Norton3000 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Oh no! Not dogs! Theres allready so cruel things on Runescape! Think about those poor fish you kill just to keep YOU alive. And what about those poor dagannoths the Fremennik people like killing? And rock crabs that you 'pures' slash with your scimmies. They have feelings too! ~~ No sarcasm was used while writing this post because it has feelings too! ~~ Retired from RuneScape for as long as possible.

ThruItAll Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 This isn't the only animal abuse, look at hunter, and killing cows and chickens and rams is for that matter. danke Schon Sam!^^"Blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves you know"-Carl Barât Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkan420 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Dude, it's runescape. Half the friggin game is about killing animals purely to gain something of value from them, if this was a legitimate feeling it would have been rustled up years ago. It's only hitting a nerve because it's man's best friend, it has little to nothing to do with overall animal rights or the game itself would make you shed a tear.

qeltar Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Why is it people complain about "cruelty" to pretend dogs but not to stuff like "your slayer assignment is to murder 134 elves"? Get real.

meb Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 RUNESCAPE IS A GAME. Get it? Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

Nice_Badger Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I agree as well, it is a saddening subject, and Jagex might have gone overboard with that. Still, it's a game, and you should get over that. 1 Brandonssx, 1338+Skill Total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_odie Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Shooing a dog is not the same as animal abuse. I do agree on the idea of being able to pet the dog or even give it a slab of meat but shooing is not animal buse. Animal abuse is the physical violence or neglect of a dog. If a dog comes at me I will shoo it away most of the time. :shame: If you have a problem with it contact JAGEX. Don't make a big deal. It almost seems that this is whole post is to raise the number to the left of every post for yah. Not being mean just giving facts. (If i was being mean I would have told you to shoo(mayby they should have a shoo buton on lv5 beggers(aka noobs))) Srry to leave on bad note :P RIP MichaelangelopolousThanks to cowboy14 for the pimp sig!

Candymann16 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 so because you can kill player in the wilderness its like sublininal army recruting service to kill others, what about people killing random rats, cows, birds, it happens in runescape because it is a FAKE IMAGINARY GAME, completely fictional, they arent supporting animal cruelty, they are just trying to simulate a bit of real life in the game, go to any city back streets and you will see abandoned animals, its just a fact of life and generally if one starts to follow you you tell it to go away animal cruelty didnt even cross my mind when i clicked one of the dogs in varrock, i just smiled a bit and moved on, i wounldnt even think of hurting an animal after doing that, if you feel that strongly about such matters may i suggest you never study psychology because you wont be too pleased with some of the experiments they did to animals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ltje Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 You're taking this way too far, honestly. The real issue here isn't promotion of animal cruelty. It's your inability to differentiate a virtual online game and real life. I suggest maybe stop playing Runescape if you're going THIS outrageously far with your opinions. You're totally right on that one. Retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThruItAll Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yes, and so killing other players isn't as bad an example? danke Schon Sam!^^"Blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves you know"-Carl Barât Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcneilp Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Here it is, with every update there is at least one thing players dont like...this time cruelty to animals??!? Come on, it is a game, the dog is pixels and has no feelings and shooing it away isn't cruel... :wall: When hunter was released, i didn't see anyone complaining how we were catching wild animals and killing em... GET OVER IT, IT IS A GAME! It isn't in the castle, It isn't in the mist, It's a calling of the waters, As they break to show, The new Black Death, With reactors aglow, Do you think your security, Can keep you in purity, You will not shake us off above or belowScottish frictionScottish fiction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solidus_77 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 The author is really just self centered. Just because he lost a dog he thinks that dogs now must be seen as heavenly beings and cannot possibly stand any representations that could be viewed as "abuses", but what about the other pets!? What do they get? Pet rats are not as uncommon as you might think. I use to have a pet rat which I loved dearly, and I must say it did hurt my feelings when rat pits came out (and I'm glad that didn't become popular) so I can sympathize on that point. But you've got to realize that this is only a game, and if it really makes you feel bad about these dogs, then try not to walk around varrock. 76th to reach 99 Construction on 6th of February 2007379th to reach 99 Runecrafting on 4th of November 2007 Finally the secrets of goal achieving are revealed!

Alg Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 people have been shooing stray dogs since the beginning of domesticated dogs... we can THROW HAMSTERS at other people, but nobody seems to complain about that. MURDER is also common in the streets, and you get praised for being a good THIEF. we catch billions of fish every day and people are encouraged to KILL COWS for their hides. let's not forget the thousands of trees that are BURNED AND CUT DOWN down so that some random person can show he's skilled. and you complain about shooing dogs?

Evil_Sabre Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 do we not kill animals in this game to gain levels, do we not hunt them to gain levels? Can you tell me you have never killed one in this game?its just a game and your not actually hurting the dog anyway, your making a really wierd sound and its running away, dont take things like this so seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeltar Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Apparently the genuises complaining about this don't realize that it has always been possible to get dogs as SLAYER ASSIGNMENTS. ~q Qeltar, aka Charles KozierokWebmaster, RuneScoop - Premium RuneScape Information for Expert Players -- Now Free!Featuring the Ultimate Guide to Dungeoneering -- everything you need to know to get the most of the new skill!

Phil Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 it's not so much the option to shoo them but rather the 'whine' that appears. I'd much rather see the dog attack me rather than be scared away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruDaDaLoom Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I think we should have 2 more options. Kick--where the dog walks off with a limp and then dies because it can't hunt or get around anymore. and Stab--where we get no exp, just the joy of stabbing a dog.

superson Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 So you can KILL beasts and animals on Runescape (including PEOPLE) but not shoo them... Makes no sense whatsoever.

willyhenriksen Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Well... this is a game, you just KILLED a human being and few his bones to the dog for fun? I think you got a quite awkward perspective, right there. R.I.P. Shiva and Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper88888 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Lmao 'animal abuse' morons are pathetic. I notice that you don't care about killing the hundreds of different creatures and people(Including wild dogs...) on RS, just about saying 'tbbhhth!' to a dog. Wow, you told a dog to go away, how horrible! :roll: And besides, it's a freaking game. I have a dog irl that I love, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go crazy when I see someone shoo a pixelated dog. And seriously, what kind of lifeless idiot would WANT to spend hours shooing a dog? There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
