I don’t think it’s right than an animal shelter can kill the dogs but a private citizen can’t.

Just off the top of my head...

The animal shelter uses a drug that is supposed to kill the dog peacefully.

The animal shelter isn't going to potentially miss or just wound the pet the first time.

The animal shelter isn't killing the dogs in front of family members.

The animal shelter is authorized by law to it, after presumably getting proper training.

With all due respect, your comment is foolish. You might as well say "I don't think it's right that a doctor can perform surgery, but a private citizen can't" or "I don't think it's right that President Bush can invade Iraq but a private citizen can't."

Try and develop a little perspective in your life.

I really don’t think your analogies pertain to this situation. I SAID I don’t think torture should be allowed.

The animal shelter uses a drug that is supposed to kill the dog peacefully. - well, a bullet to the head is quick and painless

The animal shelter isn’t going to potentially miss or just wound the pet the first time. - I think the odds of a shelter doing euthanasia wrong are about the same. It is hard to miss when you have a gun right up to a head. Sure, it could misfire, but at the shelter a needle could break or a machine could malfunction.

The animal shelter isn’t killing the dogs in front of family members. - I don’t think the Amish did that, either, nor do they advocate it.

The animal shelter is authorized by law to it, after presumably getting proper training. - I think this is bogus, you don’t need to be trained how to shoot a dog in the head.

I have a perfectly good perspective on life. Dogs are not people.
