A friend of a friend is a huge pet (dog) lover, I will call her Peta-bitch. Peta-bitch is, well, a bitch. I dont normally have to see her, but when I do, I always have to listen about how everything I do in life results in an animal somewhere, somehow, dying or suffering beyond belief.
So last night Peta-bitch and friends went out to dinner, and God only knows how this came up, but someone asked her if she was driving a car and a dog and a child ran out onto the road, which would she swerve to avoid? Of course, her answer was the dog. Really. She would rather run over the child. Seriously.
As to the whys of Peta-bitch’s thinking, read this gem:
“I would hit the child because first, the child shouldn’t be in the street. he should know better. Second, even though the child would be hurt, he would at least know why he was hurting. That poor dog would suffer and not even know why.”
No poetic or pit license here… that is what she said.
I was speechless, just speechless. But once the power of speech returned, and with all care and sensitivity I replied"
“Are you out of your mind? If saving a child required me to stomp a dogs head to a bloody pulp, I would do it. I would do it twice if needed.”
Well, needless to say dessert wasn’t served that night. And I doubt I will be seeing Peta-bitch or friends anytime soon. Now that you have the background, here is my mini-pit rant…
Fuck you, you pet loving, hairy arm, lye soap using, snobby bitch. I dont think your special or unique because you love animals so much. And i’m not sorry you left the restaurant in tears after our conversation. Let me say this plainly… animals are not people. Period. Your dumbass ugly fuck of a dog doesn’t “love” you. I could take your dog tomorrow, feed him, pet him, and in a day or two he wouldn’t wag his tail if he smelled you coming. And he would smell you coming, we all do, even the people reading this are smelling you, they just dont know thats what was so stinky!
And a hearty “fuck you” to any person who shares the idea that a pet holds equal value to human life*. Sorry if you think your pet is your “baby”, hes not. hes a pet. And he could give a fuck about you. he just wants food and companionship. Dont give him those things, and he would ignore your sorry ass and look for it elsewhere.
*obviously this is a broad statement, and their are some “humans” out there I wouldn’t hurt a goldfish for, much less a dog. but in general, I stand by what I said.
