Wrong discussion. The “other poster” he referred to said THIS:
“Any man who shoots a dog is a coward.. Period.”
A stupid, glib statement all too typical of the many people who have little true respect for The Dog; their other favorite glib statements include “Dog is God spelled backwards” and “Dogs just so unconditionally love us”. Those along with the above ignore that dogs do in fact kill people intentionally (and not just because they “were brought up badly”); there are 2 sides. Respecting a dog, like a wild tiger, includes recognizing all it’s capable of, good or bad.
I would put it otherwise (”Unnecessarily and unlawfully shooting a dog should not be tolerated”).
