It would depend on how long it took you to hunt him down. If it was longer than seeming impulsive, I would vote to convict. However heinous this moster's act was, human life is worth more than a dog's life.

It depends on the dog and the human.

Not all humans are human, any more than all cultures are equal. That is crap libs in college tried to shove down my throat, and it doesn't wash.

It is my right to make value judgments, and telling me otherwise is a value judgment that places the teller's values above mine, a contradiction of his own hypothesis.

I hold the human to a higher standard, since it can supposedly reason and premeditate; and is not dependent on on a devoted owner for its care & protection.

OTOH, IF it isn't my animal; and IF I didn't actually witness it, and act immediately, then let law enforcement handle it.

It depends on the human, and it depends on the dog.
