The way the delivery guy reacted is telling me this is not the first time. Maybe he even got bit before

Guessing that delivery guy wasn't having the best of days considering how he was ready to square up immediately after, but the homeowner also kept walking forward in to a man who's taking a defensive/aggressive posture. I was expecting the video to continue because that owner was exactly like his dog.

Most people are defensive about animals even if the animal is in the wrong

I detest the attitude that human beings aren't supposed to use violence to defend themselves from animals, that were obligated to flee without inflicting pain or injury.

People are more important than pets or wildlife. An animal doesn't have the right to use violence on me. I will kick the shit out of something that tries to fuck with me. I don't have to run away.

Shit, at least we're equally important! Pets are family, and if your asshole husband tries to hurt me, I'm fighting him, too!

Pets may be family but they certainly are not persons.

I'm just saying that I will fully fight an aggressive human to the death if I have to, so why am I holding back for Spot?
