Or the hassle of being sued, which is what we were talking about. You would rather kill a dog than be sued.
Maybe you should not be allowed to own a dog.
And who put those dogs in shelters, animal control?
I value a human’s life over a dog’s, every time. Lawsuits have nothing to do with it. If you think killing a dangerous dog is so horrible, then what would your solution be? Would euthanasia be an option if the dog had killed someone, or would you prefer it continue to live out its “happy” existence? Just because it’s not capable of thinking morally, that doesn’t make its actions acceptable. I don’t consider euthanasia a punishment for the animal. I think it’s a hard choice to make, but a necessary one.
