- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I know this is a joke, but a bad dog is so much more of a problem than a bad cat. (Not counting feral animals)
Bad cat: angry, wants you to leave them the fuck alone, scratches you at the slightest provocation
Bad dog: hyperactive or jumps all over you or barks at you, can seriously injure or kill you.
Our society takes for granted that you can take your dog anywhere (in Australia at least), and I don't think enough emphasis is placed on the fact if you can't 100% control your dog, don't bring it anywhere near people.
The number of people saying "oh he's friendly" as their dog scares someone afraid of dogs because they're jumping up on them is stupid.
This society values dogs more, and I just don't get it.
I see "good" dogs constantly jumping on people, scratching them, biting their fingers when they get too happy, barking at anything and everyone, and being entirely unpredictable. I personally really dislike dogs and I have never found an owner that actually keeps their dog from jumping on me.
Dogs are not inherently good and most are very dangerous.
I don't have to be cautious with my infant around cats, but I definitely do around dogs.
I mean I would still supervise it, I wouldn't trust an infant to not do something that would cause the cat to get stressed and scratch. Kid could easily lose an eye.
Of course, and I do. But I can at least be pretty sure the cat won't do anything unprompted. They just sit there until messed with.
Dogs are hyperactive balls of weight, teeth, and claws and they typically don't understand their own bodies and the harm they can cause.
