He got into his house where he was now "safe" to then go BACK to where he says the "scary" animal is to do what?????? Strike two. He then stabs the animal because he "nipped" at him???? When the animal has clear evidence of NEVER having that perpensity before???? Strike three IMO.

Had this been a rabid dog attacking an innocent child, no problem. Had this been a dog that had a history of aggressiveness or biting, no problem. Had this been a situation where the dog was attacking that guy and he had to do that to get the dog off him, absolutely no problem. Noone of that happened in this case. So I truly don't see how any compassionate human being could not be upset that a harmless animal was killed in that fashion.

Can you?
i wondered if anyone would call me on this.. I can understand completely from what you are saying how you and others would feel the way you do about this, and again im not trying to start a huge debate.. (which is where this looks like it is headed) so here it is for you. i hope that you can respect my opinion as i respect yours.

I hate dogs. all dogs big one small ones hairy ones bald ones all of them. there is nothing a dog can offer me that would ever make me want to own one. ever.

that being said... do i think what dude did according to the news paper and reporters is correct? Hell no. i think they should do the same thing to him that he did if the dog was infact innocent.

I personally have had some very bad experiances with both peoples and animals being on my personal property. I have also had bad family experiances with family members and dogs, pit bulls and chows in particular.

I think that anyone that is not responsible enough to keep the dog on a leesh or in a fenced back yard where the chain link is actually burried does not deserve to own an animal. if you cannot abide by local laws pertaining to animal control you shouldnt have an animal to control.

I also belive that if there is something that is on your property that you dont want there you should have the right to remove it however you see fit. All of these things combined mean that i would have likely called animal control and let them deal with the dog, especially if i knew it wasnt a danger to the community. i would have also litterly shot it on the spot if i saw it a second time... or even the first time if i had childern

the only part of your defense that i dont buy is the part where you say he shouldnt have hurt a dog that had not been known to be violent or whatever in the past... he was only there 10 days and had not meet the owner, and i would guess the dog either... just wanted to point that out.
