Ah, of course the one canine-critical post has the semitransparent sheen of mass reflexive downvotes. What is the medical term for a psychological obsession with canines?


It's a bit gauche to discuss the reason for downvotes - but I don't think it's likely being downvoted by "Big Dog", but rather the fact that it's just a random complaint about a random city with no particular insight and completely irrelevant to the topic.


I didn’t downvote but I think it’s because the post feels like it’s using the article headline as an awkward segue to complain about dog shit in Austin. Which doesn’t seem relevant to anything in the article.


It was probably the off-topicness of bringing up the decisions of dog owners in a city in Texas on an article about the population of dogs in Antarctica which attracted the downvotes.


Cynomania perhaps?
