Unpopular opinions.

I have no idea if this is a popular or unpopular opinion, but it seems like the right time for it.

Owning a pedigree dog is a venal and often cruel practice. It enables weirdos on puppy farms, and most of the time it's merely to satisfy the trite and vain proclivities of the owner.
If the dog is there to fulfill a specific function that its breed is best designed for then it at least serves a purpose; sheepdog, police sniffer dog, etc. If, on the other hand, it's just that a "dog lover" wanted a pure-breed Alsatian or English Bulldog, in the full knowledge that they would be very likely to have significant (and often ultimately fatal, courtesy of a vet's needle) health issues, then it's gross and really speaks ill of us as a species. 

I'm pretty sure that purebred English bulldogs can't be born naturally, they are all delivered via c-section.

I mean most dogs are bred now for characteristics, it's just the extent that it's done.

Lots of those characteristics are nice, e.g. I love the way Alsatians look. I wouldn't get one though; I don't want a dog that in all likelihood I'll have to put down aged 10 because it's back hips are fucked due to warped genetic meddling. And it's not just the bit where it dies - the months/years before where arthritis kicks in is just unnecessarily cruel.

The whole crowd joined in. Every man there, everyone patted me on the back afterwards too and the whole class was laughing. 

A few years ago did you throw your phone in disgust and was shocked when a Celtic fan in the other stand caught it?

Fun we're talking about booing Tavernier and dogs at the same time since he's a horrible dog breeder who clips their ears

Horrible horrible c**t.

Not sure me posting a picture of a dog abuser warrants a red dot but there we go.

WTF????

That's completely rank. Seriously, only a totally irredeemable c-nt would do that.

This might be a dumb question. Why clip their ears?

So the other dog has nothing to grab onto when they're fighting. And it makes them look scary, which appeals to a certain type of inadequate men.

Dog fighting. And vanity. What an absolutely despicable horrible c**t. 

Tavernier that is, not you Shotgun.

Helps them at penalties I think.

Here's an article talking about the recent rise in ear cropping (which is illegal, btw) believed to be, in part at least, driven by dickheads like Tavernier and other celebrities posting pictures of their mutilated dogs on social media.

Appreciate the clarification.

The way some of you long term posters feels so assaulted when you get a red dot is quite sad tbh, you don't need to publically announce it as if you're a victim. I disliked the post because it's emotive nonsense aimed at someone I like. @TAFKAM posted a sneaky white lie and you've doubled down on it in a performative manner imo. In future I can perhaps submit full break downs of my future likes and dislikes via DM?

Tavernier sells them on, there's certainly an argument to be made about the ethics of being involved in the trade and I'm sure you could make a compelling argument that selling on dogs that have already had their ears clipped supports this market and therefore is cunty behaviour but it's still a couple of large steps away from actually clipping the dogs ears and "dog fighting" which you'd have to be pretty naive to think Tavernier actually partakes in.

Of course he doesn't partake. It's dog v dog, numbnuts.

I'll take this one to the forum courts of pedantry. "Partake" was perfectly acceptable unless you were making a funny in which case I apologise for killing that one.

Well, he's allegedly selling dogs with mutilated ears as a business. So even if he isn't personally taking the loppers to them; he's still promoting the barbarity. Ergo, he's a c**t.

New low for Stormzy here, would've thought falling head over heel to defend a guy battering his girlfriend the limit but we can now extend that to disfiguring dogs is sound if you're a Rangers player.

Not sure its lower than his recent belittling of someones mental health problems because they play for Celtic but it must be close.

Oooft. That's an impressively snakey post. 

For clarity, not that I should need to say this but I've never defended anyone battering their girlfriend. Nor have I defended disfiguring dogs.. it seems purposeful poor comprehension has struck again.

Ahahah disbelieving Leigh Griffiths stories about mental health isn't exactly "belittling someone's mental health problems because they play for Celtc". 

I'd do the same no matter who he played for because that's not the point, again you probably know this isn't the point but due to your neeky playground level of banter think that false accusations over such issues is good patter. You're a top top man so you are.
