“In the Amish it’s acceptable to put dogs down...shoot, shovel, and shut up.”

Another religion of peace exposed.

but when he couldn’t sell the dogs and they became “too big” he asked an employee to shoot them.

How about giving them away. Sheesh!

So are animal shelters where they euthanize the non-adopted animals illegal in New York State?

That's what a lot of the local Amish mill owners do, but not in the way you'd expect. They dump the dogs out where they know the local SPCA will find them.

I find it so comforting that the MSM cries over animal cruelty and cheers on abortionists.

Millions of animals are killed each year in “shelters”, and no one says “boo” because it is done out of sight. Take care of things without involving the government, and you are defined as “inhumane”.

Biblically, we are to care for our animals,
but we are also given dominion over creation.

There’s a balance.

I don’t think there’s a problem with killing these dogs, no different than culling unwanted sheep, etc, as long as they weren’t tortured in the process.

Wow, an Amish story that really is about the Amish!

My property, my decision. Piss off if anyone is against the Constitution.

This twisted society gets it's collective knickers in a knot over a few dogs but couldn't care less about 45,000,000 murdered, slaughtered and mutilated babies.

In my world, animals are animals and if I own one and want to put it down, that is my business.

But recognizing that there are so many busy bodies that want to protect every creature except human babies, I adhere to the SSS strategery.

The most important one is Shutup; don't even tell your best pal.

"In the Amish it’s acceptable"
If so, how long before Sharia Law becomes acceptable?

CowDogz.com offers a free listing to any Australian Cattle Dog, Queensland, Blue Heeler, Red Heeler or mixes that resemble an ACD.

Rescue organizations can submit their dogs for listing using the contact form. We strongly prefer groups only list dogs who are currently in foster care, but we will also consider individual dogs who are still in shelters on a case-by-case basis.

Need to find homes for your unwanted heelers? Post on Cowdogz.com.

Seems to me we need a non-arbitrary standard to judge why Sharia Law is unacceptable and Amish morals are acceptable.

Oh, wait, we have that.

I wonder what the Animal Shelters do, i.e. the Dog Pound or the Humane Society?

“In Michigan, a private or public shelter must hold a found animal for four days after acquiring it, after which time the animal can be adopted out or put to sleep.”

“In California, animals must be kept at a shelter for six days, not including the day on which the animal was found. [48] After that, the animal can be adopted out or euthanized.”

“Shelters in Houston, Texas must hold an animal for three days if it is unlicensed or otherwise unidentifiable. [51] If the animal is licensed, tattooed, or microchipped, it must be held for six days after the owner was notified that animal was in the shelter (notification must be made by mail or telephone). [52] On the seventh day, the shelter may dispose of the animal at its discretion. “

http://www.animallaw.info/articles/dduspetadoption.htm

“If an animal is not claimed by its owner within five days after being so delivered to such humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, or pound, such animal may at any time thereafter be placed for adoption in a suitable home or euthanized.”

http://www.nyshumane.org/manual/manualHTML/Ch7NYS/NYSLaws_25B.htm

Looks like animal shelters can, after the prescribed waiting period, either kill the animal or sell it to a research lab.

And NY is going after the farmer?

We have Indian Villages all over Alaska. Wife and I taught at this one village (common practice everywhere though) that they never spayed the dogs and the dogs continuously had litter after litter. When the puppies were about 4 months, they were all killed just in time for another litter it seemed. When I asked the Indians why they didn't just spay the females; they answered "What would the kids play with then?" Indians saw the purpose of puppies on this earth was to amuse the kids. Perfectly normal and accepted in their world view.

Packs of dogs running around the village was to keep the bears from strolling down the village road; which was quite common come spring. I saw the dogs kill and eat each other and when I started throwing out lunch scraps to the dogs, I was told to stop. They wanted starving dogs, made good bear chasers the Indians claimed.

It all sounded different to me, but who am I to judge their way of doing things. The left should do the same.
