"My dogs are loyal beasts. They would never hurt me..."

I ate dog. Tasted like spiced meat. Wet, saucy bbq. I didn’t know until later. It wasn’t bad, and it was thoroughly cooked.
A formal meal needs an appetizer.
Lol, I always told my children that when SHTF, we eat the dog first.
I’ve humanized my rat terror’s stuffed animals. “Get your baby” which she does then violently shakes it, tosses it in the air then rips the stuffing out of it.

——a miniature Chihuahua-—
Ahhh..... I’m sure that’s what they have. It is so small, it gets lost on the uncut grass.

“Sadly, today while pets are getting more traditional names, actual kids are being given more & more stupid names”
The way kids today are being raised and educated, it might be appropriate. Pets are getting smarter and the kids being uniformed better.
An example of this is this article:
https://calmatters.org/commentary/2020/01/functional-illiteracy/
When a third of the students in a state school system can’t read competitively, there is a problem with instruction or it is being done on purpose. And it doesn’t get fixed either as:
In California, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation reports that more than half of adult inmates are functionally illiterate. Proves just how effective the school system is and that it is not being assisted. Keep the kids at home, teach them yourself, and send the pets to school.

Same, except we had Dobermans (still do, in fact).
It’s just too hot for any of the shepherd-type dogs.
Need thin bodies and short hair.
Probably a good strategy, then you will have all that dog food to eat.
I only have edible pets.
My children are grown. They were raised with pets and developed responsibility and the ability to love beyond themselves. I don’t have grandchildren yet and my kids live halfway around the world from me. I have a cat. I love her very much. It isn’t an either/or thing. There is enough love to go around. Tired of the need to create division where there is none.
I might just fatten him up until the kibble runs out and then grill him.
I understand the premise, but the fix is dumb. People who don’t want children should be pressured into having them? Raising kids is hard enough if you WANT them.
When you mentioned asps, I started to think of Cleopatra.
Did she use them as a murder weapon?
I heard about a garter snake who was offered a part in a Cleopatra movie but he turned it down because he didn’t want to make an asp of himself.
What the author doesn’t seem to get is the difference between childless and child free.
And there is a difference.
And as long as the pets are loved and well cared for, far better the child free have pets instead of kids.
And for folks fortunate to have both furry and human family who are well-loved, I’d say that’s pretty close to Heaven.
“People who don’t want children should be pressured into having them?”
My wife and I both instinctively knew we never wanted kids from an early age. We both lost past loves over the no kids thing.
We were pressured by both sets of parents. Thankfully we never gave in.
We love our 4 fur babies.
The author is a male, who is probably not even married. You can not expect him to get it. If the author were a woman, that would be a different story.
My oldest brother and his wife had one son. My second oldest brother loved children but his wife didn’t want any. So they didn’t have any. My sister-in-law got Breast Cancer. They removed her breasts, but the cancer moved to her brain and that is what she died of. He got ill of Alzheimer’s and that is what he died of in 2014.
