I have no problem with your position but if you reread your earlier posts you came off more extreme then your last couple statements. To the point of sounding like anybody who would kill a dog in defense of themselves or others was wrong. Maybe not what you ment, but thats how I interpeted it and I bet the others. Would I shoot a dog for wrestling or playing with mine no, but if somebodys pit, GSD, lab or w.e. came in the yard teeth bearing hair stood on end trying to harm my dog or somebody else that is a different situation. Either which way I hope to never be in the position to have to take that kind of action. Just like I keep loaded firearms for homedefense, but hope to never need them. So lets just :hug and make up.
