You think that's messed, try this on for size: http://www.peta-online.org/alert/00/319.html Allow me to summarize, kid kicks dog, dog bites kid, father of kid kills dog, PETA urges people to write letter to thank the state attourney for persecuting the father of the child. I agree that drowning the dog is a cruel thing to do, but if it attacks a human once, it will inevitably do it again, and should have been killed anyways, but maybe by lethal injection or something less painfull. However, since it is his own dog that attacked his own kid, I feel that the decision should be left to him. If a dog bit your kid what would you do?
-------------------- Me- Hi Jen! What's up! Jen- You again??!?! Listen kid, I'm not interested in you. Stop bothering me, I'm a lot older than you and I have a boyfriend. How did you find my ICQ number anyways? Me- Oh, so just cuz you're a movie star now, and you're new album made millions, you think you're too good for me? Jen- Yes!!! Get it thorough your head! I am a person, I am not Jennifer Lopez the hottest woman on earth that everyone wants to sleep with, I'm a person, leave me alone!!! Me- Fine! Be that way! Me- Jen.... Where'd you go.... I love you... please come back.... please....

1. The Scout Law does NOT say what PETA says it does in its article about the fishing merit badge.
Not only that, but the Scouts are supposed to EAT the fish they catch... of course, PETA wants us all to subsist on tofu and bean sprouts.
2. I disagree with Infinity that the dog should have been killed or was a likely candidate to attack another human.
The dog was simply defending itself against an unwarranted, brutal attack (ever been kicked? it HURTS!) by the ONLY means it had available. The guy should have taught his kid not to kick animals.
Despite what the gun-grabbers tell you (PLEASE, It's NOT my intention to turn this into a gun thread, it's just the best comparison that came to mind!), people (or animals) that defend themselves ONCE do NOT suddenly become violent homicidal killers.

I think you need to consider that there is a big difference between human beings and animals. An animal has no higher reasoning capacity. Therefore if an animal attacks a human, that animal is a danger to society. Instead of putting it in jail, we put it to sleep, little difference in most of the world (and no difference in some american states )
Again I ask, if your dog bit your kid, would you not have it putten to sleep?

Huh. This is why I am against the law banning ferrets from NYC. Dog bites can be much more dangerous than ferret bites, and yet they refuse to ban DOGS from New York. What sort of twisted logic does that wonderous mayor of the city support anyway?
Note: I am, however, a ferret owner, so, this may be biased.

If you try to contact the local PETA office in Alaska, you'll get the delightful people known as "People Eating Tasty Animals." Apparently, the acronym was taken before the PETA we know got in.
Ok, maybe not. But, they are a problem here in Baltimore -- stupid pit bull owners let their dogs run around free, then get all pissy when the city government kills their animals after they attack people (er -- after the pit bull attacks people, not after the city government attacks people).
There was an attack last night, actually -- two pit bulls against an old lady walking home with groceries. Thankfully, she wasn't injured too badly, and was out of the hospital by last night, but damn the city government for not passing an ordinance to ban pit bulls (they decided against passing this last week, BTW).
If people are going to own dangerous pets (including, but not limited to: lions, tigers, bears, pit bulls, other agressive dogs, grasshoppers, Fundamentalists, etc.), they really need to take a "common sense" course. You know: keep your pet CHAINED or behind a FENCE at all times! If caught loose on the street, your pet will recieve (absolutely free) a faceful of Baltimore PD issue shotgun pellets.
