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.
Why do you keep trying to say the dog is unhappy. And how is killing something not a punishment?
And no, I dont think euthanasia is viable. For all the dog knew, it was protecting its owner.
Why not just kill the owner. After all, you act like the dog is property. And if someone uses their property to kill, we dont destroy the property, we destroy the owner.
And yes, lawsuits have something to do with it. You said you would put the dog down to avoid liability. Killing something to escape your own problems, kind of sounds like the excuse abortionists make.
I told you my solution, jail the owner. I would rather the dog die on its own in the woods, where it had a chance, than be put to death by some righteous holier than thou type.
