Well yeah it is apples and oranges because dogs are property, nothing more. It's like getting a year and half of hard time for getting angry and breaking a window in my own house.

If you really believe that, then I cannot continue this discussion, because I believe a dog's life is worth more than a broken window...that's the type of argument that people used to justify beating their wives and children, too. Pets are more than property, even if you cannot and should not elevate their lives to equal that of humans.
I can't even agree to disagree...I cannot abide your statements.
Now you go back to comparing apples and oranges yourself. Only humans have rights, so you can't use beating dogs and breaking windows as justification for any actions against humans. I bet any psychologist will tell you that a man with a temper who breaks windows or stick his fist through walls is much more likely to beat his wife, than one who doesn't. So then perhaps breaking a window is a pre-crime worth 18 months in jail too. Hmmm? Keep the psychobabble out of the execution of justice.
