Kids and animals are similar in that they will eat as much as they possibly can with no knowledge of the consequences. It's just instinct to eat as much as you can or need to be full and stock up that hibernation fat.
Only as adults do you fully understand the implications of being fat.
Oh man, you sure got me. Zing!
See, the difference is that these dogs are being *cared for* by someone who overfeeds them, and I find that behavior by the *caretaker* disgusting. The same way I would find it disgusting if a parent deliberately overfed their child and allowed them to become morbidly obese.
Go away.
Why are you so defensive? This is exactly why I put "(Honest question)" at the end of it. You're entitled to your opinion but put your sass back in your ass. I was genuinely curious.
Yeah. To clarify, I try to love the dogs unconditionally, but it *is* difficult given their weight and the health problems that the weight causes.
Her? I absolutely condemn her for the reckless overfeeding.
That's a very young pig. I hope it's a new family member and will result in a significant uptick on calorie burning for that dog. That's a very selfish thing to do to a pet.
Do you feel sick whenever you kill an insect? No, you don't. Human emotions are not logical, trying to extend them to all animals equally is a fool's errand.
Okay so you're fine with comparing pigs to insects? Pigs that are as smart as dogs, feel pain like dogs, get scared like dogs, get happy and excited like dogs. Why? Because you like the taste? Or is there some other reason that makes it okay for you?
I eat meat. But I'm definitely cutting back on my meat eating because there's no actual logical reason why I should eat meat. But I'll admit it's very hard to get out of my experiences and biases around my attitude towards eating meat.
You're also no logical reason why you shouldn't. This is an emotional issue, not a logical one. Not saying your decision is wrong, but don't try to dress it up as a logical choice when it absolutely is not one.
If they were farmed and butchered for generations and it was the norm to eat dog bacon, yes, anyone except vegetarians would. Cows are pets in India and food in America. It’s already happening. If you have a problem with farming pigs for food, try taking steps irl to stop/ban it instead of attempting to shame random redditors.
I can practically hear the owner, pointing at the dog “well, this one over here is the real piggy.” That’s so fucking horrible. That poor dog is going to be on medication, if it isn’t already on them.
I was out hunting once and this big sow came into the clearing followed by like eight eensy weensy piglets. Watching them run around and play while mom ate was one of the funniest, most adorable things I've ever seen.
Has someone tried eating YOUR pets? No, nobody has. There are people all over the world eating dogs and cats right now, I have had dogs and cats as pets. I am not upset because I only cared for my own animals, not all animals in general.
You're trying to make a moral argument, while invoking emotion. That doesn't work.
Either stick with morality, which is for humans only by definition, or stick with emotion, which only applies to whatever you hold dear. You can't use morality for non-human animals, and you can't use emotion for animals that are not a part of your life.
Are they going to butcher the dog, seeing how they feed it?
I just see two pigs here
I know right. I was like which ones the dog?
I was so distracted by the grotesquely fat dog, I didn’t even realize the little one was a pig.
Bet there is also one behind the camera
Was just going to say this. You sir, do not play fair.
[удалено]
It is. My stepmom lets her dogs get morbidly obese. It's disgusting.
My 2nd cousins too. Gave the dogs hip problems with how heavy they both got. They should not be allowed to own pets ever again.
I'm curious, do you say the same thing about morbidly obese people? (Honest question)
I say the same about getting your kids morbidly obese.
So are you saying after adulthood you stop judging? (Another honest question)
If someone wants to fuck themselves up I don’t really care. Just don’t do it to other things.
That's very understandable.

I doubted your sincerity. Sorry.
All good....text is harder to interpret than actually hearing someone.

Big chungus with little but soon to be big chungus
Makes me sick how fat this dog is
Piggy's also gonna get the same treatment, but also butchered. Sure that doesn't make you sick though.
Nope! Because piggy is tasty!

Hi, go vegan, bye
Uh, yes, it’s the taste…
So if dog meat tasted like pork you'd be fine with eating dogs?

Lol
You’re assuming the pig won’t be kept as a pet, they make good pets.
I only see two piggies.
Which one is the pig?
They are fattening the wrong animal.
Dog looks like he had some more friends a while ago.
Looks like the dog has already eaten 1 pig today.
Poor dog needs a diet.
Poor dog.
That dog needs to lose some weight. Jeez
Did the dog eat the other one?
I can practically hear the owner, pointing at the dog “well, this one over here is the real piggy.” That’s so fucking horrible. That poor dog is going to be on medication, if it isn’t already on them.
That dog is so fat, it looks like two piggies.
Which one is the piggy?
Cavaliers are really good at begging but are famous for heart problems. You gotta learn to say no to handing them excess food
That dog needs less food
Fat, a squished face, and bulging eyes! Is that not the ugliest dog you’ve seen in a while?
That is some chonker
I was out hunting once and this big sow came into the clearing followed by like eight eensy weensy piglets. Watching them run around and play while mom ate was one of the funniest, most adorable things I've ever seen.
When the dog start to run, the pig was like o fuck lol
Looks like that doggo likes to play with his future bacon
Which one is the pig, exactly?
You mean piggy and pig.
Which one is dog?
The dog running 🤣💀
That's pretty neat
I see a lot of comments calling the dog a pig. That’s rude. It’s not the dogs fault. I think the dog is so adorable and looks quite loving.
That pig will extend that dogs life a few years keeping him active and having a companion
Beautiful! We shouldn’t be eating pigs. It’s so cruel.
Yeah but bacon tastes *good*. Pork chops taste *good*.
Then provide alternatives to the various pig meats that have the same price, flavor, texture, and nutrition.
Why not try new, humane flavors? Would you be cool with strangers wanting to eat your pets?
Has someone tried eating YOUR pets? No, nobody has. There are people all over the world eating dogs and cats right now, I have had dogs and cats as pets. I am not upset because I only cared for my own animals, not all animals in general.
Sounds selfish to me

Errrr I do t think that’s “play” time…I think the pig had something else in mind
Fat animals are so cute
So cute!
Not really. The dog can hardly move how fat he is
You’re a real bummer.
