Coldwater, you’re misquoting a conversation I had in a different thread. The topic in that thread was that dogs should not be so elevated as to be nearly comparable before the law as humans.
There was a case where a person threw a dog from a moving car and received a three year prison sentence yet any pregnant woman can legally stick a fork in a baby’s head. What gives? This is a sign of moral decay.
I like furry critters just as much as the next guy but I also disagreed with Michael Vick going to jail for mistreating his own private property. A more appropriate punishment would be to donate $250,000 to a homeless shelter or some charity run by a local church.
Here is what I said: BW believes that it is ok for him to whack your dog as long as he pays the medical bills.
Here is the exact quote: There should be no real penalty for kicking a dog except medical bills paid to the owner of the dog and ONLY if the kick required vet care for the pooch.
