Oh noes!!! The children might actually see real life! Quickly, you must wrap them back up in that cotton wool blanket.

Trauma? Give me a ****ing break, we had a school trip in the 2nd year of Junior school where we watched ickle baby lambs getting slaughtered. Guess what? Not a single kid in the class was traumatised by it!

Theres real life then there's inhumane killing.
Seeing an animal that is bread for food getting slaughtered the proper way for a purpose is a little different to seeing a random guy strangle his pet, something a lot of children can relate to.

The guy did right, just not the right way.

I agree. However, with the way children are brought up these days, it probably is. :o

That's what I mean, we're raising a generation of mollycoddled pansies and none of these idiotic 'social engineering' types can see it. Then again, that's probably down to the fact that their heads are firmly jammed up their own arses.

You watch, give it a few years and 'real men' will be outlawed and testosterone levels will be strictly controlled in utero!

You'd rather strangle your dog, than let the vets do it humanely?

I'd say he's either been a keyboard warrior, lacks empathy, or due to the time the post was submitted he'd had a few too many and was talking crap.

So, what's the big problem? His dog attacked a child and he put it down. I fail to see the problem here, after all it's only a dog, a dumb animal, and not the child he's killing.

Yeah a dumb animal that will have loved it's owner and looked at him as his whole world. The last thought going through that poor dogs mind will have been he is being harmed by the person he looks to and loves more than anything. Dogs act on instinct, it didn't hurt the child to be 'evil' dogs don't have the mental capacity to think like that, so why be so vindictive? Why not take it down the vet and let it pass on peacefully surrounded by the pople who love it.

So you assert that a dog is capable of the complexities of love, is capable of understanding and entertaining a train of thought that it is being harmed by the subject of that expressed love, and then you go on to say "it didn't hurt the child to be 'evil' dogs don't have the mental capacity to think like that,"

Seems a little contradictory to me.

Thank you. I do aim for these targets, but it's rare that I ever achieve them. I can now sleep soundly tonight, safe in the knowledge that I am not just a moron, but the "BIGGEST" moron!

No really, seems perfectly simple to me. Would you not think that as the dog is being strangeld to death it wouldn't be feeling pain and that pain would be caused by the person it loved the most hans wrapped around it's throat.

It's comon knowledge that dogs do feel a wide range of emotions from love & happiness and sadness, in fact recently it's been surmised that they feel a wider range on emotions that previously thought.

But evil is not an emotion, and thinking & carrying out "Evil" actions would have to be deceided upon by an intelligence dogs do not have.

I wouldn't have you down as having the intellectual capacity to plan ahead, or the determination to achieve such aims, but rather you've achieved such lofty hights by sheer dumb luck and idiocy.

But I stand corrected.

Surly if you wish to argue along those lines then you must accept according to your own logic that the dog is capable of hatred and ergo has the capacity to do evil based on emotion.

I appears that you understand the thought processes of a dog better than your own contradictory statements.
 
I was out jogging yesterday and was appraoched by a staffie growling luckily it reacted to it's owners calls (eventually) but it did give me a fright.

Obviously the owners think that this is acceptable as they made no attempt to put a lead on the dog and we saw it again menacing joggers behind us.

However I think it's horrible what that owner did.

It's just about responsiblity if your dog doesn't like other dogs or people then keep it on a lead and go for a jog to exercise it.

The dog deserved to be killed, and so does the person who killed the dog. Murderers.

Got to love the sheer idiocy of advocating the killing of a man for putting down a violent animal. Oh well, it seems that my reign as biggest moron didn't last that long.
 
Most of the time the reason why dogs are aggressive is because of their owners. If dog owners are not responsible and do not train their dogs from a very young age then they should be held responsible for it's actions.

In this case It's the owners fault. If that dog was brought up by a responsible owner I'm sure it would never be aggressive. He clearly didn't care about it because if he did he wouldn't have strangled it to death.
 
I go into 4 new tenanted houses a day, many of which have Staffies and other breeds, I can count the number of dogs I am uneasy with on one hand, and I must have seen thousands.
A dog is a potential weapon, you wouldn't leave a loaded gun around for a child to play with and therefore caution must always be taken when children and animals are together.
For the most part most dogs are great but nothing (people included) is 100% predictable 100% of the time. Common sense must prevail.
I am all in favour of bringing back the dog licence combined with an identity chip.
Would Dalmations qualify for a cheap black and white licence I wonder?
 
People are blaming the dog owner for mistreating the dog, saying he must be mental etc. Is it not possible that actually they're a perfectly normal and nice person, and the act of the dog attacking the kid was so unexpected and far from it's normal behaviour/personality that they simply acted out of shock and panic?

I'm not condoning his actions, but imagine how you would feel if your loving and friendly dog suddenly and unexpectedly mauled a child (It's quite probably that it happened so fast the guy wouldn't have known how serious it was - it's quite feasible that the dog could have actually killed the boy)

That is 'anthropomorphism'.
Common knowledge, like received wisdom, is not always true!
