    I know this is a joke, but a bad dog is so much more of a problem than a bad cat. (Not counting feral animals)

    Bad cat: angry, wants you to leave them the fuck alone, scratches you at the slightest provocation

    Bad dog: hyperactive or jumps all over you or barks at you, can seriously injure or kill you.

    Our society takes for granted that you can take your dog anywhere (in Australia at least), and I don’t think enough emphasis is placed on the fact if you can’t 100% control your dog, don’t bring it anywhere near people.

    The number of people saying “oh he’s friendly” as their dog scares someone afraid of dogs because they’re jumping up on them is stupid.

    This society values dogs more, and I just don’t get it.
