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?
>>5086351>>5086414These are the only two posts that aren't the samefagging OP btw.

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
>>5086500I’m puking from drinking too much christmas eveYou are probably gooning to cp catpedo
Dogs won this one, bigly
>>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.
consolewar faggotry should be a bannable offense
>>5086344>Any "spay or neuter" (spaying is a form of neutering by the way retard, "neuter" is the "neutered" term (a euphemism to hide the mutilation))If you need to sacrifice your dog to Saturn then you're either immeasurably cruel or retarded, and shouldn't own one. There is no proven benefit in any manner to mutilating your dogs endocrine system, other than letting retards have multiple opposite sex dogs in the house unsupervised
>>5086498You spam child porn and AI generated zoophilia. You are also Indian
>>5086606oooff you pissed him off with this one lmfao
>>5087856Trvke. Ban canine genital mutilation. Its necessary for cats though. They cant roam and be intact because they become a pest infestation, they cant be indoors while still intact because of how pissy and aggressive they are (and unlike dogs, its rare for them to be smart enough to control themselves). If cats cant be denutted, cats cant exist outside of their natural range in africa and the middle east.
>>5087945>cats >roamlmao the one fact you can actually use against cats is that they're much more territorial and way less prone to roaming than dogswhy are you so bad at your job
>>5087945I actually "agree" about the cats - a male cat will simply not "behave" but it seems cruel to fucking obliterate his balls for pissing on the couch (the same niggers that would chimp at you declawing him for ripping up your cushions would gladly mutilate his endocrine system).It sort of drives home that cats aren't really "indoor pets" but if let roam freely they act like exactly what they are - Middle Eastern pests that happen to look cute but destroy the native biome
>>5087953I think the easy solution for this is that they shouldn't be pets at all and should have been left as wild animals in their native range
>>5087952>cats roam less than dogs thats why theres a cat from a mile away in my backyardI’m baiting it in, feeding it sedatives, and dying it pink.
>>5088535Yes, they should go back to the Middle East and Africa instead of shitting up our countertops
>>5086351>Euthanize 13% of dogs>Problem is solved
>>5086344These rules should only apply to some dogs, do we really want Shitbulls and Chihuahuas to be able to roam freely in parks? all they know is to scar your legs or kill toddlers, not every dog is like a Collie or Yellow Lab.
>>5086344trvke
does the obsession with the idea of animal intelligence in relation to pets come from retards treating their pets like surrogate children
>>5093077intelligence informs proper caredumb animals can be kept in glass boxessmart animals need to explore the world
there's a little cuck inside every human therefore cats will always be valued
>>5086344>Dogs must be taken to the vet for a physical and psychological wellness check at least one every three months Every three months? I can weigh and see if my dog is stressed at home. Why so often?
>>5086351Cats do attack but they're like 5> kg. Can't really kill anyone like that.
>>5086610>intact catsChinee anon pls
>>5086344Undeniably true
reading this thread with my sweet cat next to me. She went to get me to bed and now we are chilling.
>>5086344troof
>>5095283based. keep it up, it makes the indian OP seethe even more and continue to bump his own thread just like he did with the post before and after yours
>>5086344ok but my cat doesnt eat his own poop
>>5086344One more addition to consider: Cats must all wear a collar and are not allowed to be owned outside of designated cat areas. Cats found to be breaking the rules will be taken from the owner and transferred to dedicated retraining camps. There they will be marked and put to hard labor until they're eventually gassed.
>>5086344Im going to beat that dog up and take his lunch money
>>5097108Neither does my dog. What your cat does do, though, is shit inside your house, then walk on your countertops with shit covered paws and infect you with a mind-control parasite. My dog doesn't.
>>5097108my cat does
>>5098925My sister's cat also does that
>>5086344Agree with OP's rules for dogs, even as a non dog person. Amerisharts are obsessed with dog culture yet can't properly take care of one. If you have to crate a dog for any significant amount of time, what the fuck are you even doing? Don't need a dog. Apartment rentoids should never have a dog, not enough space. Also why the fuck would you keep any kind of working breed as a pet? Must be mental torture to never fulfill your potential. A dog needs a job, they love having jobs, being a yappy "guard dog" doesn't count. I hate dog culture and irresponsible dog owners (most people).
>>5098952Working breeds make better pets. Dogs DGAF about what purebred faggots think they are for, DGAF about whatever potential or cool/noble shit you do, and their stimulation levels are easy as piss to meet. Two walks, play with some toys, do some tricks, they take a nap. As long as they arent hyper inbred grand champion slop “for extra drive” or the so called job demands a dysgenic freak like a pitbull (or victorian trash with made up jobs tha exist solely so noblemen of the past could make their hunting look more sporting and sophisticated to signal status) they are just healthier, more intelligent, less dysgenic dogs.
>>5098925>>5098930so does mine
