The final fallback for these "animal lovers" is to say "let the authorities handle it". As you so correctly point out the authorities do nothing.

Makes me wonder how many of these animal lovers claim to be libertarians.

Pets are animals. They are not human beings.

They need to be treated like animals, and that includes being trained and controlled.

If they aren't, then they have no business whining when the consequences come due.

Dogs reflect their inherent nature.

I never met a lab who didn’t love water and people and to chase and catch things.

I never met a Border Collie who didn’t herd by instinct and run endlessly.

I never met a Husky who didn’t love cold weather and to pull things.

And the list goes on.

Any dog bred to fight as Pit Bulls have been, have it in them and training and a proper upbringing are no guarantees that that nature has been dealt with.

I never saw those other instinctive behaviors trained out of those other breeds. I don’t believe that aggression can be trained out of a dog either.

Wonderful examples!

Let the hyper sensitive "animal lovers" misrepresent what is said and deny the truth. Rational people see the truth.

Wow..and scripture on your homepage

You have a bad dog....give it to a rural no kids home...

Or dose it on benadryl and dramamine then when knocked out shoot it in the head up a bit and behind the ear penetrating the horizontal cerebral mass likely to result in instant death..22 mag minimum

That is not for everyone obviously but in remote areas its the only option

Not every vet will put a pet down....just cause owner wants...not today

Poison is for cowards.... always has been

“Rational people see the truth.”

Well.

That explains your major malfunction, here.

Had you been paying historical attention, most of us decrying this act of cowardice are the ones who routinely warn everyone that dogs are dogs, regardless of breed and will “behave as dogs”, occasionally.

It’s not an issue of difference, only of degree.

A pack of untrained, undisciplined toy poodles is still a pack, capable of inflicting grievous injury.

Every single act of dogs behaving badly has only one root cause; stupid/lazy/ignorant/abusive owners.

We’re the higher life form charged with stewardship over all the beasts.

When our beasts cause harm, it’s because *we* failed, somehow.

“Real animal lovers” all know this and are not deluded by the artificial construct of “breed”.

All dogs are dogs.

All dogs have teeth.

All dogs can be dangerous.

All dogs can kill.

Anyone calculating either the possibility of danger or the likelihood of safety by size or breed is ignorant and naïve, in the extreme.

I know someone who has a pack of non-swimming, non-retrieving Labs who are a menace to anyone who gets of their car.

The only dog that ever bit me was a non-herding Border Collie.

The “breed” inclines, it does not compel.

Rational people understand these truths.

We have now and have always had, a disturbing segment of FReepers who openly advocated and even bragged about poisoning dogs.

Some got TOSed.
Some died.
Others yet remain.

This place could use a good cleaning.

We had two puppies a long time ago in a fenced in yard. Some neighbor children poisoned them. One died. The other did not. It was horrible to watch that dog die. They were mutts with no pit bull in them. And they were only three or four months old.

I have the biggest UV LED flashlight you’ve ever seen, thanks to the psychotic neighbor who likes antifreeze peoples’ pets.

If my security cams pick up any hint that he’s been near my fence line, I go out and scan the perimeter for residue.

So far, so good.

My condolences on your terrible loss.

Wmfights, is there a reason you keep typing “animal lovers” in quotation marks? Do you think there’s something wrong with being an animal lover?

I’ve been one all my life and I’m certainly not ashamed of it.
