hmmmmm..
You definitely ARE a 2nd class citizen, just like your friend "definitelynotlikeable"
Pathetic that any of you could condone killing an innocent animal. Animals that attack humans or kill other animals should be compassionately euthanized. Otherwise, what are they guilty of?
There's some really concerning hatred rearing its head on this thread.
My wife was seriously threatened by three pit bulls owned up the street by a very threatening owner. She had one of my children in her arms and the other in the baby carriage.
The other pit bull owner had two of them tied up in the Yard. Eventually the really violent pit bull was put to sleep.
Both of these pit bull owners testified at the Animal Control hearings about the inherent friendliness of their dogs. It took multiple violent incidents with various neighbors to force one to build a fence and keep it locked and to euthanize the other owner's dogs.
During this lengthy period of time at least two years for each different owner, there were children (and adults) in the neighborhood who were in physical danger.
As I said in the beginning of my post, I do not condone the theoretical points I raised, and definitely would not want a person to use a firearm.
I should have been more explicit in my theoretical points, they would only apply to a dog who had exhibited dangerous tendencies.
Currently there is a pit bull owner up the street who treats his dogs very well. They exhibit no dangerous tendencies. The other two pit bull owners were the pits and not only mistreated their dogs, but exhibited hostility to most people.
PS, I am not saying that you are likeable or unlikeable. Nor am I making any other judgements concerning you.
This is the kind of crap that gives the left reason to call us conservatives "hateful", "selfish", and "mean-spirited".
And we willingly buy their bullets for them.
Animals that attack humans or kill other animals should be compassionately euthanized. Otherwise, what are they guilty of? .......Guilty of being an animal, reverting to the laws of the animal kingdom. No matter how much I love our animals if I ever thought one of them could endanger a human life or do grave physical harm, I would have no reservations in puting that animal down, period, with whatever I had available at the time. About an hour ago I had a confrontation with my Jack Russel that had just pissed in the house. He has always considered me the alpha dog so to speak but he got in my face but finaly retreated. This dog is real close to family members but I would have no, none, reservations about puting him down if I ever thought he lost his fear of me. And if you don't think a 15 pound dog can't hurt someone, you better think again.
