Are you an animal lover?

El Guapo!

Well, are you? (Yes I know it's a crap thread but I'm ijn work and I'm bored. Humour me)
I love dogs. Mans best friend and all that.
I wouldn't say I'm a crazy animal lover, like all that "Fur is murder" stuff. It's comfy murder.
Not a big fan of pigeons though. They have to be the laziest birds on the planet. They have wings, and they're all perfectly capable of flying but no, they choose to walk everywhere. Trying to walk around town is a nightmare because of all these fat little bastards waddling around the footpath. Every one of them is obese. "Fly you poxy rat with wings!!"
I don't like cats either. They always look like they're planning something.
Seals are cool. Mainly because they all look retarded and they're funny to watch.
So what about yourself?

I love dogs, detest pigeons, hate cats and lurve seals.

You, Dean, are my perfect partner! Any chance you travel on the 44 bus?

Animal lover? No. Beastiality fan? Occasionally.

Love in what way?

I like pussy...

But I love cock.

PucaMama

i like animals even the pigeons they dont get in your way THAT much! i think we get in their way

i have 5 hamsters and 2 cockatiels and a fighter fish.

Seals are pretty cool no arguments there, baby seals with their furry coats are just adorable.

Staying on the sea life theme, I had the pleasure of viewing Orcas up close one time. Magnificent beasts.

Jerrica

I am a dog lover, cat despiser.

Does that count?

Mr Benevolent

Yes, I love dogs. Literally.

I love to eat animals, mainly cows, pigs and chicken. Other little animals like dogs I like to pet and crocodiles I just like to look at from a distance, or on telly. We're also animals, and I don't know if I'm a big people lover, people can be awful jerks.

meoklmrk91

Yes I am, not a nutter or anything but really like animals. Hate to see anything happening to them, anyone being cruel to them, it drives me mad and really pisses me off and if anyone of did something like that in my presence I would be probably end up being arrested.

Also most people who don't like cats have never owned one, cats are the ****. There seems to be a prevalence in Ireland that dogs are cool and everyone should be nice to them but **** cats, because they are creepy/evil/ whatever BS excuse they come up with, drives me up the wall, surely any normal person wouldn't like to see anything happen to any animal.

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”~ Mahatma Gahandi

We aren't doing a very good job of living by this as a country and I agree it says an awful lot about us.

NegativeCreep

I love my little doggy but I rarely like anyone else's dogs though. I think it's because they're not as cute as my dog. I've never seen a cuter or more friendly dog than my own
I like cats and struggle to see why people don't. Cats have a similar temperment to myself so I get on well with them
Foxes are gorgeous. I like all types of foxes arctic, red and especially fennec foxes!
I don't really have a problem with the fur industry. I think it's ok to buy rabbit fur and things like that because they are a pest anyway!
I love lizards and reptiles and I even like the huge spiders (but I don't like the common house spider) I want to have a geco and a spider as a pet one day. That'd be pretty cool.

I fupping love dogs. So much so that when I see a nice one I will usually point at it and say "Aww, look at the wuffins!"

mauzo

I love dogs, would love to have a cat and I like to eat the rest. Especially pidgeon.

The King of Moo

Dogs are simply the best. They have all the qualities I like in people: positive, affectionate, dedicated to having fun but also considerate at times (see how the most hyper dog will suddenly become super-protective and careful around a toddler).

I respect some cats for their attitude and for occasionally being fun, but the general selfishness and snobbery of them does tend to put me off.

Honourable mentions go to wolves, elephants, and monkeys and apes.

I love reptiles. Always have. Sharks and alligators are my favourite animals.

In Florida now and love picking up the lizards that do be running around.

I've had sex with a great ape.

Daniel S

Love dogs (big dogs in particular, e.g. Lab/Golden retriever and bigger), sloths, horses and dolphins. Pretty much anything that has some form of loyalty or appears to have some.

Couldn't care less about cats/birds/snakes etc. Actually it surprised me how little I cared about a cat that had been hit by a car and it's eyes had popped out with pink shíte behind them. Seem to see them an awful lot around where I live .

Cows/chickens/pigs are dinner so I don't think about them at all.

Also, I fooking hate small dogs bar beagles and maybe one or two other exceptions.

