Oh geez. Why is it the most ignorant people, are the ones who are so adamant in their "knowledge"?

 

I have had many people tell me that my dog will turn bloodthirsty and aggressive because we feed raw. I think it's funny, because most of them that say this haven't even met my very friendly and calm Dane.

 

Once when I was helping out at the animal clinic, I had Bonnie there (I was feeding half raw at the time)... he complimented her and mentioned her coat and I said she's raw fed... He said that she would turn aggressive from eating raw, since Dobermans are prone to aggression anyway. The funny part of the story is... his Ol' Roy-fed lab/goldie mix had been trying to rip my face off just moments before while I took him back to his crate for boarding... if he hadn't been muzzled I surely would have been injured.

 

Some people!
I had to learn to internally roll my eyes at the dog park. Believe me, that is a hard skill to master

 

:lol: epic!!! some people are so pompous! My mother is the same way, she's heard all these things, and when i started raw feeding she told me that she'd "pray for my dog" :lol:

 

I haven't had anyone tell me to my face raw is going to kill my dog, I have a pretty mean stink eye I think people are afraid of! :lol: I have gotten plenty of e-mails replying to my ads when I had it read that I fed raw, that I was killing my dog and shouldn't be a dog owner and that I don't care.

Some people are just dumb and need to keep their uneducated opinions to themselves!

 

My favorite was some idiot in line in front of me at the grocery store telling me that I should cook the bones before I feed them to my dog. I asked him if there were ovens out in the wild. He only replied, "Well, I'd cook them but that's because I love my dogs." (Of course, with the tone he used, implying that I do not love my dogs.)

Ya do, huh? But you don't have the first clue about them? It's one thing simply not to know. It's another not to know, not even try to know and then be arrogant and insulting about it.

 

Was at the dog park with the sheltie.. he was playing with a spitz type dog.. maybe an american eskimo. The owner came up to me and started talking about coat care etc.. she asked how I made my dog's coat so nice and shiny and soft.. I said raw feeding and salmon oil.. she proceeded to tell me that my dog probably has mad cow disease, said raw meat makes your dog aggressive because they will smell the blood and want more, and that she doesn't want her dog contracting salmonella from my dog. My dog was on his back with his feet in the air... real aggressive. :tape2:

Some people. There are times that people still manage to surprise me!!!

I had one very similar to this. I was saying about raw feeding to one of the other students. She said that she thought dogs where domesticated and that there diets had changed. My reply:

Well I feed her in-front of the cooker and if she was that domesticated, she can use the cooker!

 

I really tried not to laugh.. I really did..

Don't think I succeeded. :redface:

When you get to a certain point in life, you are allowed to laugh out loud at idiot people! It's better for your health not to hold it in, and maybe they will actually learn something (at least learn not to come around you anymore!):laugh:

 

your dog has mad cow disease?

does she realise it was already too late? they had already had contact? probably smelled butts and licked and all those doggie communication things......not only that, but she probably walked where you and that raw fed dog walked.

what IS this world coming to. i declare...feeding a dog raw food. what's wrong with you? too lazy to cook? LOL

 

Since I've started feeding raw, my dog has begun to foam at the mouth, and aggressively mount people while biting for the windpipe. Due to the blood thirsty nature of a raw fed dog, I have several puncture wounds on my legs, and a few missing digits. I've also recently contracted salmonella and have been evicted from my place due to it being quarantined.

 

I stopped trying to convince ignorant people about the RAW DIET...What it is and what it is not...I just tell them ..""'""there is a reason your dog looks like that...and my dog looks like this""lol

 

See at my 8 pound bloodthristy furry monster , now you all are going to have nightmares.

 

Stupid people really should have to wear a sign. It's not fair for us to waste time talking to them. LOL

 

 

Last night when we were in the ER for the bite from Dude (not on purpose) we told the doc that we feed raw and he goes, "That sounds a little barbaric". I almost said, "Oh, so you must be a vegetarian". I mean, come on. How is it barbaric to feed your dog raw chicken but it isn't when you roast the little birdie on the barbecue?

