Why do people discriminate against dark pets?

Black Dog Syndrome is the name shelter workers have given to the tendency of dark-furred pups to languish in kennels while their lighter-furred brethren get adopted. “The effect is very real,” says Mirah Horowitz, executive director and founder of Lucky Dog Animal Rescue. “We recently had a litter of five very cute, very fluffy puppies, two yellow and three black. And the yellow ones all went immediately, but for the black ones it took weeks.” Black dogs get euthanized at higher rates. They linger at pounds and adoption agencies for longer than light-colored dogs, and they are less likely to find a home. Marika Bell, director of behavior and rehoming for the Humane Society of Washington, D.C., says that the organization has been tracking animals that have stayed at their shelters the longest since March 2013. They found that three characteristics put a pet at risk of becoming one of these so-called “hidden gems”: medium size, an age of 2-3 years, and an ebony coat. A 2013 study by Penn State psychologists revealed that people find images of black dogs scarier than photos of yellow or brown dogs — respondents rated the dark-furred animals less adoptable, less friendly, and more intimidating.

Personally, I think it's all bullshit. It really is bullshit. Well, jew snake shit is more like it. I like dogs. I've always been around people who like dogs very much. I never heard of anyone "discriminating" against black dogs. I never experienced it with anyone at any time, I never heard of it. I've spent my whole life around dogs.

I myself volunteered at an animal shelter, trying to get dogs adopted. No one turned down a dog simply because the dog was black. What a pile of shit.

This jew Mirah Horowitz-- her name sounds like "Horrorwitz". I notice in the last few years, we hear more and more from jews about black dogs are being discriminated against. The jews are trying everything they possibly can to turn everything into a white/black, black/white racial issue, to keep racial antagonism and racial animosity sky-high. What a pile of jew snake shit it all is.

Her jew name suits her to a "T" : Horrorwitz. Perfect name for yet another filthy lying jew trying to stir up even more racial animosity. F*ck the jew lying bitch and her desperate attempt to turn dogs into a black/white, white/black racial issue. Totally detestable. Abhorrent really, the more one thinks about it.

If this Horrorwitz jew woman is so appalled by discrimination and injustice, then she should go to her jew Israel and tell her fellow jews to STOP shooting Palestinian children down like dogs, just for sport, as her fellow jews do every day in Palestine/Israel since 1947.
