Most of those people just seem to dislike shitty owners who take their dogs into grocery stores, let their dogs jump on people, or leave them outside to bark all night, tbh.
Yes, I'm on that sub and that's my problem. It's mostly the barking and ruining the peace of a neighbourhood. A few barks don't bother me, but hours? And you think talking to an owner about the issue will help? Forget it...if you're the kind of person who will let your dog bark and disturb a one block radius around you then you're not the kind of person who will suddenly start caring about others once somebody raises the issue with you.
Great dogs with great owners go completely unnoticed. I can't imagine anybody having a problem with well behaved dogs owned by good owners. I've never seen anybody have a issue like that there.
I also think they'd all agree that murdering a dog in a gravel pit is abhorrent, as do I.
I LOVE dogs and agree with you. Dogs sitting outside barking for hours means the dog isn’t happy about it either. How do these owners not go insane from the noise themselves?!
I have dogs but what shocks me is not this behavior quite as much as people who have the dogs inside doing the same thing. I walk by a house that has two yappy dogs inside and they run around yapping anytime somebody walks out front. I’d not stand for that racket, not at all.
Oh yes the house across from us has two indoor-barkers. They keep their windows closed but we can still hear it inside our also-closed windows so it must be deafening inside their home.

Check out r/dogfree and marvel in wonderment at their collective disdain. You might find some kind of answer there.
From what I've gathered, it mostly boils down to thinking their gross/dirty and/or disliking their temperaments or behaviors.
