Nah, it's no worries. I'm used to it to a certain extent. Where I live (which is in canada) dogs are tools. And they are "farmed" for their furs. If my dog gets off leash alone she's got a shelf life of about 2 hours before she's dead and lining someone's gloves. That's just life here. So I get it. "Pet" means different things to different people.

• By farmed I mean they are allowed to breed so they have unwanted dogs so that nobody cares if they die and end up as fur to line your clothing when foxes can't be found.
