People generally flip their lids if you say you whoop or hit your dog. However. The majority of people swat and spank their children.

You're told you're a bad or lazy dog owner if you don't walk your dog every day, or feed your dog expensive dog food. However. People complain about needing breaks from their kids, put their kids in daycare alllll day, or put them in front of the tv/tablet and ignore them. They also are told it's no big deal to give them junk food.

It's odd. Why are people more protective of dogs than human children? Thoughts?
