According to the hippified Antiyuppie, ranchers and farmers must be awful people because they kill animals, and hunters must be the scum of all scum. That thinking is foolishness.
It is not a cause for celebration that some police mutt was shot, but it is not anywhere near “Murder” as another hippy poster pontificated. Dogs are not of the same value as humans
If departments put in even minimal effort into training their mutts to reduce the strength of their bite on a non resisting subject their might conceivably be more sympathy when departments lose a mere animal. But law enforcement doesn't put that training in, and too often the critters zero in on an innocent party.
So in a way you are right. I shouldn't have compared the loss of the mutt to the loss of a police cruiser. I should have compared the loss of the dog to the loss of an unreliable rebuilt police cruiser.
I believe that ranchers and farmers have a great deal of respect for life. They have a much closer view of life and death than most of us. I am aware, but only vaguely, where my beef slices come from.
And, OK, I give up - where, exactly, did the dog bite you when you were arrested?
Dogs know people with a very good track record.
If you see a loose dog you should run (or shoot), 'cause they likely have your number.
hey, why don’t you go face to face with a combat soldier who has had their lives saved by a a “dog”..and tell them your arrogant, self-righteous,” intellectual” snide comments..instead of on the internet safe from your sofa.
Oh, you are so correct, like the Pharasees who spouted the law, but did not have compassion in their hearts.
go ahead, flame away...you’ve got all the words, all the correct arguments.
