Assuming that the company/business did not have enough money for what they say is a more humane euthanasia, I think its alright if they shot the dogs. Strays lead miserable lives WHat's messed up is that the guy who had to do the job did not know what he was doing and couldn't do the job swiftly, and painlessly. Should've at least asked around to see if someone knew how to do it better. | ||

The town must be in uproar. o good. i was beginning to think Whistler was just a dog killing town. glad a former resident could stop by a vouch for their nobleness but what do you mean in general they would never do something like this? like 60% of the time they don't kill dogs, but on friday-sunday it's open range. o gawd | ||

I'm sure that Brain meant the residents of Whistler were morally upright enough (barring a few troublemakers) to never do this sort of thing. To assert that every resident of the town is a canine-slaying monster, because of one regrettable incident perpetrated by a handful, is ridiculous. And on top of that, did you honestly think that Brain implied some sort of grisly "open-range" shit occurred every weekend? Perhaps you and I think differently about matters, but I find it incredibly difficult to misconstrue the intent behind his words, Albis. Ponder it for a little while longer, and please try and refrain from such wild conspiracy. EDIT: Unless you were trolling. But if that's the case, you could have either done it better, or been funnier, and in my opinion, this topic warrants no disparagement in the first place. | ||

Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them. ~Samuel Butler, Note-Books, 1912 If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian. ~Paul McCartney How can you eat anything with eyes? ~Will Kellogg Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant? I'm halfway through my fishburger and I realize, Oh my God. I could be eating a slow learner. ~Lynda Montgomery Animals are my friends... and I don't eat my friends. ~George Bernard Shaw We don't need to eat anyone who would run, swim, or fly away if he could. ~James Cromwell Nothing more strongly arouses our disgust than cannibalism, yet we make the same impression on Buddhists and vegetarians, for we feed on babies, though not our own. ~Robert Louis Stevenson My perspective of veganism was most affected by learning that the veal calf is a by-product of dairying, and that in essence there is a slice of veal in every glass of what I had thought was an innocuous white liquid - milk. ~Rynn Berry, quoted in Joanne Stepaniak, The Vegan Sourcebook, 1998 Recognize meat for what it really is: the antibiotic- and pesticide-laden corpse of a tortured animal. ~Ingrid Newkirk I think if you want to eat more meat you should kill it yourself and eat it raw so that you are not blinded by the hypocrisy of having it processed for you. ~Margi Clark I do not like eating meat because I have seen lambs and pigs killed. I saw and felt their pain. They felt the approaching death. I could not bear it. I cried like a child. I ran up a hill and could not breathe. I felt that I was choking. I felt the death of the lamb. ~Vaslav Nijinsky Truely man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds theirs. We live by the death of others: we are burial places! I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look on the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men. ~Leonardo da Vinci Would you kill your pet dog or cat to eat it? How about an animal you're not emotionally attached to? Is the thought of slaughtering a cow or chicken or pig with your own hands too much to handle? Instead, would hiring a hit-man to do the job give you enough distance from the emotional discomfort? What animal did you put a contract out on for your supper last night? Did you at least make sure that none went to waste and to take a moment to be grateful for its sacrifice? ~Anonymous | ||

I couldn't kill them personally because I have pet dogs which I love and I'd have way too much shit because of that but these aren't someones pet. Pigs are just as smart and we have no issue with killing them. Whether they are someone's pets or not doesn't matter, their lives can be saved and slaughtering them is a horrible act. Honestly, the pig cow vs dog debate has been beaten to death and I don't even know why people still use this as an argument. Dogs were basically CREATED by humans, and they evolved to bond with us and we actually release a chemical called oxytocin when we interact with them (same when we interact with babies). This puts them ahead of animals that we just eat for food, like how we put humans lives before other animals. The world is grey sometimes you know. | ||

How did this post not get a ban or at least a warning? 1) Inconsistent with basic morality 2) Inconsistent with the law 3) Probably a troll 4) If not 3, a terrible terrible person who I would want no affiliation with... I'm surprised TL mods don't feel the same way about this... | ||

Humans didn't create any animal that is used for consumption that didn't already exist in the wild. Haven't you people read Guns, Germs, and Steel? | ||

And while dogs probably weren't domesticated for consumption, there certainly isn't much evidence to suggest why they were domesticated at all. | ||

Then I read Kwark's and Mani's responses and realized I suffered from the same "cuddly pet" syndrome as everyone else in the Western World raised on Disney movies and pet keeping. However, the manner in which this was done is clearly wrong - although I've heard the slaughterhouses aren't much different to livestock. | ||
