    One day, I had to tell someone that they should research pet safety before giving other people pet safety advice. This person was recommending people to feed their dogs things that are well known to seriously poison and harm them. Apparently, according to that person, all dogs can eat anything because their grandma’s one dog was fine.

    I responded with links showing that the food was in fact harmful, and a lovely mod banned me for “arguing”. It filled me with rage. Not because I was banned, but because the OG misinformation was still up, but all of the corrections were removed. Other people’s comments correcting it were removed, too. Fuck accurate information intended to keep pets safe, I guess.

    I hope that the random people who saw the post looked it up before trusting that person.
