WHY THE F#:K IS IT...

Few pages of this and I am disappointed noone posted 'Meanwhile in China, Dog Meat Festival is commencing...'

And, BTW. My "stupid animal" is a member of my family. If someone attacked my dog or harmed my dog for an unprovoked reason my response would be quite swift. Not unlike if the same person attacked my wife.

Yup, I've had my little 12lb guy for 15 of his 18 years. He's tried to protect me many times, there'll be no hesitation if I need to protect him from anyone or anything.

You might feel that way about your dog, but I'm pretty sure the law doesn't feel the same way. Hell, in Colorado you can't even shoot a bear, lion or even a coyote if it attacks your dog, let alone a person who might hurt your dog.

But guess what, you CAN shoot another animal that attacks your livestock. That gives a pretty good indication regarding where dogs fall on the law's priority list.

And I like dogs. I love mine. But she doesn't go to the store with me. And if someone hurts her, I won't be responding as if I was defending a human life, because it's illegal and not equal.

PS - I don' t know what the law is in other states.

Don't go bringing facts and logic into this...

Most of the people in here that are talking about shooting people that would harm their dog are likely the same people that would talk about shooting someone that is stealing their "x" (I see it in the diesel truck world, motorcycle world, etc), which is also illegal and will get the shooter jail time.

I love animals, but I grew up on a farm, so I have a very pragmatic view of them. They are not people, they are not part of your family (ie equivalent of a human), and they are NOT worth going to jail over.
