Reply #8: You're right, it's pure vindictiveness

If the guy was a danger to other people's pets, I could see it, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Someone was out to hurt him.

I'm a little bothered by how he did it. Sounds traumatic. But I'm more bothered by the government ordering him to put his dog to sleep and putting him in a situation like that. You said it was a small dog? Small dogs bite more often, but they aren't much of a threat when they do. The real crime to me seems to be the government, and the people who whined about being bitten by a small dog. I've taught my kids that if they get bitten, it's their fault, usually, and they should learn to behave better around dogs, and learn when to stay away from certain ones.

Cows are killed more violently to make hamburgers and steaks and leather accessories, so most people are more abusive to animals three times a day, anyway, even if they pay someone else to do the dirty work.

For the record, I'm an animal rights nut and a vegetarian.
