Were you defending Michael Vick when he killed dogs - yes or no? Because this excuse is no different than the excuses made by the black community saying it was part of “the culture”.

I said basically the same thing. Its a dog, its their property they can dispose of it as they see fit - within reason. A quick, clean death from a gun shot is fine in my book.

People losing their minds are the ones who think dogs are part people or something. Some of the them are the same ones who would gladly round up every pit bull and kill them...

exactly. And no one, farmer or not, enjoys being burdened with the task of putting a dog (or any other animal) down. They do it because it because they aren't an irrational basket of emotions and can understand the reasons.

The people that think dogs are some amazing special animal that should treated as some holy thing are delusional.

I like my catahoula because she kills rodents around my place. She loves nothing more than snatching a rat or chipmunk and shaking to death. Then hopefully its not quite dead so she can pick it up again and shake the remaining shred of life out of it.

Dogs are animals. They do animal things. Look at the lifecycle of a wolf or coyote pack. They are not only ruthless to other animals, but to members within their own pack. They are only nice to each other if it gains them something.

My sister had two of her "furbabies" kill a mid-sized stray dog that happened to wander into their yard a few weeks ago. Killed it "for fun". Talk about a reality check.
