When you apply the same rules about cruelty to a mosquito, then we
can talk. If you don't agree that the two animals have equal value,
explain yourself.

Even if I did,you wouldn't accept it.
Who can decide "equal value",anyways?

What a silly question. **YOU** have decided dogs and mosquitoes have
UNequal value, right? Your entire framework in the discussion is based
on that theory.




Doug,you simply are not rational.Seek help.

(and you are the one who made the claim of mosquitoes and dogs being of
equal value.)

I'm not rational??

You asked "Who can decide equal value?". That implies nobody can determine
"value". But, you claimed the two creatures are NOT equal, which answers
your question about "who?". Apparently, you believe that YOU can be the
judge of value.

Based on that, so can I.

Sounds like expensive mosquitoes to me:

We're all familiar with so-called "ambulance-chaser" lawyers who often
advertise on late-night television. But did you know that there's another
interesting and somewhat related field: dog-bite law? It's true -- and it's
big business. At the illinois-dog-bite-attorney.com website, for example, I
found these statistics:

a.. "There are approximately 5 million dog bites per year (nearly 2% of
all Americans are bitten by a dog each year)."

b.. "About 800,000 victims per year require medical attention for dog
bites."

c.. "1,000 dog-bite victims per day are seen in hospital emergency rooms
with 6,000 requiring hospitalization each year."

d.. "Dog bite losses exceed $1 billion per year with $345 million paid by
insurance companies."

I'm glad this thread is still going on as I had a dog problem las night

My neighbor's dog often comes over our yard. My wife gives him a treat, I
fill a small bucket so he has something to drink. We played tossing a
stick for about tem nutes too.

When the dog went home, he ****ed on my tree. Should I shoot the dog or my
neighbor?

I'd say shoot the tree, but then you'd be in BIG trouble from the
tree-huggers.

See what happens when you give a moocher a little entertainment, some help,
something to eat and a free drink?

As a wise man said, "No good deed goes unpunished."

It's good you told someone. Keeping that inside is bad for you.

Well, you invited the dog, so protocol says you should shoot yourself, but
not fatally, or you won't learn not to invite dogs over.

You know, my wife and I were talking about this just last night .........
what would be the proper etiquette in this situation.

Thanks.

This thread long ago turned into a ****ing contest, so I figured I'd ****
against the tree too. I was able to reach a higher spot so I guess I won.
Unless the dog comes back and pees on my leg.

to show how is top dog.

My uncle actually had a dog that would do that.

I guess it means something in dog language.

DRUM CRASH! :-)

There are laws in just about every state about harming domestic pet

every state also has crop damage laws. in many, if any animal is
bothering a crop, it can be shot on sight. tomato garden, anyone?

FARMERS,in agriculture-zoned areas,sure.
But most if not all of the queries HERE are from URBAN homeowners,where it is is NOT legal.

call you on it. Tell us which state you're in, so we can look up
the law



I live in an apartment.


The OP wasn't in an apartment.
