Many pet lovers do not love Earth and it's inhabitamts (including other humans) minus the specific pet they have emotionally latched onto.

These kinds of misanthropic liberals don't deserve to consume feel-good-bittersweet stories about animals surviving hardship
Send them the dozens of videos of animals in Gaza with their limbs snapped off by IOF bombs, that's all these fuckers deserve to witness

I think it's unexamined ideology. there's a project to indoctrinate us to not have empathy for humans in distress, to see their circumstances, generally, as a product of their choices.
there is something similar at work for animals, but it's less acute and relies a lot on "out of sight, out of mind" and speciesism. animals in the built environment are pretty tightly controlled in the US. shit, imagine the amount of effort it would take to overcome the outcry over the number of loose, feral dogs getting blasted by cars we would have to see here.
guarantee most people who wanted to save this dog and ignores the human passively assumed this guy could "take care of himself" in a way they felt the dog could not.

Yup. It’s rationalized (if at all) as “this person is in this situation because of their choices and they can choose something else” vs “this poor dog didn’t choose to be here we need to rescue it”

This is so fucking bleak
-
the western brainpan is only capable of caring about life they deem fit to be pets.

Dog people are some of the worst psychopaths JFC. I don't get how you can love dogs, but then have nothing but contempt for cats, humans (especially children), and non-mammals. What causes this? It's probably sadists are drawn to dogs over other living things, right?
-
Never met a dog person who actively hated other non-human mammals, did met all kind of racists that loved their pets.
-
It's a distinctly reactionary angle, because these are also people who do not actually respect their dogs
They like their dogs, but their dogs are their property
This is why they have such contempt about other animals, because they view them as invaders or detritus
-
because dogs are obedient, humans cats and other animals don't take a few treats and pets to become subservient, a dog is so domesticated it isn't an animal anymore, it's a tool, an animal bred and trained for the sole purpose of being a police dog doesn't have choice and doesn't say no. I haven't slept in a while and I don't know if I'm saying nonsense but dogs are the last socially acceptable minions, I've noticed that the moment westerners stopped making it socially acceptable to make their kids minions they had a decline in wanting to have kids.
-
nobody has ever decided not to have kids because they believed they couldn't be controlling over them, lol

Would this happen to be at the same time that the cost of everything, especially raising kids, began to skyrocket while wages stagnated/fell? That really would be some coincidence

This seems like an extreme generalization.
-
...dog people and authoritarians have a large overlap: in-group / out-group, it's all a thing...

Oh.
Yeah.. that is just bullshit. I want to be mad but I'm just sad. Offering to take away his companion to appease your own idea of morals.
I question if western cultures have real empathy for other humans. -
If the internet had been overflowing with pictures of zionist stormtroopers torturing cats and dogs and bombing pet hospitals the way we have seen them do to human beings, the "state of Israel" would have been nuked off the map by now.
-
I've seen a couple videos of Zionists killing or torturing cats. I think some of them associate cats with Arabs/Muslims.
-
At this point, who can be surprised that they're also doing that?

The dog wouldn't want to die without him. Dogs are almost like our symbiotes.
Even though I’d set up the cat tree on her insistence, Donut jumped straight onto my neck and settled in.
“Goodnight, Carl,” she said.
“Goodnight, Donut,” I said, patting her head.
“Promise me you won’t let me die alone like GumGum’s mom,” she said. “Or GumGum. I guess she died alone, too. She was probably really scared.”
“Don’t worry, Donut,” I said. “We’ll find out who’s responsible, and we’ll make them pay.”
I'm just reading the "Dungeon Crawler Carl" series (which includes "The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook") and he sort of inherits his ex-girlfriends cat Donut. Then the earth is flattened by aliens because we failed to file and appeal 50 years after first content and Carl is forced into a Running Man style dungeon for the alien's entertainment. Luckily his cat Donut evolves and becomes intelligent and can shoot magic missiles out of her eyes. She later says:
“You promised me that I wouldn’t die alone,” she said. “You can’t keep that promise if you die before me. We do this together.”

Not surprised, it's kind of like first world feminism bleeding into terf shit, animal welfare groups putting the dog above the human. It's sad because you can want animal liberation while also looking out for people too, but I guess they missed the memo.
If gaza was full of dogs instead of children then the west would have occupied Tel Aviv by now.
Some months ago I went to Buenos Aires, we were chilling in a square with many dogs and their owners, one guy turned out to be an Israeli who had "rescued this dog from the war"...
I'm generally distrustful already, but I'm especially distrustful of White people who claim to be big 'animal lovers'.
I had an ex who visited my home country with me. Some areas are dirty and very poor, lots of people working, walking, and kids begging for money. She was fine with all of it until she saw some puppies in the street, then she cried and became critical of how unsafe it was for puppies to be in that environment. Accused my family and I about being heartless because we didn't mind the dogs. Oh, but fuck the kids, right? Needless to say, it didn't go over well.
Thing is I'm sure the IOF have killed plenty of dogs, along with their owners.
I've ran into (liberal) animal rights activists who really fit the stereotype of being misanthropes who would kill hundreds to save one animal. It just feels so... Wrong.
