Mine cares about, and wants to spend as much time with me as possible. She can sit anywhere and look out the windows. About 20meter of glass, and even has her own sofa perch to look out.

But she'd rather hop up in bed with me, and look out the smaller bedroom window. When trolling AN ... She's by me side ...

If I'm in the car, on the scooter, she's with me

Balls, all animals are equal, no difference between wild, domestic and farm yard ones, it's just artificial categorisation by humans. There is no difference in eating a stinking dog than a pig, sheep or cow. Pets do not 'love' you they only respond to you because you Feed them. Eat more dogs.

I'm guessing you missed graduating summa cum laude from a top notch veterinary program by a good margin.

A highly trained machine says:

Scientific Proof of Dog Love

• Brain Activity: Brain scans show that a dog's reward center lights up more for their owner’s scent than for food.

• The Love Hormone: When dogs and owners gaze at each other, both experience a surge in oxytocin, which is the same hormone that builds maternal and romantic bonds in humans.

• Evolutionary Changes: According to the American Kennel Club, dogs evolved specialized facial muscles and a genetic attraction to humans that wolves do not possess, enabling deep eye contact and connection.

Good dog, same as a sheep, pig, cow or even a horse

You're so far off it's laughable. Animals, especially dogs seem to feel all the emotions of a human; joy, shame, sorrow, love, grief, hate/distrust, being protective. I never trained my first dog to be protective, but shame on you if you touched me in an aggressive way.

He had a good sense of character also, and didn't seem to like anyone I didn't like.

So many animals exhibit the same emotions.

1. Theft

Every day in cities across Southeast Asia, pets and stray dogs and cats are brutally snatched by ruthless traffickers looking to make a profit. Armed thieves patrol neighborhoods stealing pets from their yards or who are roaming the streets, and threatening pet owner’s lives as well.. The snatching of cats and dogs has created intense societal unrest in places like Indonesia and Vietnam as people are sick and tired of having their pets stolen, and in some cases have resorted to violence to stop pet theft in their communities.

2. Trading

Dog and cat meat traders also drive through villages exchanging pots and pans for unwanted dogs and cats. Often dogs which are sick, old or have behavioural issues are sold into the dog meat trade. Sometimes even puppies, if they are unwanted.

3. Transport & Holding Areas

Dogs and cats are roughly handled and crammed into cages and sacks so tightly that they can’t move, their mouths bound shut so they can hardly breathe. Crammed together on trucks or on the back of motorbikes, many suffer from broken bones, exhaustion, and heat stroke before reaching their final destination at slaughterhouses, markets and restaurants. 

4. Slaughtering

The slaughtering of cats and dogs is crude and barbaric. The most commonly used techniques include drowning, bludgeoning, stabbing, boiling or blowtorching animals while they are still alive. While awaiting slaughter, dogs and cats are held in filthy pits and cages; their fear unimaginable. Individual animals are grabbed one by one with large metal tongs to lift them out of the cage to be killed.

For those that are to be drowned, dogs and cats are transferred into smaller holding cages to be lowered into a filthy pit of water until they are dead.

Drowning

Drowning is a common method of killing given its ability to kill large numbers of animals at once, with minimal noise. Prior to drowning, dogs and cats are commonly kept in a larger cages for days, and then transferred into smaller cages that fit into the drowning pit. Drowning causes prolonged agony and suffering, as dogs fight to get air. 

Hanging/Strangling

The hanging or strangulation of dogs is a common way of killing individual animals. The noose is put around the animals' neck while they are in the cage and then yanked tightly, suffocating the animal. Dogs will often break their teeth on the metal bars of the cage in their vain efforts to break free from the noose.

Stabbing/Beating to death

Many dogs are clubbed over the head (frequently not achieving unconsciousness but rather just being hurt) and then stabbed in the throat. Dogs are often hung upside down when they have their throats slit, allowing drainage of blood into a bucket.

Blowtorching

At the live markets of North Sulawesi, Indonesia, blowtorching is a common way of slaughtering cats and dogs. The animals are first clubbed over the head and then blow torched. During our visits, every animal we witnessed was blowtorched while still conscious and some were even trying to get up. The sound the dogs make is particularly harrowing, these animals can not scream but they whimper in severe agony as their lives come to an end.

As barbaric as it can be, which shows the mentality of those who think nothing about life and only what profit it might bring to them.

Yes.

Just like they care about the taste when they lick their butts.

I question that. Indonesians as a rule done keep dogs. Only the Christian ones.

Cats maybe but I don't know many Indonesians with pets. Unclean?

Some Indonesians do have dogs, mainly outside for protection. Stats show up to 7% of Indonesians eat dogs.Non Muslims. The non Muslims have them as regular pets. You're right about Muslims considering dogs filthy......https://cattledogpublishing.com/blog/cats-and-dogs-in-indonesia/

^ I know some Indonesians eats dogs, mostly black ones. For what specific reason I don't know. But I have not heard of armed gangs roaming Indonesia stealing pets. Not enough guns and not enough pets.

I will go to ExpatIndo and ask.

They blow-torch chickens, don't they?

This is a very effective and efficient method which I have seen only in Asia, and East Asia.

Chickens are stunned by low voltage or gassed and then have their throats cut while unconscious and don't suffer unless an incompetent worker doesn't do it correctly.These methods do have their downside while the birds are shackled, but it doesn't come close to how the dogs and cats are treated in Asia.

Maybe a blowtorch would be OK for them, I think.....
