Animals are NOT=People
that wasn't really directed at you cha.
rainman.......When I grew up, if the "dog of the month" were to as much as growl at a visitor...It went "away".
There are alot of levels of Misbehavior, and I know its probably against the grain, but I think that sometimes, it is a perfectly viable option.
Not long ago, my dog, who I spend alot of time dinking around with, usually let go along when I go somewhere(not work related) was having a problem...Severe shit attacks, and dominated my house twice...............un-acceptable.
I took him to the vet, and as they were writing up the $150 bill for the "guess and expensive food".....he started to talk about "surgical options"..at which Point I stopped him and said
"I like my dog. He's a good dog and I have alot of time invested in him, but the Value of his life is $200, and I'll put him down before I spend more than that"
I wouldn't enjoy it, I wouldn't like it, but I'll be damned if I'll be one of the people that spend $1k+ to get my dog worked on.
I know others do, and thats their choice and I respect it. I'm probably just less sensitive after growing up, seeing the things I saw on the farm.
many times, the kindest thing was to put an animal down. Sometimes born too small( runt pigs) would get chewed to death by the others if you didn't give them a whack.
Like I said....nature, is a cruel Bitch.
