The Case Against Rescuing Dogs (and Cats)
from #236 - I Love My Family | The Tim Dillon Show · #236
10 min
Tim builds an elaborate bit arguing that animal shelters are the actual problem, that only breeders should be allowed to sell dogs, that rescuing an animal makes you a zoophile with a god complex, and that owning a dog at all signals you're not serious about succeeding.
- Tim proposes maybe outlawing dog rescues because of the risk to people and babies.
- Rescuing a dog means adopting a homeless, mentally ill animal into your home versus buying a purebred from a breeder with lineage.
- Dogs that haven't made the right choices should take responsibility—lost dogs without collars or chips should go to kill shelters.
- Animal shelters are the actual problem; they create a thriving business model that treats homeless pets like drug mules.
- Only people who can afford thousands of dollars from a breeder should get dogs, even though purebreds have health problems.
- Tim has always been against rescuing dogs and doesn't understand why it's controversial.
- Cats were gods in Egypt and should survive on streets, never be taken to shelters.
- Rescuing a dog reveals you have a god complex, suggesting rescuers are the same type of people who have sex with animals.
- People who work in shelters are sick people; rescuing a dog is essentially bestiality, making you a zoophile.
- If you're young and ambitious but have an adopted dog, you're signaling you're not serious about succeeding.
- Time is so valuable; having a dog shows you don't understand that, which is why Tim had six dogs before doing the Rogan show.
