Interesting to see the posts from people on the dog attack thread.
Would it put you off someone if they didnt like dogs?
I couldnt like or respect anyone who doesnt like dogs or want to meet them. |

I love dogs, but would not be put off a meet by someone who doesnt.
I could not have a relationship with someone who doesnt, as I love having my dogs around me |

I met a man on a dating site once and he told me he went to australia and shot kangaroos and he used to kill pidgeons. I wouldnt meet him again.
A couple of our neighbours are hunt supporters which i dont agree with, but they do like dogs and are nice in other ways. |

I'm like the casual racists who have a 'black friend'. I like my friends dogs, for the most part, otherwise I can take them or leave them.
Wouldn't affect my decision to meet someone one way or the other. |

On a sexual basis it doesn't bother me if they like animals or not unless they are cruel to them.
But on a dating basis it just wouldn't work if they hated cats or were scared of horses.
I do love animals but I am a hunt supporter, I see the need for managing numbers in the case of foxes (shooting and other methods are often more traumatising for the fox) and I see the need for eating, nothing better than a pheasant pie that has been shot and prepared by one person and less cruel than mass breeding chickens in cages for people to eat. x |

I've been veggie for 30+ years. Used to be anti-this and anti-that. Even marched around a convent in Northampton once coz they had a large a large battery hen farm!
Today I would never be anti-hunt because I feel the ban is an infringement of people's right to choose what they want to do. The 'harm' done to a few foxes is just an unfortunate part of it.
And hunting really is deeply engrained within countryside tradition in this country. Similar to bull fighting and running in Spain.
RE pets: On a personal level I'm not into cats at all but would never stop me seeing a nice girl coz she's got them  |

Everything about out 'attitudes' towards animals is fraught with contradictions. We keep animals as pets because they offer a link to out more primeval past. |

Dogs are great company, you always have something to cuddle when your kids have grown up. Also it lowers your blood preasure and theirs when you stroke them. Dont understand why people say they like kids but they dont like dogs because dogs are just like little kids.
My dad wouldnt let me have a dog when i was a kid, he said they were dirty.
We had a cat though. |

After years of wanting one it took getting knocked down by a car a breaking my leg to get a dog. So the idiom 'break a leg' was used literally. |

it wouldn't bother me if someone on here didn't like dogs, I don't eat meat but I wouldn't not meet someone because they did, what others do or like is none of my business and I would never push my views on anyone
However when it comes to people coming to my house it matters, I have two dogs and I wouldn't put my dogs out for anyone, if people don't like them don't com in my house its as simple as that, but if im meeting off here in a hotel I don't see what it matters |

Love me love my dogs, because they are my family, sit on the furniture, eat in the kitchen, and always come before a random stranger visiting.
If children are visiting the dogs wouldn't be allowed in the same rooms as the kids, for the dogs comfort and the childrens safety. |

The number of foxes actually caught while on a hunt is a small number, you can still shoot foxes but they don't always die immediately.
I do actually like foxes but they are a pest to people in the countryside, too many of them and they aren't healthy. It is nice for someone to understand the way of the countryside.
I don't agree with battery farms though, I eat free range as much as possible. Also part of the reason I like game, the animals live a free and natural life.
I could never be veggie but like to know where my meat comes from and like to know it has had a nice life. |

Until the invention of refrigeration only about 100 years ago the only meat consumed by common folk like you and I was game. Apart from the occasional pig kept and fattened up on scraps in the back yard. |

"Hunt Supporters... sorry I am out. Bastard Murderers!!"
if your going to judge people on such thinge how far does it go
millions of animals are killed yearly in medical research
Millions of animals are killed yearly for food and cloths, to cover furniture
B&Q buy wood from tree's felled from the borneo rainforest pushing wild orang-utans to the brink of extinction
the list of what us humans do to aminals is endless, though I do not support fox hunting in the slightest the amount of animals killed each year by these bastard murders are miniscule to the amount of animals killed to get the medication, food and house hold items we use everyday
so I find it best to just leave people to get on with things as we arnt going to save the world |

Hunting makes people and easy target though as people forget the bigger picture. |

I have a dog and whilst he is soft and chilled i always ask folk if they are ok with dogs as i respect others choices and if not comfy with dogs i will consider putting in kitchen but when playtime he is not in same room and thus far no one has had issues with dogs but consideration to others is important. |

And old FB has a dog, used to take her gifts, it was actually his dog that got us talking in the first place.
You're right to consider others but if they are coming to your home they should understand it is your dogs home too x |

I knew one woman who let her cat in the bedroom. And whilst i tried my best to ignore it it wasn't always easy when it was sat at the side of the bed looking up at me when I was giving it to her doggy |

I adore animals and love my 2 cats like the substitute children they were during the time I struggled to get pregnant.
I would however probably still eat my dog if the choice was that or starve to death. Doesn't mean I'm not an animal lover.
