That's terrible ~ I live in a low rent district so lots of dogs running loose, I hope you nor any Children get bitten .

FWIW, a nice bowl of undiluted antifreeze will take care of loose/stray dogs but it'll also kill your pets and even Children of they taste it and discover how sweet it is ~ I consider this a last resort as once an animal drinks antifreeze it had renal failure, no Vet. Doctor or medicine can possibly save it .

What the hell is wrong with you? If you're actually serious, please seek psychological attention immediately.

You have a severe misunderstanding of the situation. Like a young child misbehaving, those dogs are completely innocent. They know no better. All responsibility belongs with the owners, yet you would condemn the dogs to a painful agonizing death.

Even mentioning it shows you have a few screws loose. I'm glad you're not my neighbor.

Antifreeze wastes good meat.

I'd rather not grill if it means killing an animal that doesn't want to die. Fortunately, Beyond Meat makes some fantastic hamburgers (called the beyond burger) which grill up very nicely.

why the one sidedness?

people who get dogs nowadays only want to "aww" themselves to sleep or be coochie coo with it by dressing it up in a tux or give it some 500 dollar hair cut. Once they get bored of it, they throw it away on some remote highway.

owning dogs used to be for securing the property or aide in hunting, now its just a fashion statement.
The one-sidedness is humans saying that they are the only ones deserving of life. It's justifiable to kill in self-defense. I would kill an animal (or a human) to save someone's (or my own) life, but if there was a way to defend myself or someone else without killing, then I would do that. If a human intentionally kills another human (not by accident or in self-defense), I think the death penalty is not out of line.

Sure, why not have a dog as a loving companion, to treat nicely? Is there anything wrong with living beings enjoying each others' company and living symbiotically?

I will agree that disposing of a dog once they get bored with it is wrong. A pet is a lifetime commitment and one needs to commit to the responsibility before obtaining one.

True, owning dogs used to be for securing property or hunting. Animals have been exploited for millennia. It doesn't make it right. Animals should be seen for their intrinsic value, not just as objects that serve man.

being a lad in the southern parts of africa, the law of the bush said that if a dog has tasted human flesh - it should be put down immediately, forget one dog bite, stray pack dogs there will drag your fighting semi alive carcass to their den and finish you off.

They are not for "aww" such a cute dog - it could be provided with a loving life. - umm, no. its a wild carnivore that has tasted human blood, it will come back for more - put it (them) down was the only solution.


in the case above, if I saw a dog in my neighborhood going after human flesh, its going down in a heartbeat. Its a real moneypit for the owner of such animal as these lawsuits can really bankrupt a person specially if there is death involved due to a pet. (dog, cat, snake etc.)

A loving dog for one person does not mean its a loving dog for everyone. - it may bite a stranger. Best keep it in check and in your property.

I ask every rabbit and chicken i kill to eat if they want to die, and invariably the answer is yes.
They live a splendid life until ending up in the freezer. Warmth, food, comfort, but they always want more, and that more is conversion into delicious food.

Some asian cultures particularly enjoy dog flesh. Encourage immigration from these countries, if I named them, I'd be accused of racism! Prolly be accused anyways.

Somebody posted its the owners responsibility to 'police' their dogs, these are mostly feral dogs, -> no owners.

Years ago I was visiting kin in Idaho. Not in the city. There was a dog barking one night. I asked dont people around here complain? He said: "They never bark more than a few nights, , , , , , , , Then theres a few 'missing dog' posters".

1st line above: "legal" immigration

They are wrong. They slaughter dogs that could be in loving families and bringing joy as a family pet, and it illustrates how hypocritical it is for people in the USA to see animals like cows, pigs, and chickens as food and not dogs and cats. People in this country claim that cows, pigs, and chickens are "food animals" while dog and cats are "pets". But then some Asian countries think dogs and cats are "food animals".

People in the USA will even protest the Yulin dog market, and then they'll go eat a burger, which is total hypocrisy. India generally reveres cows as sacred, so many people in that country will not eat their flesh. But, they are one of the highest consumers of dairy products, and as a result are one of the larger exporters of beef because they send away their cows, which all get slaughtered, so they end up doing what they are trying to avoid.

Right, so if a dog barks, kill it? How nice. Maybe if people were responsible with their pets, stray animals wouldn't be a problem. Maybe people should stop buying from breeders so much and not letting their dogs have litters of puppies just because they think it's cute, so homeless animals can be taken off the streets and put into homes or centers where they can be cared for.

The hypocrisy and lack of empathy shown by the human race is astounding. It makes me ashamed to be part of it. And it hasn't only included animals! Look at how Africans were abducted and kept as slaves for hundreds of years. Look at how thousands of people were put in gas chambers during World War II because of their religion. I could go on with more examples.