 

My dads fiance is the same, always trying to tell me that my dog will get food poisoning :bored: I can't be bothered arguing with her anymore

My sister who is 14 has a 10 month old male JRT mix called oscar, even she can see the benefits of raw feeding, she has begged and begged my dad and his fiance to allow her to put oscar on the PMR but they won't have none of it :frown: they say that because he lives with their 5 little dogs he might see them as a meal because he could get a taste for blood. If a 14 year old child can see the good of it why are some adults so ignorant.

My dad and his fiances dogs all look so unhealthy, they have dusty coats, runny eyes, bad teeth etc, they poop about 5 times a day each ... and they are all under 3 years old, apart from the old lady dachshund who is like 11, they just can't see what is in front of their eyes, my dad has even commented on how good lucky looks, her white coat is glowing, but still won't link it to her diet :frown:

 

I guess I'm lucky-I haven't had anything that crazy said to me. I have had "won't that make them mean"? and "watch out for salmonella". Both are worthy of eye rolls! LOL!

 

They are right, it does make your dog aggressive.



See? Here is Murph, my raw fed dog. He's about to go for my friends jugular!

My other friend had to save her life and restrain the beast!!

Look at his eyes. That's pure crazy in them.

 

well, frenchies and pugs....ARE pure crazy with or without being fed raw.....i've seen it with my very own eyes. he didn't look like THIS on kibble.

 

I really should stop feeding raw. You see, it is really giving my Danes the bloodthirsty mentality. Last night Braxton went for the throat and I was pretty sure it was the end of me. It's just getting out of hand. I mean, my whole family has salmonella and e-coli all the time and their coats are just too healthy.

I guess what I really want to know, is how long do you think I need to quarantine my bloodthirsty beasts before it is safe to have them around people and other dogs without attempting murder?

Oh crap, sorry, I should have warned y'all about the graphic, violent nature of those pictures. I just can not contain these beasts anymore.

 

I think I would spend all day just squishing those adorable floppy puppy cheeks!!! Those two are absolutely the cutest things ever!

 

The hoodlums have been raw fed since the beginning...a month after I got them. They were about 4-5 months old. As you can see, they were bloodthirsty then:

And they are bloodthirsty now. No! Seriously. Look! They're trying to eat each other:

That is NOT play! That is one dog trying to rip the throat out of the other dog because they were fed raw.

Look here, you can see that Sakari, (left), has eaten the lower half of Shasta's, (right), body:

And the cats? You see the look I'm getting?

That look says, "I will eat you."

Forget about it, I haven't slept in 9 months. I'm afraid to go to sleep because the cats have tried to eat me before. They start off at my head and chew on my hair...OBVIOUSLY it's only a matter of time before I am consumed.

 

I slept with my doors locked last night because I was so scared for my life. I really thought all the raw fed dogs of CT would make a pack and come for me! I have survived to see another day though....

 

lol my blood thirsty bitch,o m g i thought i was a grandaughter missing oh i forgot the dog ate her!!!!!!!,some people id have told her she already has mad cow disease,karen

 

Yes, this is what happens when you feed your dog raw, http://http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110610/us_yblog_thelookout/bloodthirsty-pack-of-dogs-take-out-350-lb-llama they all pack together at night and run rampage over the town. Make sure you cage all your raw fed dogs up at night so they are not joining in this gang of slaughter.

Lily, did she get up in that chair on her own or did you help her, she is so adorable.

 

just remember this.

always sleep with one eye open.

 

lol mollygirl ,im sorry to say but i would never help a dog onto a chair!!!,i know that sounds very mean but if she cant get up then she cant get down so would probably hurt herself,she will pinch anyones chair she even lounges on the sun loungers!!!!lazy bitch syndrome ,karen

 

:biggrin1: cliffdog, thats exactly how it is with my dads fiance, she is always telling me how lucky will turn evil from being fed raw when all the while one of her dogs (yorkie mix) is barking/snarling at everyone and every dog he meets, he even attempted to bite my husband recently .... You'd never guess what he was being fed, a cheap supermarket brand kibble, it is rainbow coloured :yuck: dads fiance still insists her dogs are on a way better diet than lucky .... surely no one can be that stupid :wacko: she wants to feed kibble. fair enough, but at least feed a high quality kibble
