Your first post said that you beat and kick the dog-I took that literally. You don't do that?
All those things you said are worse than hitting a dog, yes, but to me, that doesn't make it acceptable. I've always treated dogs as I would like to be treated because they are intelligent, sensitive, loyal animals. From the dog's point of view, if it's not trained to know what it's doing is wrong, does that make it ok to hit it? Can you apply the same lesson to children or anything that can't/won't defend itself? I'm just saying if the dog doesn't know better, then it's not going to understand why it gets hit-and unless you're being attacked, I don't think beating and kicking dogs is very nice.
Like you said, Ku'u, it's just an opinion. Na, I hope you don't think that what I said is dishing out shit. I was trying to express my opinion and even give suggestions which were ignored or forgotten. Well, anyway, just my 2 cents.
