Why should you feel shame for wanting that POS dead? I agree with you -- he got what he deserved and the world is a better place now that he's gone.
People get all caught up in the argument over whether animals are equal to humans, bla bla bla, but that is not the point. The point is that any human who would deliberately hurt or frighten an animal is an evil individual, period. No excuses, no exceptions. Most animals, excluding predators, are defenseless, vulnerable creatures who are capable of feeling pain and a whole range of emotions. How anyone could want to harm them is beyond my understanding.
If you try to hurt my animals, be prepared to die. If you were that close in proximity to my animals, then you were that close in proximity to me, and if no one is watching, then who is to say that you weren't directly threatening ME and that's why you are now dead?
Ha, ha....excellent post! I would have no problem hurting someone who physically tries to harm my pet(s). But as a previous poster commented, why kill them when it is so much more satisfying to beat them to a pulp! And agree with a sweet animal having far more right to live than the innumerable less-than-human scumbags out there, killing everything in their path, human or not.
I have a red-neck neighbor who is passive aggressive. He came over one day about my cat on his (visually unappealing) lawn. So I just called her in and she came immediately. He had a look of disgust and left. She also likes to get into the bushes and trees that separate the houses. So he goes out and chops them all down. Now I have a less than pleasant view of a semi-busy street! Am just waiting for him to come back over with some wussy complaint about my beloved pet who does no harm to his overgrown and unkempt yard.....grrrrr.
No, but I could kill a pet which threatened my grandchidren.
Pit bull owners please note: I am armed.
Please note, pit bull owners are often armed too.
As for the original question, yes I would kill someone if they were trying to kill my pet and that was the only way to stop them.
Not all human life is worth more than animals. Anyone on my property trying to kill my living property is worthy of lethal force if there are no other options. I would prefer not killing them and instead permenantly disabling them instead. Buckshot to the knee at close range would do the trick.
There is something inherently wrong about using the words "living" and "property" in the same breath.
No, there isn't. My dog is registered, I am listed as her owner. Legally, she is my property, and in the state of Texas I have the right to use lethal force to protect my property.
I just went to google myself and put german shepard attacks on children, tons came up, rotts, tons came up, even breeeds you wouldn't think of came up for attacks on children. It is not only Pit Bulls, and yes i know there history, but for the pet owners of these dogs, they are merely that pets. Go to google, and put any breed of dog you can think of and look at what you will see as i just did. I know of a poodle who attacked my daugheter when she was small, a poodle mind you, and this poodle went after her and attacked her she was 4.
No, there isn't. My dog is registered, I am listed as her owner. Legally, she is my property, and in the state of Texas I have the right to use lethal force to protect my property.
I understand that--there still seems to be something wrong with the concept of "owning" sentient life. How would you like to be someone's "pet"--to be owned by someone? That's what I mean.
I can think of five human lives that are worth more than my dogs'.
And the dogs are part of my family. I'd go to town on anyone who threatened immediate physical harm to any of my family.
