Someone who seems to think they’re God’s gift to animal equality really didn’t think it through before complaining about a pet shop’s kind gesture – and they got owned. Hard.
We’d hate to see what would happen if the neighbourhood cats got wind of free Dreamies just knocking about. Other treat brands are available.
Reddit users had a few things to say.
And you’d better have some goddamned lettuce ready for when I come in with my tortoise! davewave3283
And what about people? Some of us like to eat, too. It’s not fair that you single us out, that’s species racism. You can give a dog a treat, but you can’t throw some steaks on the grill for their humans? idrow1
I wish I had an unruly cat I took shopping. r0nm0r0n
My rabbit likes mango if you could keep some of that on hand. max-wellington
But the bottom line is this, from u/JazziTazzi.
I hope this shop owner doesn’t change what they are doing because of this idiot! Very sweet to give out free dog treats!

Here's a closer look at these freezing spots.</p><h3>Chamouchouane, Quebec</h3><br/><p>Chamouchouane takes the cake (or popsicle) for the world's third-coldest place today, with temperatures dropping to a bone-chilling -40 C. For context, that's colder than Siberia. With no mercy from icy winds, frostbite can happen in just minutes.</p><h3>Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec</h3><br/><p>Not far behind, Rouyn-Noranda is in a deep freeze with temperatures hitting -38 C. Calm winds might make it feel slightly less brutal, but don't let that fool you — it's dangerously cold out there.</p><h3>Chapais, Quebec</h3><br/><p>In Chapais, residents face -37 C with scattered clouds and brisk winds adding to the chill. This level of cold makes staying outside for too long seriously risky.</p><h3>Bonnard 1</h3><br/><p>This part of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean area matches Chapais with equally icy temperatures of -37 C.</p><h3>Parent, Quebec</h3><br/><p>Parent rounds out the list, with the thermometer also reading -37. Fortunately, conditions have been listed as "calm."</p><p>Here's how the global top 10 rounded out on Tuesday morning, with the vast majority of cold spots being found throughout Canada:</p><ol> <li>Alykel, Russia: -43 C</li><li>Eureka, Canada: -40 C</li><li>Chamouchouane, Quebec, Canada: -40 C</li><li>Rankin Inlet, Canada: -39 C</li><li>Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada: -38 C</li><li>Chapais, Quebec, Canada: -37 C</li><li>Parent, Quebec, Canada: -37 C</li><li>Bonnard 1, Quebec, Canada: -37 C</li><li>Timmins, Ontario, Canada: -37 C</li><li>Taloyoak, Canada: -39 C</li></ol><h2>Why is it so cold?</h2><p>While Quebec is no stranger to a brutally cold winter, these frigid temperatures result from arctic air masses sweeping across Canada. The polar vortex tightened its icy grip over the weekend, and Quebec is in the direct path of this frosty air invasion.</p><p>Quebecers could soon be in for a well-deserved warm spell, though.</p><p>According to <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/quebec-winter-forecast-2025" target="_self">The Weather Network's mid-winter report card</a>, February is expected to bring a shift in the weather, with milder temperatures making an appearance during the second and third weeks of the month.</p><p><em>Love this?
