Maybe .. but who says those dogs were feral?

I agree with your point but there are more humane ways of "putting them down". Really, wouldn't you think a bullet to the head or them being taken to the vet and given a shot would have been more compassionate? I'm a good swimmer but I still have a fear of drowning.

Or maybe the bitch could have listened to Bob Barker and had her pet spayed or neutered.

This is going to take me twenty posts to make a futile attempt to try to explain, isn't it?

Without someone to take care of them, domesticated dogs turn feral in order to survive. That's just the way it is. If there are other feral dogs around, they join up in packs (those that aren't killed by the pack, anyway). That's when they become dangerous, because they will hunt (and breed) in a pack.

Yes, there are more humane ways of euthanizing animals. But not everyone has access to, or can afford, a vet, which is why not every pet is sterilized. Bullets cost money; poison costs money. Neither bullets nor money are always easy to obtain. And honestly, if someone had posted a video of of pups being shot or poisoned, people would be just as outraged.

I agree, it's hard to watch. I don't think I could do it. But if I had to, I wouldn't video tape it, then post the video on the internet. That's the disgusting part, not euthanizing pups.

Still a fucked up thing to do in my book. That's all I'll say on it.

The majority of people's attitudes towards animals are totally fucked.

How so? Is it wrong to be a responsible pet owner and get your dog/cat spayed or neutered?

I've rescued many dogs and the dog we have now would have gone to the pound had we not taken her.

I don't liken this to killing a person, but it's fucked up just the same.

Ummm you've taken what I said the wrong way.

What I was meaning by "fucked up" was someone who doesn't do the things you mentioned and/or don't have any respect for animal's lives or well being.

I personally think there should be way harsher penalties for animal cruelty.

I don't hurt/kill animals, I refuse to. I'm a pescetarian, mainly because meat doesn't taste good and is terribly unhealthy.

I don't want all animals to suffer or anything, I just understand that in certain situations it's better to kill them.
