Let's talk about stereotypes. Animal owner stereotypes,

only women and numales own cats.

>>2233340
no, women can't handle the responsibility that comes with owning birds.

they only own basic pet shop species like budgies and cockatiels, anything that's more complicated than a quaker parrot is too much for them.

LOL

yeah i've noticed the bird thing, every single bird owner i know of is a female. they also love rats/mice. i think it's because they're small and fairly calm. maybe because of the sounds they make too.

>>2233351
and i only know two people that own bugs and they're both women.

>>2233345
>exotic birds
>regular people with allergies.
you what

>>2233354
i take it you're a bird owner.

>Black people like Pit Bulls, Rotties, etc.

I fit the stereotype. I am half-black and latino. My favorite breed is the Staffordshire Bull Terrier but I also like Rottweilers, Dobermans, Greyhounds, Cairn Terriers, Chihuahuas, Border Terriers... It's pure coincidence in my case. I didn't grow up around Pit Bull owners and I am not into black culture (I can barely name 5 hiphop artists). When I was in middle school I just got into Staffies and APBT's due to Youtube. I used to watch videos and read up on them a lot. They're just so cute and friendly. I hate the average Pit Bull owner though. Those morons who think they're tough because their dog incorrectly has a choke collar on and is not even properly leash trained. They're as bad as Chihuahua owners.

>>2233356
my dad used to breed parrots.

they're terrible for people with allergies.

>>2233343
well, that's a good stereotype for this stereotypes thread, tripfag. why the fuck do you judge pets by their popuarity?

>>2233365
I don't like keeping memes as pet.

>>2233358
Yeah why not just get a poodle or a sphinx or something?

>>2233368
those are still bad for people with allergies.

why not just get a frog or a tegu.

My grandpa was county fire chief and owned two Dalmatians. He always gave puppies to other departments.

>>2233370
Dont ever suggest normal people get a tegu. There is no tegu appropriate for people who don't own reptiles

>>2233375
it's always better than a parrot.

People who keep shitter's choice reptiles (ball pythons, corn snakes, bearded dragons, leopard geckos) are drooling retards that should not be associated with actual herp keepers.

These faggots never know shit about their pets, keep them in some ugly plastic tub or tank fitted with fucking newspaper, where any reasonable person would be ashamed of ever showing off such an atrocious enclosure. Then they make sure to toy with them several times a week, because reptiles have built affection according to them. And most importantly, they have to frequently spam "le danger noodle snoot boop snek XD" memes like the mouthbreathers they are.

Special mention goes to the morph autists who give names even a 12 year old would deem stupid.

>>2233357

Stop lying, Jamal. You like them because it makes you look tough in front of your "homies".

There's nothing wrong with those species. They just tend to have a lot of worse owners because theyre popular.

Really, personally the only people I've met with parrots were lonely 50-60+ men with beards and a watered-down hippy vibe. I did work experience as a kid in the parrot/exotics section of a nearby vets, and most people bringing birds in were lone old blokes. Maybe it's a Northern England thing.

>>2233343
Here's a stereotype; people who use trips are attention whoring faggots.

>>2233421
At 50-60+, how do you tell women from men?

>>2233340
The only time I see bird owners (actual bird owners, not budgies in a cage) is from pet shop owners -usually guys- and lonely guys who can't get a date.

Because people want actual pets and not just an ugly thing that you have to feed.

>>2233500
if that's true then why are cats so popular?

>>2233340
>fish people are usually men
Dunno, the only fish enthusiasts I know IRL are women.

>>2233501
Because they are okay tier animals, also they are cozy and nice. Oh, and they catch mice, that's why they became popular in the first place.

>>2233506

how's dropping dead disease infested corpses on your doormat a good thing.

>>2233370

I'm guessing they don't want to pay a lot for the animal itself, have to maintain and climate control a whole room for their pet, and pay premium prices for treatment.

>>2233505
Dunno, I breed shrimp, keep fish and I'm into aquascaping. Most people I know are men in the hobby. In general, most women in the hobby I know have some guppytanks/easy livebearers/tetras, but no aspirations of aquascaping, breeding or keeping more complicated species.

>>2233509
>so are tegus.
Oh really? Are they fluffy, do they purr, do they play, do they come to you to cuddle, do they wiat for you when you come home, can you teach them their name?

