    It really sounds like your problems are with dog owners and not the animal itself

    A lot of them, yes.

    your dog sucks

    Yes, he’s a Covid puppy who never got socialized until he was like 2.

    The majority of them are VERY easy to train

    You are on crack

    Cats are equally “implicitly aggressive”

    Moreso than dogs I would say, but a cat can’t bite my fingers off or maul kids to death. There are 5 million reported dog bites in the US per year. Do you know how bad a dog bite has to be for it to actually be reported??

    I should let you know that no matter how often you change the litter box, your house smells

    When I lived with a cat I always noticed that. Bothered me a lot. If I were to get another cat I would put a lot of money and time into smell reduction, but I don’t think that’s going to happen because kids are in my future and Toxoplasma is real.

    I have a 4-year-old Corgi that my girlfriend brought into our house so I think I have some means to judge here.

    Dogs shit everywhere… outside. Not everyone cleans it all the way up, nor get it all out of the patches of grass where I happen to step. I have a dedicated shit brush specifically for this issue. They’re just nasty as fuck for that honestly, the dogs and the owners. They don’t shit in the house if you’re a competent owner.

    They bark at noise disturbances which scares the shit out of me every time. Some people also just leave their mutts outside to harass neighbors walking by as they bark at about 500 decibels. Again, owner and animal issue both.

    Cats are way more stubborn but you don’t rely on them to follow commands. Dogs will violently try to pull you over if they want to go do something while on a walk, and training that out of them is unbelievably difficult and won’t always stick. They are also implicitly aggressive animals, and need that to be trained out of them as well. Basically, we as humans are trying to cover up the violent nature of a stupid animal by telling it “good boy” when it doesn’t maul Timmy’s face off. Again, that doesn’t always stick either.

    Dogs require WAY more work and are not rewarding at all to me. I hate the things that fundamentally make them dogs.
