No they don't. I'm guessing you're referring to that video of the Hippo "chewing" on the zebra corpse? That's just an angry bull hippo, the "chewing" is the equivalent of punching something when you're mad. Unless you're referring to something else, then give me that source.

they couldn't . . .

do you not know about what a dog is, and where they have come from?
>>
>>2547186
Maybe not Italian Greyhounds, but it's a consistent issue with many other dog breeds in general.
>>
Actual greyhounds would probably be one of the best non-primitive breeds to survive in the wild because at least they can hunt. Meanwhile other feral dogs get wrecked by cattle and deer.
>>
>>2547186
thats bullshit though, most of them need c-sections to birth their puppies. most of them would die out without humans in one generation

What house just had a bunch of uncovered, easily accessible vents? This isn't half life
>>
>>2546895
Because much ecosystem
who gives a fuck if a bunch of ugly animals we dont care about get extinct, if we have much cooler/cuter animals to replace them?

The Red Wolf for example, would be an awesome wild animal to have all around the east coast, but they're just kept in areas where they're never seen. Imagine going out to throw out your garbage, and you see a red wolf rummaging through it instead of a disgusting ugly possum or black bear. The red wolf can kill the uglier animals so you see them less often, and make what would be a nuisance, a good experience. They're also practially domestic dogs so you can pet them and play with them, then when you get bored, let them go back into the wild.

>This isn't half life

You wouldn’t recognize it as a super cool Red Wolf, it just looks like a super greasy, sick, and mangy coyote when it’s forced to live off of trash. They often get killed around here for that exact reason. You’d just be exchanging one ugly animal for an equally ugly but more dangerous one.

To be fair, one of my shorthair dogs fucking hates the cold. If he doesn’t have a jacket on, he throws a little pouty fit and wants to go inside. So I can see some merit in his question.

That's awesome. Puppy's first snow is always a joy. Glad he likes it! The sweater should be plenty to keep him warm enough for a romp in the snow.

>>2547727
Give him a break, it's his first dog and a puppy. Better overprotective than negligent. Besides, some shorthaired dogs really do dislike the cold.

Inflicting pain on a helpless animal is the most pleasurable, exhilarating, and freeing feeling one can experience. If you disagree then you're a cuck.
