[Recovering Hermit]

When I returned I found that the beagle had killed all my friends chickens. Feathers and body parts everywhere.

Beagles are killers...just looking for the right opportunity to kill something.

Nice try...a chicken, a rabbit, a pheasant...quite a bit different than another dog or a human.

Or do you excuse your dogs from differentiating?

You spoke of a cat. I spoke of chickens.
My point was to the dangers of arguing from the specific to the general.

My dog apparently has greater powers of differentiating than some posters.