>how's dropping dead disease infested corpses on your doormat a good thing.

>do they play
kind of.
>do they come to you to cuddle
yes.
>do they wiat for you when you come home
yes.
>can you teach them their name?
no but you can't do that with cats either, their memory is terrible and they're not smart enough to understand the concept of names.

tegus and monitors aren't like most reptiles.

>This doesn't happen today with cats who live indoors.

again, pets for people with allergies.

>>2233513
I don't know much about all this stuff myself, but the women I know who are into this are rather serious about it, they keep many kinds of fish I've never heard of and they put quite a lot of time and money into all this.

>>2233523
Hard to see what's the real data, when only our perception serves as sample size. While it does differ, it may be actually pretty even split in general then. Most women I knew either thought fish are boring or wanted cutesy coloury swimmy things and had very little interest in science behind it.

>>2233521
>no that's the point we're talking about pets for people with allergies dipshit.
No we are not since you decided to basically say that cats don't make good pets, dipshit >>2233501. Before that I said that people will try to find hypoallergenic cats and dogs because it's still better than taking frogs and lizards, even if it doesn't completely solve the problem of allegry.

>kind of.
I can imagine.

>yes.
But what's the point of cuddling if they don't purr and they are not warm?

>do they wiat for you when you come home
>yes.
Really? I find it hard to believe.

>no but you can't do that with cats either, their memory is terrible
Lol have you ever owned a cat? They can learn their name and they can learn a signal for feeding and they memorize many things and places.

>they're not smart enough to understand the concept of names
So what, dogs aren't smart enough too. Even crows aren't. You don't need the concept to teach an animal to respond to its name.

>tegus and monitors aren't like most reptiles.
Yes, but they still can't make a good pet for most people, they can't bond with people like cats, let alone dogs.

http://www.livescience.com/1819-feline-memories-fleeting.html

they're not very bright for a mammal of their size.

they have no concept of human language, they merely respond to tone, you could say 'shithead' in the same tone as their actual name and they'd respond the same way, I do that with my dog a lot.

>they can't bond with people like cats

cats don't bond with you, they're solitary animals.

>>2233584
Just read your post: >>2233501, you just say that cats make bad pets, it's not about allergy.

It's better to read what you link before you post. Go and read the article.

>they're not very bright for a mammal of their size.
Size? Size is not related to intelligence.

>they have no concept of human language
So fucking what? Have you even read my post? They can learn to respond to their name, that's all that matters. Your lizards can't.

>you could say 'shithead' in the same tone as their actual name and they'd respond the same way, I do that with my dog a lot.
Your dog's name probably sounds similar to "shithead". Dogs respond to actual sounds, it's quite easy to prove since all commands are given in the same tone.

Also since you like it so much to post articles, here you are: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/08/160829192701.htm

>cats don't bond with you, they're solitary animals.
It is very clear that you know nothing about ethology of cats (or even ethology at all). Yes, wildcats solitary (though they still show social behavior and can form temporary families) but domestic cats are different, stray cats can form groups and pet cats can bond with their owners as a result of their extended kittenhood.

you can't magically ignore the rest of the conversation and just start wherever you like.

>It's better to read what you link before you post.

you'd find out their visial memory isn't much longer than a minute.

>Size is not related to intelligence.

jesus your reading comprehension is bad, ofcourse it's not but they're dumb for mammals of their size, most are considerably smarter.

>They can learn to respond to their name

they can't, they respond to tone.

my tortoises can do that, you don't need a complex brain for it apparently.

>Your dog's name probably sounds similar to "shithead"

it's 'noa' it doesn't sound similar at all.

>Have you even read my post?

no I just skin through it because it's obvious you're talking out of your ass.

>easy to prove since all commands are given in the same tone.

unless they've all got the same vowels there's still a difference.

>ethology of cats

ethology is pseudo-science and cats are pseudo-pets, very fitting.

>but domestic cats are different,

yes your cat is a very special snowflake.

too bad it'll still eat you when you die.

>>2233646
>you'd find out their visial memory isn't much longer than a minute.
The only thing that article states is that their visual memory is bad compared to their memory of movement. And it only deals with short term memory.

>they're dumb for mammals of their size, most are considerably smarter
And who is talking out of their ass? Can you provide data to prove this? Oh sorry you can't because measuring intelligence is a part of ethology and it is a pseudoscience.

