Dogs should be Banned

[Estenia]

Wait, wasn't Infected Mushrooms also the guy who wanted to outlaw public nudity because the thought of somebody else naked could traumatize him?

I think he kinda is afraid of everything.

There are many holes in the claim to ban dogs. The one that originally stated that dogs should be banned has no logical/humane reason to even make people want to ban dogs.

In one post, the same person stated that dogs are unnecessary for societies to function. In fact many things are not necessary for society to function, and yet humans, and perhaps even that poster, uses those objects in their everyday life.

Though this is just me stating part of my opinion, and everyone has their own opinion (which really has no importance in the universe, again my own opinion, which shouldn't be taken literally) that they believe to be true, thinking that everyone would see it their way, and that is clearly what is happening.

[Grinning Dragon]

NO!

Why?

Why? Quite obvious that there are more pros to having a dog than there are cons.

I was walking down the stairs from the train when I was approached by some tall human beings asking if I had money or a phone. I told them I had neither yet I had my phone and my wallet with my debit card on me. They threatened to search me and I told them they wouldn't find any money on me. They then forced me to take my phone out of my pocket and looked at it for a while. They then gave it back to me, seeing the scratches on it.

1. Humans are dirty, repulsive and ignorant. Some of them don't own homes and move into other people's homes and cause pollution from the stench known as body odor. They believe in shouting to their friends when they are only meter's away and shouting down their phones so they can take snapchats.

2. They are rude and all look different, making them harder to identify.

3. They should be more dog.

Plus everywhere they've colonised species died out pretty much immediately And huge outbreaks of disease began

Despite the cute cat avatar I have, I generally agree with the principle of the OP but in a much broader way then just dogs. We should stop keeping animals as pets and eventually wean it down to just having domesticated animals for food.

No! For one thing, domesticated dogs and cats would die in the wild. Two, they can help us feel better when we are down, and three, so long as we have pet liecences, animals will never attack us except for obvious reasons, IE: You're getting to close, you're ignoring the warning signs there getting mad etc. Domestic animals aren't all cruel, it depends on the owner. My dog had a loving family, and about all he did was lick you. The only bad part was he went around the neighborhoods, seeking other dogs for You know what.

[Gigaverse]

WHAT? YOU MUST BE BANNED.

I am most incline to agree with this opinion.

[Wind in the Willows]

They are dangerous

It depends on how the owners have treated them. If they have been abused in the past, there is a slight chance they might be aggressive but that behaviour usually settles down after being in a loving environment for a couple of weeks or so.

The Dog Droppings

I live in an area fortunate enough to not have to deal with these sights, as everyone picks up their dogs droppings on the streets in my area. However they should just raise the fines for the owners and that will probably sort it out.

And last of all,
I think we should ban you from posting such idiotic things on this forum.

I'd argue exactly the opposite.
We can stop using them for food because this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_vitro_meat is about to happen.
But we need them for psychological reasons. I'd have lost all sanity by now without my dog's unconditional love, and I'm sure a lot of other people who are different or disabled or even just going through hard times would agree with me.

That's absolutely disgusting. I'm not eating that test-tube shit, but I would never eat a dog or cat, or any other pet. I'll stick to my cows, pigs, etc thank you very much.

Hidden in this bizarrely written OP is essentially the statist philosophy - "anything I don't like must be banned."

Dude, it pollutes the environment less, it doesn't require the killing of conscious beings (pigs have just as many feelings as dogs and cats), and it tastes like real meat because it's made of exactly the same cells.

Personally, I think that eating dogs and cats is a good idea. I mean, with the amount of strays in the cities spreading disease these days, its a good way to lower their numbers while also making use of their bodies. As long as they're cooked and sterilised, I see no problem with eating cats and dogs. Besides, I've got pet chickens and I still eat chicken.

I respect your opinion but eating dogs and cats is a bad thing, they don't have vitamins, they eat everything, they have their illnesses which human can't face.

Not all bacteria is killed by heat, you know that right?

[Chilokver]

Yep, but you could sterilize it with UV light or radiation.

Radiation can kill people in a matter of days. Still bad idea.

Most things in a hospital are sterilized with electromagnetic waves (Gamma radiation, IIRC)

Dude, just get a dog to protect you. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a dog is a good guy with a dog. Or a handgun. Or a stick and the ability to yell "Fetch."
