'Who hurt you?': Deputy editor of the San Diego Union-Tribune enters ratio hall of fame after 'dogs are parasites' hot take

Twitter, do your thing…

Chris Reed, deputy editor for the San Diego Union-Tribune, is getting ratio’d — hard! — over this hot take declaring that “dogs are parasites, not man’s best friend”:

It’s science, or something:

So is that love in your dog’s eyes — or is that the look of a con man sizing up his mark? Science says it’s the latter. Sorry, world.

Well, the “world” is speaking out against Reed and it’s not pretty:

Everybody hates everyone involved in the production of this article

It is not the dog that is the parasite… it's the human writing this article. If this was about cats i might agree. MIGHT. https://t.co/GPKN8oKZQe