>they can't, they respond to tone.
They respond to a vocal signal. How they process it is another question.

>it's 'noa' it doesn't sound similar at all.
Maybe your dog is dumb? And why did you ignore the link I posted?

>yes your cat is a very special snowflake.
So why does it behave like every other cat? Actually I wonder, have you never seen groups of stay cats?

>too bad it'll still eat you when you die.

dog owners tend to be very entitled about dogs. like when their dog runs up to you and starts jumping on you and you say"please get your dog off me" and they say "LOL NAH DON'T WORRY ITS FRIENDLY"

I know its friendly dammit. they are too friendly and I just don't want that big slobbering thign one me.

and they let them trample through other people's yards and shit everywhere without actually cleaning it up. they excuse unacceptable behavior because "lol is cute :3333"

and they treat you like the devil when you say you're not fond of dogs.

fucking mammalfags "waahh but is cute and fluffy you HAVE to like them waaahh man's best friend"

obviously just a stereotype, but it's very common where I'm from and I hate it

I definitely think ball pythons and beardies are overrated.

beardies are at least smart and liek to hang out on your shoulder/lap, but ball pythons? people just like "lol it has le :3 puppy face!!!"

I absolutely love leopard geckos though. it's a shame so many shitty people just grab one and through it in a shitty container because they think reptiles work like mammals.

I talked to one girl who said her friend had one. it lived for only about 3 fuckign years apparently. I told her they are supposed to live much longer and she was like "what but they are small and not dogs!!!" like dogs are the be-all end-all of animals or some shit.

I hate people

>>2233702
outdoor cat owners are obnoxious yeah.

I've only met one in my life and he was an absolute shithead, entitled, druggy, graduated high school at 20, not going to college, retard.

It's just that I've met more of the entitled dog kind of people.

I grew up with cats that my parents have, strictly indoors only, so I like indoor cats past the "aww le cute and fluffy" they are interesting and have funny tsundere-ish attitudes.

Outdoor cats are never-ever because they hunt so many animals, go into people's yards, and I have coyotes, hawks, and deer in the backyard that could hurt them anyway. not to mention ticks and stuff. the cats are very happy too. There is no reason to have outdoor cats desu.

>>2233705
>ITS FUCKIGN SHIT AND ITS LIFE DOESN'T MATTER AND ITS GARBAGE
No, it just means it's not a suitable pet for most people who have a dog to cat. At the end of the day you really don't want all those normies to have a giant lizard, especially if you really care about the animal. They will not take care of it remotely well.

>>2233736
yeah i agree with that, but he made it sound like they are worthless because "what's the point if they don't purr and aren't warm?"

>>2233742
they specified what's the point of cuddling. if you cuddle with your lizard more power to you, but I'd rather cuddle with my cat who actually enjoys it.

>>2233701

>and they treat you like the devil when you say you're not fond of dogs

Fucking this. I have both a cat and a dog, but dog owners tend to measure others' humanity based on whether or not they absolutely love dogs.

>>2233660
>And it only deals with short term memory.

if you think you waving at it like a retard is stored in it's long term memory think again, your cat doesn't care about you that much, it's originally a solitary hunter.

>Can you provide data to prove this?

it's anecdotal, that's about as 'credible' as measuring intelligence in animals is.

>They respond to a vocal signal.

they don't respond to actual words, they have no concept of words or names.

>So why does it behave like every other cat?

it doesn't, if there's plenty of food feral cats don't stay around eachother.

it's the same as 'packs' in dogs, they don't technically exist, they will only group together when there's food available in a certain area they're in and quickly disband after that.

>you're just too categorical to under how nature works.

you didn't even know hypoallergenic dogs and cats didn't exist until I told you.

I hate negative stereotypes about animals. The truth is that all animals are amazing.

Dogs are great for people who are active and love loyal companions.

Cats are amazing comfy roommates that like to care for themselves, and love to cuddle.

Birds are a nice challenge for a beginning pet owner. They're very unique and fun friends who need a little extra care.

Fish are amazing animals for beginners. They're not so affectionate but still appreciate your presence.

I could go on and on.

There's nothing wrong with being indifferent about a species of animals, but just be aware that some animals are for some people.

Cats are sassy, sarcastic, and smarter than dogs. The last one is factually incorrect. People mistake loyalty for stupidity. Studies show dogs are smarter. They were bred to be smarter.

