No, dogs are domesticated. They are companion animals. This guy and his helpers are scum.
The truth is, the same people that rant about the dogs demise, won't ever go to the pound to get one. If it doesn't have papers and cost $300, they ain't interested. Millions of babies scream and writhe in agony as they are dismembered, but there is no punishment for their murders.
If you've never butchered your dinner, you can't fathom the difference between an animal and a human. I don't want animals to suffer, but that's a far cry from what we allow to happen to humans.
BTW, THis is why the Bible says we have dominion OVER the animals. They don't have souls, contrary to what the PC crowd thinks. There is no evidence that animals go to heaven or hell. We have many posters here that talk of being with their animals in heaven. Jesus is the reason for heaven, not Fido. Animals are here to serve us, not the other way around. I don't revel in an animals pain, but I know the difference between animals and human.
"(I remember after the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Feds and the State of Alaska and the NGOs air lifted deer who had eaten "contaminated" seaweed. These several DEERS were given the best care, and nurtured back to health then air lifted again back to be released.
None of this was FREE. It took money from our budgets, lots of money.
In the same exact time frame a street person froze to death on a grate in downtown Anchortown. No worries, he was just a street drunk afterall."
I think there is an important difference here. The deer had no choice about food and it wasn't their fault that oil was spilled, contaminating everything in site and ruining their habitat. It was a man made disaster.
The street person who froze to death made his choices. He didn't have to be a drunk, do drugs, refuse to work for a living or live on the streets.
God made humans with a thinking, reasoning brain. The animals can't reason. Any reasonable person wouldn't take a cageful of dogs and toss them into a sewer plants water.
I can list a million things that are cruel and inhumane but that doesn't mean we shouldn't fight it when we see it. I don't agree with abortion but just because it exists doesn't mean that drowning dogs is ok, that's a small child's reasoning.
"Would you crucify this fool over these dogs with the unspeakable acts people do to people every frikkin day as background? As perhaps "perspective"?"
As with anything... You have to draw the line somewhere. You just want to draw the line in a different place. The majority rules most of the time and this is a good case in point.
The person is an idiot and if the little city doesn't have the funds to follow the law on this count then where do they draw the line?
Maybe they shouldn't put up stop signs around town because it's too hard to dig the hole for the post and if a person gets killed in the process then so be it. In this case it may clean the gene pool.
