lol i highly doubt that a heaven exist, but if it does iam pretty sure that anything i say or think doesnt have any impact on whether you go there or not
i dont know you so i wasnt commenting on your character
am just sharing my thoughts and commenting on things i see in this forum so there is no need to take things personally
interesting, so if i would tell you that you are a smurf you must be one? lol
just because we have and sometimes show certain human skills doesnt mean we are only those skills
one can also easily argue that being deceitfull can be a nice/good thing
like telling small kids that santa isnt quite the person they believe it is
or not informing a lover about the size of their breasts or penis even after being asked for your opinion
of course, especially the disagreeing part comes naturally to me
wait, does that mean you are like me and when asked you would tell small kids not to sit on santaās lap because its their weird uncle in disguise? lol
I donāt think any dog is killing other dogs sheer out of fun. My experiences (Gracie was aggressive towards dogs, but not out of āfunā, but because she feared them and was insecure. Probably made bad experiences as a straydog.) But also the genes or whatever it is which is responsible for the psychological traits all creatures are born with already, play a role here. I know dogs, which never were treated badly or had a negative encounter with another dog (or human), but nevertheless are shy and nervous when they approach someone. My cat Ganynedes is the most anxious cat I know, while Kimba is cool. Both made the same experiences, as they grew up together.
And no, I wouldn"t blame the pit bull but only the owner, for not keeping the dog at bay. Just like I did with Gracie. I never let her off the leash and took her close to me as soon as someone was going to pass us. Thatās why I wanted a garden for her. To be free at home at least.
Nonsense, and you almost certainly know better. You just wish it wasnāt so.
Younger dogs like Fido often kill older, more vulnerable dogs like Rex. From a canine point of view, the kill behaviour is expected. Dogs are opportunistic predators who exploit vulnerabilities. When dogs see an injured, sick, juvenile, or otherwise compromised individual, their predatory brain tells them to kill. Humans have tried to breed this out of dogs; unfortunately, most individuals retain their genetic makeup.
Studies carried out in the years 2008ā2016 showed that aggression against unfamiliar dogs (aggression targeted at the dog) had been shown by 22ā47% of studied individuals. In many cases of such aggression, the death of one of the dogs involved can be a consequence [39,40]. A study by Van der Borg et al. [41] on Rottweilers showed that as many as a quarter of dogs (mainly without pedigrees) showed behavior related to aggression targeted at both humans and animals. In addition, they were also, in most cases, aggressors in a given interaction.
typical reg, instead of realising there is no mention of ādogs killing for funā in his first link he just finds another page⦠where there is also no mention of fun killing lmao
You mix up ākilling for funā with āchasing for funā. Itā not aggression what triggers this, but the instinct to chase after moving objects (alive or dead). Dogs start only if someones running away. If they catch it, they often then also kill it. But again, thatās an instinctive, natural behaviour. Not a conscious decision out of plain fun. Of course for the dog this is a positive experience, which gives him joy/fun and which satisfies him. But again, the same effect has it, even if the animal/object isnt catched or even killed. Chasing alone is the fun here.
Do you really think it matters if the dog only enjoyed the chase and not the killing? Furthermore, you have no idea at all which part of the exercise the dog enjoyed.
In English, āfor funā is simply used as a way to say āfor no material gainā.
Edited to add from ChatGPT: In English, the phrase āfor funā is often used to mean doing something without expecting any material gain, even if the activity wasnāt necessarily enjoyable. It can imply that the activity was done for personal satisfaction, as a hobby, or just because there was no serious reason behind it. For example, someone might say, āI helped out at the event for fun,ā even if the experience itself wasnāt particularly fun but was done without expecting payment or other rewards.