Actually, i feel that only lonely, single, insane women are capable of taking care of birds like cockatoos for their lifetime.

Any sane man would know to stay away from long-lived noisy parrots. It is basically like taking care of a toddler for 80 years.

Meanwhile, plenty of men are shooting or throwing their dogs off bridges because they can't handle their testosterone fuelled rage if their pets do things they don't like.

Im a bird person and female. Have a cockatiel pair and a budgie im training for my mother.

Birds are very interactive and interesting. A challenge to train but very satisfying. It is quite sad that so many people do not know how to train and tame for these animals. oftentimes they are fed a seed mix, never let out of their cage, and die early.

I also like exotics like reptiles and arthropods, as i am an attention whoring edgy special snowflake who listens to dark music.

>>2235699

A dream of mine would definitely be to build an enclosure/coop/garden area for them and me where I could read and chill out with them.

But then again that's just a dream. I'd probably just still take care of cats lol

>>2236534
what can be done about it? is there some kind of prosthesis or you have to take the horse down?

>>2239160

It's a fingernail basically.

I assume it'll grow back in time.

Snail owners don't have stereotypes, do they? They're a pretty low maintenance but cute pet.

Snails are great. I've got 3. Trump, Hilary, and Bernie.

>>2239209
Those are the african giant snails? Good luck not getting diseased.

Are you Mike Tyson?

>>2239268
yeah, tyson's love for pigeons reminded me of forest whitakers character in Ghost Dog. Also Heard Tyson once beat some thug half to death when he hurt his pigeons.

I've seen that picture posted before with the explanation that it's the foot of a dead horse, and the hoof capsule has been removed post-mortem (probably to study the horse's anatomy). I'm not sure how easy it would be for that capsule to detach from a live horse's foot, but if that were to happen, my guess is the horse would be shit out of luck. Horses are heavy animals with thin legs, and limb injuries on them tend to be treated with gunshot to the head.

>everything that's not conideres a mainstream pet is extremely dangerous and the owners are clearly psychopaths

Because all tarantulas and snakes are 100% deadly and their only goal in life is to eat/kill as many children as possible. Yes.

You'd think nowadays with all the documentaries and zoos and such people would know better but no.

>>2235457
"Dogs are smarter" So? is there some point to this statement or is it
>M-m-muh pet's smerter

>>2239268
>Good luck not getting diseased.
Luckily snail keepers don't eat their pets so even if our snails did somehow come into contact with rat droppings and picked up rat lungworm we would still be safe.

>>2234839
>And reminder: don't fucking clip their wings
You're the only one who seems to hold that view on here.

Sorry but if you don't like dogs or cats then you're just an autist with no humanity and should be euthanized before you get the chance to pull a columbine

>>2233701
Wow. That sucks.

Around here it is VERY rude to let your dog jump on someone. People always (at least attempt) to correct their dog when it jumps. I think the mammal/bird owners and reptile/fish owners are pretty even around here. A lot even have both. Where are you from? Also, what pets do you like?

>>2240921
I like dogs, I don't like cats but I don't dislike them either (wouldn't have one as a pet, but I have no problem with cat people)

I always think indoor cat owners are women who are very lonely and usually single, like to knit, and have cat hair everywhere. Outdoor cat owners are usually men.

I think most dog owners are usually men that tie their dogs up in the backyard or take them hunting. Female dog owners are usually white and like toy breeds, and usually don't know what they're doing, but the dog is like their baby. I also think female dog owners are more likely to return their dogs, but at the same time demonize others who have to rehome or euthanize for any reason, like the dog mauled a kid.

For both men and women, I think cat and/or dog people are usually very vicious to people who don't like either animal, either due to bad experiences or allergies. Cat and dog owners usually prefer their pet to humans, and are most likely not to smile or be courteous to people around them.

Most of these are probably not true but just stuff I've noticed over the years from reading pet forums and social media.

How autistic is this thread lmao

>Men - involved in aquascaping, meticulous research, and tendency to keep biome specific fish with more complex specifications. Will focus more on the environment than the fish. Can range between small to massive aquariums
>Women - treat fish more as decor, will get more simpler, colorful fish. Sometimes more variety in the fish kept even if they do not live together in the wild. Will focus more on the fish than the environment. Generally only keeps smaller aquariums

>>2241226
This is very true.