Cats hate me, I hate cats

It's a fair relationship

Actually hate is a bit strong, it's more like cats don't give a damn about me. Food and shelter whores, it's all they are

seven_eleven

I am a cat lover
a dog lover
a bird lover (except crows and pigeons)
a cow lover
a horse lover
a seal lover



Yeah, I just like nearly every animal. But as op stated, not to the point of particularly caring about eating meat and stuff. Too bad I dont have any animals myself

I should also mention I hate people who despise cats. Deal breaker for me.

Bubblefett

I love dogs, have 2 little woofs myself. Also recently took in a stray kitten.
I'm the kind of person who can't pass a dog wandering alone without stopping and checking that they're okay or lost. I return a dog to their owner at least once every 2 weeks.

You love foxes and yet you dont have a problem with the fur industry? You do realise they farm foxes for fur? In tiny cages where they can barely turn around in. They have to lie on the mesh of the cage. Faeces can pile up in the cage and is never cleaned out. The cages are are lined up together so that the animals try fight with each other through the cages. They try bite through the wires injuring themselves and they NEVER get any medical treatment even if they break a jaw/leg/whatever. And then to top it all off they are electrocuted by sticking eltrodes in the anus and another in the mouth and then skinned.
Do you still have no problem with the fur industry??

Awww they are what I miss about Florida the most My sister accidentally stood on one once and I nearly killed her They're so small and cute and misunderstood. I saw a few kids going around and torturing them and standing on them when I was over there. I went over and told their parents and they were punished by not being allowed to go to disneyland that day. Bit harsh but they deserved it

SusieBlue

I don't like most animals as a general rule. I'm terrified of dogs, since I was bitten by one as a child.

I'm weary of almost every other animal I've come across, especially birds and cats though I'm not as afraid of them as I am of dogs.

I'd never have one in the house.

Despite this I'm not one of those people that likes seeing animals hurt/would hurt animals. I don't want them near me but at the same time I think they should be protected and well looked after. Just not by me

El Guapo!

No it's mainly only rabbit fur that I don't care about. I hate the thought of foxes being farmed for fur

I love all animals except for midges, crane flies, small annoying dogs, tasmanian devils and hyenas.

DEFTLEFTHAND

I find that dogs are universally loved because of their blind loyalty to the owner. Humans need to feel loved and important and the canine certainly props up that need.

The cat sees you for what you are and doesn't initially fall in love. It takes time and effort to win their trust. Their independent streak means that they'll never truly rely on the person like the dog does. Some people misconstrue that for coldness or arrogance.

I keep both animals and find them each to be rewarding pets in their own way.

I nearly got my ear torn off by a doberman as a kid, and I was chased by a pack of Irish wolfhounds... twice... Still love dogs.

Wouldn't get one myself though because it's an absolute bastard to keep the house clean with hair, and it's too mean to keep them outside.

Rabbits are treated the exact same way in the fur industry..as are mink, dogs, chinchilla and whaetever else they use...Its not like the rabbits have had a grand aul life running around in the fields and then get shot for their fur...they are farmed for it, in the most vile conditions you could imagine..

Shenshen

I'd say I am... we share our house with four cats.
My husband's been vegetarian ever since he found out as a kid that meat is dead animals, and I've been vegetarian myself for the last 4 years now.
No, don't worry, the cats get fed on meat. We're vegetarians, not fanatics.

The only animals I dislike are spiders (creepy, horrible things. I leave them alone outside, but once they come into the house they're goners), and I am scared of dogs. I got attacked as a kid, and haven't managed to really get over it.
I simply avoid dogs as much as possible, I wouldn't want anything happen to them.

Good idea, dogs need fresh meat occasionally.

I'm just saying it doesn't bother me as much as killing other animals for fur. I don't like rabbits. They always bite me.

girl in the striped socks

Yeah I love animals.
If my dog became human he would probably become like Liam neeson in taken. So cool & **** hot that there are no words to properly describe his awesomeness.

Jackob

absoufeckinlutely!! I love all kinds of animals except rats. They terrify me!! I have been known to pick up snails from the footpath and move them so they dont get stood on! And spiders, Im forever like an extra from Baywatch, diving in to save the little critter before he goes down the plughole!!!! Buts dogs are the bees knees and the spiders ankles!!! the most loyal, lovable companion wou will ever have in your life!!:p

policarp

I tried to love a cat once, but it got out of the shoe box and scratched the bejapers off me. So never again. . .

Tigerbaby

my beloved often tells me that I am an animal lover.

Modesty stops me from commenting further.
