That's a FAR better solution than Doug's "vanishing" act.



Mine's just another version of the same thing.


No it's not. An animal control person is acting within the boundaries
of the law. You are not. And they merely remove the animal. You kill
it.



But hang on....something's
wrong here....the animal shelter stole someone's cat. That's OK with you?


It's not considered theft. Why do you have so much trouble
differentiating these differences?

.....

What if your dog is hit by a car because you let if off your property
unsupervised. Would it bother you if the driver stopped for a moment, looked
in his mirror to see what he'd hit, saw that it was not a human and just
kept going?


What does this have to do with the original topic? Why do you feel
the need to go off on slightly related, but not relevant, tangents to
deflect from that which makes you uncomfortable?

Some years ago, a neighbor who had two dogs, a sheltie and a cocker
spaniel, lost the sheltie to another neighbor's German shepherd. The two
little dogs were in their own yard, kept there by training and by an
"invisible" fence...one of those electronic fences.

About a month later, the shepherd came back for another visit, and
started going after the cocker spaniel. The spaniel owner came out and
bashed in the skull of the shepherd with a shovel, and then dragged the
carcass out to the middle of the road.

All's well that ends well.

I would categorized that as "self defense". I would tend to look upon
that act as justified.