>Turtle owners are fucking terrible

This is about the only stereotype I can think of for turtles/tortoises owners, as every reptile stereotype seems to only apply to snake/lizard fags. They seem to be far less vocal

Not a stereotype, but no one fucking takes care of their birds properly and it pisses me off


Also all horse girls are lying whores

Every person I ever knew that had a large parrot was always white trash, huge cage, usually in the kitchen, yuk, and bird shit and feathers everywhere, disgusting

Rat and mice folks, homes usually smell worse than cat people, let the rats out to run around, not eating there

Rabbiters, house smells, usually pellets and thick piss all over, waiting for the wire chewing to start

Fish Folks, never just 1 tank, but a room full or rooms full or a basement full, house is like a sauna, high amount of humidity, goldfishers, bad smell, tropical hey look at my Cichlids, salt water weirdos got a new 500 gallon tank setup, only 25 grand, glub glub

Cat ladies, ammonia smell, litter in the hair, smeared lipstick, cat shit everywhere, it just a temporary reduce, no it's your 27th cat, but no one will care for them

Back yard dog breeder, 100 pound sack of Kirtland dog kibble a day for the 14 dogs and they only pick up the shit when the city comes around, flies all over, concrete yard, gagging inside my house

Jesus Christ

Don't even start me on the buggers

I thought this thread was about cat people, your just talking about cat likers.

Tarantulas are like the easiest pets I've ever had.

>iguanas eat meat

I have met so many fucking old people who look at me wierd for not feeding my iguana cat food and crickets because "thats what we did in the 80's!"
And when I try to explain to them that iguanas are pretty strictly herbivores they refuse to accept it.
Only people worse are the "my cousins sisters aunts friends ex boyfriend had a 8 foot long python that he let roam around and woke up with it stretched out next to him after not eating for a week and when he brought it to the vet the vet said it was sizing him up to eat him so he shot it"
Ill go fucking nuclear on the next person who says this.

You do realize that triptrolls like bugguy can be blocked, yes?
Instead of the rest of us having to wade through all your bickering. Anyone who starts up with bugguy is just falling for his trap and giving him what he wants: attention

What say you about hermit crabs?

>>2243273

Husky owners have are often wolfaboos and fox owners are pretty much always fox fangirls.

>>2244714

People gave their iggies meat? I thought that was a cartoon cliche! They would have died within months.

>>2244742

You sound like a wimp.

>>2240885

The thread is about stereotypes. People stereotype cats as smart while dogs are dumb. Factually, dogs are actually smarter than cats.

>>2240876

People know corn snakes aren't dangerous but they're still scared of them. A cute little orange snake isn't gonna hurt you, seriously.

>>2247850
My mom is afraid of all snakes, including corns, ball pythons or hell those sand boas that looks more like sausages than snakes. She thinks either they're venomous or will strangle you in your sleep if they get out

I can never own a tube dude of my own until I can finally afford my own place.

All petfags are immoral freaks who get off on controlling, imprisoning, and dominating helpless animals.

>>2233357
But literally all the breeds you just named are black person breeds.

>>2248363
stop whiteknighting animals

but seriously why do some people have the urge to keep pets?
is it godlike domination
fascination
childish and emotional toy collecting
maternal instincts?
is it part of our farmer genetics?

I understand having dogs, farm animals. also a cat or a bird but not the need to keep less interactive and useful fish, reptiles, frogs or insects.

>>2233357

I just enjoy learning about animals and find them fun.

"No one owns hermit crabs."

>>2250488

>owning a pet for comfort, tool/food use, and interactivity is justified

Kinda hypocritical there, don't you think? (inb4 muh hunter-gathers/farmers life styles)

Having any kind of animal is technically questionable but at the root of it, people just want to own an animal because they want to, as simple as that. People want dogs for whatever guard or service duty too sure but even then, people get dogs, cats, birds, interactive mammals simply because they want them.

It's why non useful dog breeds and domestic cats exist, captive bred exotic birds, and all the like.

That said, same is pretty much true for the rest: people just want them, despite whatever other reasoning they need to justify it. Non interactive have those other reasons replaced with fascination, learning about said animals and their environments, therapeutic effects in observations (why do you think public places like doctor offices, restaurants, and other business keep aquariums for public viewing? )
