Cats are significantly less intelligent than dogs. They are slightly less domesticated and have the tendencies that come with that (more persistent independent action and innate skills that help them in the wild, reminiscent of the ways chimpanzees and orangutans outperform humans on select tasks), but overall, have inferior cognition and a less rich inner world, while dogs are complex social animals with more going on inside their head.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dogs-when-you-count-neurons-have-a-lot-more-than-cats/Some dog breeds, such as german shepherds, can have over 800 million cortical neurons, twice as much as the average mid sized mutt.Therefore, since dogs psychological needs are greater than their suffering is deeper, public policy should prioritize canine well being, while making concessions to a clean society and the natural order and regulating cats as if they are simply less aware of their situation anyways, because they are.Proposed changes:Dogs must have at least 1/4 acre to roam around in at any given timeIt is illegal to crate a dog except under less than ordinary circumstancesDogs must be allowed to roam in a fenced in park at least once a week, for at least an hour, if their behavioral tendencies allow itSpay and neuter must be delayed until sexual maturity for dogs to ensure proper cognitive developmentDogs must be taken to the vet for a physical and psychological wellness check at least one every three monthsCats must be kept indoorsCats must be spayed and neutered as soon as possible to prevent overpopulationWhen roaming cats are third class citizens akin to escaped rabbits

>>5086344100%, dogs should be legally guaranteed better lives. While you're at it, ban prong collars, ban any e-collar capable of causing pain, make it illegal for trainers to encourage causing dogs pain, and enact strict breeding rules that disallow people from breeding dogs that suffer from birth or are highly prone to attacking other dogs, because rule 1 of canine welfare is "no dog deserves to be attacked by a shitbull".
dogs maul people all the time and cats don't. any dog seen loose or on public property should be immediately destroyed.
>>5086351Dog maulings account for 30-40 deaths per year in the US and 90% of those are due to just 2 breeds (pitbulls and rottweilers). These two dog races alone are several tens of times more dangerous than all other dogs combined, and yet, the shittiest of dogs are less likely to hurt you than lighting strikes let alone more present mortal threats such as>islam>cars>mental patients on SSRIsDogs simply aren't dangerous to first worlders. Killing random dogs, intelligent social animals that evolved to be our friends, for just being there makes LESS logical sense than killing you simply for having XY chromosomes. Men commit several orders of magnitude more violent crime than women! (you will never be a woman btw)Cats spread a disease (toxoplasmosis) that kills over 750 people per year. That's only documented deaths. Toxoplasmosis is extremely deadly to unborn children and it is more expensive to properly diagnose their cause of death, and since toxoplasmosis is so ubiquitous due to cat ownership, it's hard to pin the blame based on antibodies alone. The same disease DEFORMED thousands, THOUSANDS more.The human cost of retards letting cats outside is over twenty times greater than shitbulls.
>>5086351Toxo kills more people than pitbulls. Cat bites are more likely to result in amputation and death than dog bites. Bring on the victim blaming. If pitbulls were exterminated tens of millions of dogs would be less dangerous than the mere act of walking down stairs. Oh wait, they are even with pitbulls in existence.
>>5086354for the toxothirdies next move he will bring up global statistics that count rabies deaths in india and then everyone will agree dogs are doing a great job
>>5086344>>5086345>>5086347Uh oh the anti cat schizo lost another argument and is making another samefag seethe thread. How pathetic!
Facts. Dogs deserve better. I'd say cats deserve worse but only by catredditor standards (treated like little retards). What cats get now is basically being treated like an animal they aren't.>Catfag: CATS ARE HYPERINTELLIGENT GOD ANIMALS THEY NEED FREEDOM!>cat: *gets eaten by a fucking owl*
>>5086344Do you know why the cat schizo projects so hard?

Imagine being such a pathetic worthless b**** dogfucking excuse for a "human" with 0 family that cares about you on Christmas Eve and going on /an/ and seethe about cats for the 10,000th time
>>5086498>christmas day>reeeeing because someone somewhere in the world thinks cats are little retardsyah i agree op. spay/neuter and indoor life should be absolutely mandatory for cats, and tnr should be replaced with enclosed shelters or euthanasia.
>has so little going on on Christmas that she replies almost instantlyFolx any time you're getting down on yourself, just remember that you're not a b**** dogfucking subhuman somewhere in Southeast Asia

>>5086442She doesn't even try to hide it. She doesn't need to because the tranny jannies keep up all the threads. "People" like them are why the IP counter was removed. Imagine if this place had actual moderation.
>>5086606schizo-tard, /an/ in general doesn’t like outdoor or intact cats. most animals lovers dont. and only you (a /pol/ redditor) are deranged enough to take offense to it.
