Cat attacks villagers.....isn't put down

It’s a cat thing, we had are cat for 19yrs and still had some life in the big guy yet until the neighbors dog tried to pull his leg off, subsequently the cat was put down and the dog was left to kill again, as it was a cat it attacked the Police/MSPCA couldn’t do anything, the other thing was the dog was rehomed twice for been snappy around kids and the 13yr old girl walking it just screamed and let the thing go for are cat.. muppets!
Animals shouldn't be put down full stop. Owners are at fault.
Also dogs drool, cats rule. That is why the cat lives.
Finally, the cat is so terrifying they can protect themselves with a 99p water pistol?!?!? This is more about trying to moan the owner out of the neighbourhood than anything else. They probably can get the cat put down but no one wants that on their conscience because at worst the cat is merely a nuisance.

It's a straw man because someone is misrepresenting his position by taking it completely out of context, clearly he was not including children in his statement. He was referring to pets allowed to roam around in public places.

I think most people know of it, just like most people know when you microwave a cat bad things happen. It is however a bit retarded to mention it because clearly there are ***** out there with a sanity bypass who will go out and do it. Therefore making such helpful suggestions isn't a good idea.
The problem is ***** tend not to think through their actions, or understand what counts as daft. What is "funny" on the Internet is not so funny in real life. If I posted a list of 10 "funny" things to do with a shotgun, chances are I'd have an angry American mother shouting at me before the weekend.
So, let's just not mention your little suggestion again
"A bite is a bite" completely overrides that.
The context was that all bites are equal, it's not a straw man.
When cat bites can inflict damage like in the following link then you have a point!
Otherwise it's very silly to say a 'bite is a bite'

If in doubt, speculate!
A bull mastiff (probably a good 8 stone) tried to bite me once, I was knelt down in front of it, it caught my lip and my nose but just nicked them both. I'd somehow pulled back quickly enough. It was my fault and I didn't do anything about it, I was staring straight into it's eyes while I was playing with it. That's fine with my dogs, and I just didn't like that it could be a problem with a slightly more aggressive dog xD
P.S I'm not saying if a dog bites it shouldn't be put down, I'm saying that sometimes it's user error when dealing with a wild animal.
P.P.S I definitely don't think a little cat attack should require permadeath, but if it was to cause someone permanent damage (I think those scars on the old man's arm is from the surgery) then who knows.

You obviously never met my ex.
Do you recall the breed of your neighbour's dog? I was just chatting with a friend about dogs doing this without prior aggression, although anecdotal I am curious to hear of what breeds are responsible for such attacks.

Your own attitude Is pretty disgusting. Putting your own dog down If it even snapped at somebody? Obviously don't care for him much.
The severity of the injury is fairly irrelevant - the reason dogs are destroyed (rightly so) when they attack someone is because of the potential to kill or maim someone (a child, for example). I've never heard of a cat killing or maiming someone, hence why they (again rightly so) aren't destroyed if they "attack" people.
That was clearly not his intention, stop being obtuse.
How is biting someone so they have to go to hospital for stitches and antibiotics to stop them dying of infection not maiming them?
