Why do animal farts smell worse then human farts?

[Rainbow Mage]

I know this is funny, but it's also a good question. Why exactly do animal farts smell so bad? Like my cat farts and it lingers for like ten minutes. In high school my teacher's dog farted and it smelt so bad everyone ran far away.

Depends on the Animal and diet,when my Horse farted for example it didn't smell much but when my Dogs fart they exit the room in a hurry along with everyone else so meat eating Animals tend to be the worse.

My dog can release some real eye-melters, but then so can I. I agree with England above: meat-eaters tend to have worse smelling ones, but us veggies tend to do it more frequently (!).

Horse and Cow farts are prodigious but actually quite warm and homely.

Dogs and cats think our farts smell absolutely awful. When we're gone, they get on our computers and go to their own forums and pose questions like "My human's farts smell ABSOLUTELY PUTRID! What causes this and what do you suggest I do when they cut loose with one in front of me? I've tried tripping them on the stairs and chewing the crotches out of their underwear they leave on the floor, but so far I haven't been able to get them to understand that their farts are KILLING me!"

Diet. More meat = nastier smell.
I notice that rotting flesh, blood and bones tend to smell worse than rotting veges too. Interesting.

Luckily I only have a pet bird and he doesn't fart. However, he did sneeze on my face today

And they plan them too! They wait till they're nice n close and your not expecting it. I love it when I have a dog on the grooming table and it lets me know how much fun it's having with a silent but deadly.

lol that is so true! My dog would actually walk over to me and let one loose. I swear they know how nasty their farts are and they just love "blessing" you with it's presence.
