“In the Amish it’s acceptable to put dogs down...shoot, shovel, and shut up.”

Another religion of peace exposed.

but when he couldn’t sell the dogs and they became “too big” he asked an employee to shoot them.

How about giving them away. Sheesh!

So are animal shelters where they euthanize the non-adopted animals illegal in New York State?

I find it so comforting that the MSM cries over animal cruelty and cheers on abortionists.

Wow, an Amish story that really is about the Amish!

My property, my decision. Piss off if anyone is against the Constitution.

This twisted society gets it's collective knickers in a knot over a few dogs but couldn't care less about 45,000,000 murdered, slaughtered and mutilated babies.

In my world, animals are animals and if I own one and want to put it down, that is my business.

But recognizing that there are so many busy bodies that want to protect every creature except human babies, I adhere to the SSS strategery.

The most important one is Shutup; don't even tell your best pal.

"In the Amish it’s acceptable"
If so, how long before Sharia Law becomes acceptable?

CowDogz.com offers a free listing to any Australian Cattle Dog, Queensland, Blue Heeler, Red Heeler or mixes that resemble an ACD.

Rescue organizations can submit their dogs for listing using the contact form. We strongly prefer groups only list dogs who are currently in foster care, but we will also consider individual dogs who are still in shelters on a case-by-case basis.

Need to find homes for your unwanted heelers? Post on Cowdogz.com.

I wonder what the Animal Shelters do, i.e. the Dog Pound or the Humane Society?

“In Michigan, a private or public shelter must hold a found animal for four days after acquiring it, after which time the animal can be adopted out or put to sleep.”

“In California, animals must be kept at a shelter for six days, not including the day on which the animal was found. [48] After that, the animal can be adopted out or euthanized.”

“Shelters in Houston, Texas must hold an animal for three days if it is unlicensed or otherwise unidentifiable. [51] If the animal is licensed, tattooed, or microchipped, it must be held for six days after the owner was notified that animal was in the shelter (notification must be made by mail or telephone). [52] On the seventh day, the shelter may dispose of the animal at its discretion. “

http://www.animallaw.info/articles/dduspetadoption.htm

“If an animal is not claimed by its owner within five days after being so delivered to such humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, or pound, such animal may at any time thereafter be placed for adoption in a suitable home or euthanized.”

http://www.nyshumane.org/manual/manualHTML/Ch7NYS/NYSLaws_25B.htm

Looks like animal shelters can, after the prescribed waiting period, either kill the animal or sell it to a research lab.

And NY is going after the farmer?

Meanwhile, police all across the land continue to kill dogs with abandon. and without getting charged. They should have said they “felt threatened” like all the officers do, even when the dogs they shoot are perfectly friendly. Then again, it’s not Amish to lie (although it might be department policy).

This is no different from what happens every day at any animal shelter.

The cold hard fact is that there are far more dogs and cats than people willing to take them.

Believe it or not, this is the way Americans used to practice "animal control". It was the accepted way when I was a child. Now we have animal control by government, which is more humane. We just use the inhumane method to "put down humans."

BTW, that is how I learned that cats can't swim very well. They have trouble getting out of the burlap bags. (just kidding, life was different in my day. I still think that old joke is funny).

I'm still trying to figure out why the police were called.

Maybe in their rural area they couldn't give them away either?

Too many dogs and cats in this country any ways. Kittens are great until they grow up, get loose, go feral, have tons of kittens, and wipe out every bird, rabbit, etc in the area. I hate them.

Dogs are the same way. Except that the dogs pack up and then - they.come.after.you.

No sympathy what so ever. None. Zero. Nota. I live out in the country and having a pack of feral dogs attack you is one scary event. Been there, done that.

On my property one day and had a pack of dogs come at me. They know exactly how to hunt from instinct. Circled me. The pack leader was a large Lab. He stood in front of me and "GRUFF'd" in order to keep my attention while the others tried to come at me from behind. Sends chills up my spine just remembering it. If I hadn't had that garden hoe in my hands at the time, I tell you what...

Put them down instead of turning them loose. Absolutely. Amen to that!!!


And for dog catcher I have a write in candidate; Remington 870

Sorry if I was a little vague in how I really feel...

I once put down a dog who had cancer for a neighbor, and I had to put down my own cat when he got so sick he had what seemed a complete mental breakdown. This was back in the days when I could still own guns and in both cases I wrapped them in blankets and petted them and waited until they were asleep.

I raised that cat from a kitten when I found him out in the snow one winter, he’s been gone quite a few years and I still can’t think about another pet of my own. But it seems all the stray cats and other people’s dogs have figured out I’m the local “free rubs” station.

I’m confused.

If they had eaten the dogs, would it have been OK?

‘Cause most farmers kill perfectly good pigs, cows, chickens, etc.

The only difference I can see is that those animals sometimes get eaten, while in this case, the dogs became valuable compost.

I love dogs, but there are plenty of livestock animals who can be just as intelligent and affectionate as a dog.

The cops would be happy to come over and shoot them.
