seriously, why even engage this idiot?
This! Hell yeah.
Really, it's just a dog. I would like to think that my opinion on such a small matter wouldn't be the deciding factor as to my intelectual capabilities. If my apathy for the life of a dog makes me an idiot, I wonder what my apathy for the life of a human would make me.
Really guys, I know that there is an "emotional" attachment that some of you have towards dogs. I've even felt a twinge of that in the past, but it's just an animal. No different than a prarie dog (that many of us kill for no reason other than fun), or a pig, or a cow or any other of God's four legged creatures.
I could undertand labeling me as an "idiot" if I was a first time poster that just joined a week ago and started babeling about my liberal tree huging ways, but really? It's a dog, I suppose I fail to understand thier value.
It comes down to a VERY simple formula: Human > Animal
So a human with some sort of massive emotional trauma and a drug adiction can be just as desperate, but you and I wouldn't bother to cut one down with lead if he/she became a threat to another man, so why does the dog get special treatment? Rethink that.
I'm not going to call you names because we disagree. I will try to explain why a dog, to me, isn't "just a dog".
Every dog I've had has provided me companionship that most people can't or won't. My dogs were always happy to lay in my lap or go on a great "adventure" at a moment's notice. They don't judge. They don't hold grudges. They generally want only the most basic of things that I'm able to provide. They don't care what I look like, what my political views are, what kind of car I drive, how much money I make. Their love isn't tied to any conditions other than I don't hurt them.
They are not the same as a prairie dog or a deer or any other animal...at least a non-domesticated animal. If I have to explain why, well...just think about it.
It's really a shame you feel the way you do about dogs. Not so much for the dog, but for you. You're missing out on one of the most wonderful things this world has to offer.
I know all that sounds very cliche but dog people will get it.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?
"Stop Resisting Arrest!"
Psychopath?
Joking. My wife feels very much the same way about animals due to her upbringing, as a child they moved frequently and she never developed any attachment to their short-term pets. Now that she has been around my dogs for years they are like children to her and she couldn't imagine harming such loving, dedicated creatures.
I've put down my share of dogs over the years, the last a 6yo female Rottweiler that cornered my brother, the dog didn't bite but was unbalanced and a danger so I put a .38 in her head. She had been abused before I got her and IMO it's important you look at WHY the dog felt the need to bite. Sort of like a cop kneeling on the back of your neck screaming "stop resisting!". If it friggin' hurts I'm going to react and so would a dog or any creature; it's called "self preservation".
With Bailey Guns on this one; I like most dogs better than I like most people.
my dog is great till the feet and then look out !! i have found that a lot of dogs hate to have their paws messed with .
That's how my bloodhound is. I think his nails we clipped to short when he was getting detailed at petsmart. 140 pounds is a lot of upset dog to handle, thankfully he just runs off and never bites.
Ahhh-now I understand my mood swings better
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
