If your dog realizes that your leather jacket is the skin of another animal then it probably thinks you're a psycho.

Dogs like squeaky toys, because it simulates killing small animals. It doesn’t care if you kill other animals.

My dog would wear a squirrel as a hat if we let him.

If my dogs are any indication, they would wear a recently deceased squirrel as a coat, entrails and all, preferably dripping blood.

My pup straight up skinned a squirrel a few weeks after we adopted her.

Hey, it's cool when the Orca do it with Salmon! Why do you want your dog to not be cool.

I don’t think dogs are that judgmental.

When you bring someone home and the dog starts growling:

I srsly doubt that animals put that much thought into such things, especially considering that most of them lick their own butts.

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y (1 reply)

You don't think we'd lick our own butts if we could? We already lick others' butts. It's purely an access/availability issue.

Alright that was a bad example. Animals don't show signs of moralizing about killing other animals. At least my cats sure as hell don't.

It really is the clothes themselves that are strange. That they come from plants, animals, or minerals are largely unimportant, but canis lupus really doesn't care what you kill.

xylogx@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

The weird thing about clothes is that we don’t think they are weird.

They would do it too if they could

Yeah pretty sure my dog thinks it's baller

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 3 pts · 1y

Maybe not huskies not living in the snow. They would rather remove the one they already wear.

jollyrogue@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 1y

They would. Mine love to roll around in dead things when I’m not watching.

The cat thinks it’s cool

Is it the skin of other animals?

VicVinegar@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

No, the poop.

My dog eats his own shit so ….

Tiuku@sopuli.xyz · 8 pts · 1y

More likely the dog would just chew on the jacket.

Una@europe.pub · 7 pts · 1y

And dogs are just as psycho as humans

Or that you’re a mighty hunter!

My dogs would probably think I was that much cooler for it, I don't have a leather jacket though.

I knew those thumbs were good for more than turning metal cylinders into food.

deadcatbounce@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 1y

Anything oil based, like plastic, is the bodies of another animals. Your dog is probably wearing a plastic collar, if not a leather one .. oh wait!

You also don't teach a dog about astronomy.
