>You have been programmed by too many air buds and milos and otises I know one of those is a movie I've never seen. I don't know what the other two even are. I don't listen to modern propaganda (only some historic propaganda). My opinion on dogs is informed by my entire life, having dogs and treating them as family. It does not matter what you or anyone else thinks. To you they are pests, to some they are live stock. To me however, they are family. If someone harms my family, I don't give a shit if you tell me... but it was just a pest. You hurt my family, I hurt you, simple as that. No amount of your opinion on the subject would ever change that. You may feel you are logically in the right. That wouldn't matter. I am not the only one who feels that way about their dog. If someone harms a dog they should understand that may come with consequences beyond what they believe to be resonable.
