You run from niggers. Having slaves would literally cause you to have a panic attack that exceeds anything previously measured. Ain't gotta lie Jill. Do you need your dish filled? -

Ash seems to want to stay inside more, although it could be because of the weather. When it's sunnier I want her to get out more, just for exercise, sunlight, fresh air, stimulation/novelty.
She's started to be a bit more playful and silly at times, batting at me and giving me love bites, but I think it's sweet.
I've been hit by a feral cat I've been feeding, Bella's son/daughter (Doesn't let you touch it so you can't really check, not that it really matters) and they can smack you with surprising force, even without using their claws. Never became angry because I understand it was never socialized with people during the critical period, and has reverted to something closer to the natural wild behavior of cats. It doesn't know any better, is just afraid of people, for a good and strongly ingrained reason, and hitting it would just make it afraid of me, possibly permanently, ruining everything I've been working toward.
It's similar with very young children. They, and animals, simply don't have the cognitive capacity to really understand what they did wrong and understand that what you're doing to them is a punishment for it, to attempt to prevent them from doing it again. The best you can achieve will be a sort of fear conditioning where they're just terrified of doing certain things, and they'll probably react in a manner that's nothing like what you would have wanted.
Although, this can be useful if you don't associate it with yourself. For example, if you want to keep cats off furniture, buy something that makes a noise and startles them, but be very careful not to let them associate it with you, think you're the source of it.
If you hit kittens when they're young they can flinch for the rest of their life when you just want to pet them, and may always be distant, resistant to physical contact and affection. That's not what you want in an animal companion. It's a terrible outcome, especially if you accept that it was your own mistake that caused it. -

2017-05-17 at 4:50 AM UTCPeople that hit their pets are truly the scum of the earth. It's even worse than hitting your kids. Pets rarely if ever do things maliciously and the bad things they do are almost always stemmed from their basic instincts and/or curiosity.
Abusing an animal is the ultimate form of bullying and is done almost exclusively by low-confidence shit-heels who gain some cringe sense of superiority knowing they have control over a little animal. It's sad, for all parties.
Anyone that enjoys seeing an animal suffer is without a doubt a bad, miserable person, like 100% of the time. There's nothing that can logically explain why someone would enjoy that, encourage it, or partake in it, outside of severe mental issues.
Side note: the faggot cops that will shoot and kill dogs with no hesitation are beyond even regular animal abusers. Fuck those cops.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Kinda like people. -
2017-05-17 at 4:53 AM UTCExactly.
MQ, it's not just about sadism, but ignorance, a lack of impulse/self-control, and anger/emotional problems are often a large part.
The human race tends to be in a pretty sorry state. A good pet is far better in a multitude of ways than most people you will ever meet. They don't cause you anywhere near the amount of problems and suffering, emotional pain, that people can. -

I certainly agree. I've addressed the many benefits of owning a cat. Dogs are cool too. I like dogs. I like all animals. I've never felt any urge to hunt them, kill them, treat them poorly, or abuse them.
This isn't to say there aren't times where Chootie has scratched me and I've wanted to fucking pick her up and throw her across the room, at that exact moment, out of surprised anger and pain. Fortunately I'm not that retarded and can suck it up and accept I got scratched by a cat and gee that's not the first or last time it'll happen.
It's appropriate to teach your pets right from wrong and you can do that with mild pats on the butt or tense words. That's really all it takes. If you have to go past that it exemplifies you as being a shitty pet owner, it's that simple. In the rare case of unruly or just outright obnoxious pets, they may not be right for you to try and lovez but they don't deserve to be hurt. Can you imagine being kicked and beat the shit out of because someone thought you were too loud, or spilled something on the floor?
Like a crying baby that a dad or mom shakes, so can be a barking puppy or scratching kitty I guess. In all cases it is literally an animal being instinctful and an owner being intolerant, malicious, and essentially demonstrating that they are in fact a basic bitch when it comes to terms with their emotional fortitude. -

The worst part is that people who do it say, "But it works! Right?"
Like yeah, that's not the fucking point. Go kill yourself. I get that physical stuff can can work with some animals but you don't ever need to inflict pain to get the message through. I used to have a dog that I not once laid a hand on and he wouldn't even eat if nobody told him to.
