    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?

    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.

    I am a dog lover, cat despiser.

    Does that count?

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,083 ✭✭✭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.

    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 :D
    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 :D
    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!" :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,033 ✭✭✭mauzo


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭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 forgot to mention.....

    Horses are magnificent.

    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.

    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 :confused:.

    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.

    But I love cock.


    I love to eat pussy, what does that make me?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,533 ✭✭✭Daniel S


    A poll might be worthwhile for this thread OP.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,558 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,032 ✭✭✭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??
