"This isn't about a mass execution of dogs," Nemitz said. "It's meant to put pressure on people who don't cooperate." Kind of 'pressure' like the Mafia uses... only, being Swiss, I'm sure after they plug your pooch, they'll wash the sidewalk of any blood.

Wasn't there a story on here a while back about a town that kept an old guy in jail for three days so the pound would gas his dog before he could claim it?
