All k9 dogs are abused hands down if you post any pro k9 stuff on my dash youāre unfollowed I donāt care if weāve been mutuals for years, you can claim to be anti-cop or a leftist or whatever but if you post k9 dogs with like āa good doggo! A good boy!ā fuck off, if I lose followers over this then good riddance
Itās ALSO worth saying that police dogs serve a significant role in worsening police brutality. A dog trained to attack a human will maim them. A cop looses a police dog on someone, and that person is expected to peacefully cooperate while a dog is trying to tear their limbs off. It is very easy for those massive wounds to get infected. It is an absurd amount of violence. And beyond the initial attack, the fact that a āpoor sweet innocent doggoā did this is used to excuse that brutality in court. Especially if the victim, panicking in the moment, lashed out at the dog. As this website has demonstrated many times, majority-white juries have more sympathies for injured dogs than the people of color who are most often victims of police brutality. So theyāre not just systemic animal abuse, theyāre also a tool for increased police brutality and to excuse

guys my age donāt know how to treat me
An agate stone that looks like a window to the ocean.
āIn the dusk path You used to come to me Is overgrown and indistinguishable, Except for the spider webs That hang across it Like threads of sorrow.ā
