maybe more.

My experience with dogs to date (and has never failed), is that they have 3 modes (i call it that). The friendly mode, the barking mode, and the ready to attack mode. For each mode, I have a way of gaining the dog's trust, but it takes a lot of patience. In the end, it's always worth it.

But my friend had a pitbull, and was abused when it was a puppy. When it was around 2 - 3 years old, it was almost impossible to gain its trust anymore. He even brought it to professionals to get it train and they all said the dog's mental health is permanently damaged.

Dogs, like children, would restrict my autonomy and suck my free time and money away. They both need constant attention, smell terrible, and don't react well to house guests.

Dogs and children also can't be left alone without care which means that I'd have to plan my life around this "thing".

Its not that I can't handle responsibility. Its not that I shouldn't be allowed to have something depend on me. Its just I don't -want- to because, fuck you, its my life not yours.

The only thing better about dogs than kids is that you can't just give your kid away. With a dog you can pawn him off to your pot smoking friend who needs someone to talk to when hes high off his ass and wants to babble about new and exciting flavors for potato chips.

You have no soul. Fuck you.

Fuck you and your moralism. Fuck dogs. Fuck babies. Most of all, fuck you.

Dog haters are just selfish pricks. And clearly it shows in this thread.

Hope you all get hit by a truck.

I hope we read about what happens to you in the shootings thread.

I hate you all.

Now that that's over with. Gun-toting dog haters are pricks.

As if you aren't already known to police.

It would pretty fucking hilarious if EB got taken down by a police dog. I'd assume you would hate dogs even more after that, cause dog-bite victims are mentally scarred forever apparently.

News Flash: VLS Moderator and criminal at large El Bastardo gets bitten by police dogs.

Revscene: OMG, he was such a nice person.

:rolleyes:

This goes to prove the RS userbase:

1. Hates dogs
2. Is incapable of rationalizing

I don't care if people don't like dogs, but the people that walk down the street and make snide remarks about my dog being "dangerous and aggressive" because he is pulling slightly on his 4 foot leash because he wants to sniff something, I would like to break their fucking jaw. Yeah, my dog sucks at walking, I get it. He's a 1 year old puppy, who was adopted after being starved and tied to a post in someones backyard, who still has never barked at anyone, bit anyone, shown his teeth to anyone or any other dog since I've had him. I'd say he's pretty fucking safe and mellow. And no, I'm not worried about him snapping and attacking me because he's a pitbull either. People have actually made that sort of stupid remark way more than I could have expected. Yet the people that like dogs are the exact opposite. Its, "Oh my god, he's so friendly, so excited to see everything."

This is very good information, thank you. Will add to my analysis. :D

They would eat your children if they had the chance

totally agree with this. one day i was out walking my 6month old american pitbull terrier and we walked by some old lady, i shortened his leash and had him walking beside me as we approached her(i dont do this for the dog, hes fucking awesome with people, i do it because most people are ignorant jerkoffs), shes looking down at the dog and for whatever reason he had his tongue out and licked his lips. she all of a sudden mudders out " oh he looks like hes gonna eat me, keep it away!". i was standing there in complete disbelief, gave the lady the most retarded stare and waked away lol. my dog might be a pitbull and has a lot energy, but he honestly loves every person he meets. small dogs are a different issue though lol.

oh and as i was typing this laying in my bed, he comes barging into my room jumps on my bed and attacks me with kisses :blush:

I think the main reason is not because they're afraid of dogs, but because they are afraid of the dog being afraid which can lead to aggression of the dog.

It's natural instincts to be aware that the dog will bite. Usually when I approach strangers with a dog on the streets, I would ask the owner first if it bites.

I think you are over complicating things. People who are afraid of dogs aren't afraid of the dog being afraid. They don't usually put together that dogs bite for defense. A big reason they probably don't like them is they think they are the aggressor naturally

Fixed my post with a bold line.

I admit I do think to a deeper degree than anyone else. It's like living in an area of survival. You see another survivor not of your race and language, you will instantly think of defense first before you think of cooperating. Your natural reaction will be to stay away from him because by approaching them, you will be afraid that it might threaten them to attack you.

If I saw your dog, I wouldn't run to the other side of the street. It's considered a medium to big size dog so it would be appropriate to ask you first before petting it for my safety and for your concern. Sniffing is a sign of the dog trying to acknowledge you and licking is usually a sign of the dog trying to befriend you. So if he barks, then I know to stay away haha.

My dog is friendly most of the time, but seems to like barking at people who look at him with fear in their eyes. I guess that doesn't help their phobias...

But then again, he's an overweight 10lb toy poodle that looks like a teddy bear...

I think it's an even smaller sample size where people are afraid of toy sized dogs, and yes, from the ones I've seen, "they are all phaggots".
