If someone shot my dog they’d lose their life. Period.
Dogs are not people, dogs are not equal to people, dogs are property, people are not.
How to be a dick on free republic,
1) own a big fierce dog , trash anyone who defends self defense against said dog, call your dog "family".

3)Threaten to kill anyone who would defend themselves against a dog attack.
Is your dog bigger than a Yorkie? If yes, then do you let your dog run the neighborhood? If yes, then if the dog gets shot, that’s your fault.
