i find it disgusting that  a dog be put down for biting a person. Men nowadays can rape a woman and get off without a slap on the hand, but if a dog is being taunted and abused it is punished for defending itself.\n\nI also find it disgusting that a dog can be socialized to be violent, and then be put down because it cannot be 'rehabilitated.' Shouldn't we put as much effort into resocializing the animal? For God's sake, it's not it's fault it was traumatized and forced into this state of mind. We punish a creature for being punished from birth. It's hypocritical and downright evil.\n\nTo the person who spoke about rabies: if a person is bitten, they automatically can choose to take the medical procedures necessary to prevent/cure rabiesm, and insurance WILL cover it. All they have to say is "possible exposure."  A veterinarian can monitor the animal and see if there is any degeneration in the animal as well. \n\nDon't go near the animal if it's growling at you. If you do, you're at fault.\n\nFor God's sake, don't kill something because it pissed you off. If you provoke a creature, don't think you're immortal. You damn well deserve a bite.\n\nAnd btw, I have been chased by dogs trying to bite me. I've been very afraid, and I still wouldn't want them put down for doing it. I'd rather have them taken away from a bad situation and resocialized, and treated humanely.

Humans ARE animals. We are a mammalian species of bipedal primates called "homo sapiens."\n\nMany people believe humans are separate from animals because of our superior intelligence, but I think intelligence is just a trait that every animal has, some more than others. Cheetahs and peregrine falcons are superior in speed, elephants and Kodiak bears are superior in strength, and squirrels and jaguars are superior in agility, for a few other examples of superiority. Just because we are capable of more things than other animals intellectually does not make us something foreign to the Animal Kingdom.

Because people are realizing that animals are made out of MEAT. And meat tastes good. The more innocent the animal, the better they taste, too.

Modern Americans have been conditioned that hunting and hunters are "bad" and that wild animals would be happy if just left alone. \n\nWhether or not this is an intentional conspiracy or not remains to be debated, but the fact that it's true is unarguable. \n\nThe truth is, animals are neither "happy" or "sad" and their harvesting by humans in the wild is part of NATURE that has been going on for millions of years. \n\nOne facet of this conditioning that fascinates the heck out of me is "anthropomorphism", that is, assigning human traits and characteristics to animals. It causes kids to grow up with a false and distorted view of animals and then to take ridiculous position like being "anti-hunter" and to joining terror groups like PETA.

Stop being hypocrites. We do the exact same to other naimals just as intelligent as dogs. But because they aren't so 'cute', it's not something that really bothers us. You mention the suffering of dogs, but don't forget the cruel treatment of countless other animals.\n\nI agree that it is wrong, but it's not only dogs we should be concerned about.

You should be sorry for eating meat, that shows you don't show respect for animals.

You can't prevent animal cruelty. Just like you can't prevent people from doing anything else. If people are going to be ***holes enough to be cruel to animals then they're going to do it regardless of what you try to do to prevent it.

Yea me to.  I guess because there helpless little creatures and people have a tendency to be mean.  You get to thinking they deserve it.  But cows don't shoot people or cut off their testicals.\nDeer don't shoot people they just try to run away.l\nWoW  I killed him before he could get away.  What! so that makes you a man?  You killed bambi with a high powered riffle and now your a man?  WoW  I'm impressed.  See I didn't say Butt head.  I'm getting better.

Most people and animals are creatures of habit.

Because theyre not dangerous as long as no RETARD (and in the words of Carlos Mencia a DE DE DE!!!) goes and bothers them. Humans are the dangerous animals, and most if not ALL animals will not bother anyone as long as they are left to their own devices.

Humans are the only creation that needs guidance and guidelines from God. If things are left to their own rule setting they become actually worse than animals.

People in our society tend to scoff at people that are different from them and scoff at things that they feel are inferior to there issues. Also those people don't have compassion enough to deal with those issues so therefore they find them stupid.

Because people are such SHEEP.  They believe any stereotype, and tend to follow along with what everyone else is doing or thinking.  They are ignorant.
