Breast feeding your DOG?

[Dekka]

I was thinking about this yesterday (thanks OP )

I think I would normally fall into the not harming anyone so weird but meh category. But the fact this made the news bothers me.

My train of thought went like this:

Ok so there are people who endulge their pets and treat them like kids. Like those people who put their dog/cat in a high chair and have them eat with them at the table. Or with a larger dog on a regular chair.

This is weird but if someone is doing this in their own home how are we to know unless we are invited over for dinner. Even if we are invited over for dinner it still isn't going to make the news unless you invite a news team over for dinner.

Same with this one. If this woman was doing this quietly in her own home we would never know. Its the fact she wanted to tell the world that she breast feeds her dog and thinks its awesome that bothers me.

I think we should just leave it alone and put it in the same pile of thoughts as.. "But if we let gay people get married..what's going to stop dog lovers from marrying their dogs?!" "But if women are breastfeeding in public.. people are just going to have starting having sex on top of restaurant tables!" "
people who "don't see the difference" say that because they disagree with something simple and want to pin it onto something extreme/unsettling/wrong so they have a "real" argument to stand on lol so yea, I wouldn't waste your breath

This, and if she really doesn't "get it," you can't change that any way so don't waste your time.

...Wat? I don't understand what makes that comment so "best". But it's true. If she could get anything in her mouth, she was sucking on it.

I am just quoting things out of context.

I just don't see how you can say that human breast feeding is ok while animal breast feeding is gross isn't that a little hypocritical? I bean ill say any breastfeeding wiggs me out, even this.

Because this:

Breastfeeding your human infant = nutrition.
Breastfeeding weak piglets when your own survival might depend on them surviving = necessity.
Breastfeeding adult pet dog because it makes you feel like a better mother = weird. I have no problem going all Judgy McJudgerson in this case.

Yes, sorry. It is for me as well. It might have sounded funnier in my sleepy head. :P

OMG! We do love our dogs but this action is definitely GROSS. The lady appears to be very proud of her action. Something is wrong with the lady...not with the dog!!
