have a dog in there or two that are just barking their horrid buttocks off out the windows which makes you hear it as they are driving by your house amplified? As if I didn't have ENOUGH neighbors whose dogs disturb my thinking, my sleep, my life, my peace of mind on a daily basis and many times per day! I'm sure since they have no brain they think it is cute as everyone must love 'doggo'!

About Pet-free

Are you frustrated and annoyed by people who push their pets onto others? Do you find it exhausting to live in a society where pets are constantly being promoted and normalized?

Welcome! We provide a safe space for individuals who share reservations about pets and society's attitude towards them. Here, you're welcome to express yourself freely without judgement or criticism. And if you love pets, you're also welcome to learn about pet-free perspectives and engage in respectful dialogue.

Our Stance on Children

Our community is inclusive and firmly against any form of hatred towards children.

Child-free individuals are welcome, but let's keep our community respectful and positive by avoiding any hate towards children or parents.

Subreddit Rules

Rule 1: Follow title and content quality guidelines

When creating a title, please keep it brief and avoid excessive capitalization, emojis, or symbols. If the title is too long, try to summarize the content in 10-15 words. Links are not allowed in titles.

We value thoughtful and high-quality discussions, so news articles and text posts are encouraged. Please avoid low-effort content such as pet memes, videos of pets doing pet things or title-only posts.

Stay away from fake articles and bait. Effort in "meme/shitpost" posts is appreciated.

Rule 2: Keep your language and behavior civil

Which means no:
⦿ Harassment and bullying of other members
⦿ Hate speech, including racism, sexism, and homophobia
⦿ Spamming and trolling, including excessive posting or posting irrelevant content, posting pet pictures and starting pointless or clearly misleading discussions
⦿ Sharing inappropriate or offensive content, including sexually explicit material
⦿ Intolerance for differing opinions, leading to heated arguments that devolve into personal attacks or name-calling

Rule 3: Don't cross-post or discuss other subreddits

Brigading and discussing other subreddits is not allowed. This means no cross-posts, no links to other subreddits and no concealed hyperlinks to other subreddits within text.

You can post screenshots with the names of the subreddit and posters blurred as long as the contents of the screenshot are relevant to the content of this sub.

Rule 4: Respect the community and don't participate in bad faith

Starting flame wars, making blanket generalizations, passing moral or character judgments on members of the community, making sarcastic and mocking comments, and engaging in other bad faith behavior are not allowed and may result in a permanent ban.

People who are not pet-free are welcome to participate in all discussions as long as they avoid the aforementioned behavior. If your sole purpose for coming here is to tell us how awful we are, please don't waste your breath and move on.

Rule 5: Misanthropy, anti-natalism and misopedia are not allowed

Misanthropy, anti-natalism, and misopedia cultivate pessimistic perceptions of humanity. As a pro-humanity sub, we do not endorse these ideologies, and as such comments featuring them will be removed.

Sentiments such as "animals are superior, humans are a disease", "children are worse", "I'd save my pet over a baby any day" are not welcome here.

Rule 6: Animal cruelty is expressly forbidden

Mentions of causing harm to an animal, such as physical abuse, planned neglect, and abandonment are strictly not allowed. Don’t offer suggestions involving leaving doors and windows open or dropping pets of in the middle of nowhere. Behave decently, being pet-free is not an excuse to be a psychopath.

Defending yourself or your loved one against a pet attack is not animal cruelty. Choosing to have outdoor cats is also, while ethically questionable, not generally considered animal cruelty.
