Hey, if he doesn’t have any regrets why should we
at putting him down. Some dogs NEED killing.
“Next!”
When I was ten, my father was getting in the farm jeep
and there was a dog in the back that wouldn’t move,
first he growled at my dad, then he bit him.
My father didn’t hesitate a second , he had a mattock
in his hand and he planted it right in the top of
that dogs head. I had to take him down to the low
grounds and dump him out but later my mom pitched
a fit so had to go back and cut off his head to take
to pathology.
That dog had it coming, he CROSSED THE LINE in the
social compact between dog and man, just like this
guy.
you did not have to tell that story and I recommend you refrain from repeating it to anyone if you want to preserve your dad’s facade as a decent human being.
Poor dog had probably been abused from someone equally as kind to dogs as your dad, and the dog’s fear was absolutely borne out by your dad’s crude reaction.
I know farm people view animals differently, but this story makes me think your dad was a dangerous man.
I posted something similar here, having been bitten by a dog twice when I was young how we destroyed the dogs because they could never be trusted again. I couldn’t beleive the uproar it caused here on FR. I tried to explain that HUMAN life is always superior to animal life but in many minds here, animal equal human. Surprised me.
