even bigger A-hole

Sick bastard.I hope he gets haunted by those dogs everynight in his dreams.He is clearly sick and unfit as a firefighter.

If he brought the dogs to the pound to be put to sleep, there would be no problem. Personally, I think a bullet, is less frightening to the animals, especially coming from someone they know.
Sounds gruesome, but in reality, they were animals, not people. and although I don't approve of cruelty, I believe a man has a right to destroy his own property if he chooses.
I'm sure my opinion will not be shared by all, but I believe that is a sign of how perverted mankind has become.

- Are you suggesting that mankind has become perverted because people frown upon shooting dogs that interfere with vacation time?

I think you hit the nail on the head with the first part of that sentence, and missed it by as wide a mark as you could on the last

Do me a favor---if you really think what this guy did is fine and that those of us who are horrified by it are perverted---don't ever show up at any SB leg that I'm going to be present for.

i thought you were going to comment on whether pets are legally deemed "property" .

[ROCKFISH]

What I mean by perverted, is that the biblical laws of god, which were meant to protect human life, because it was created in the image and likeness of god, have in modern times been applied to animals, which we were meant to have dominion over.
I did not mean to imply that any of you are perverted because you love your animals. I happen to own a dog and a cat which I would never harm, mostly because my family loves them so much and I love and respect my family to much to hurt them.
I do however consider animals property and in no way accept that they have any inherent rights in and of themselves. Anymore than a striped bass has rights. Animals and fish were given to us to use, and for our benefit, wether as food or as a companion.
No man has a right to kill another mans animal, and the bible is clear on that subject. It is a crime against the owner, and restitution is required.
However, what I believe is a perversion of biblical law, is when animals are elevated to the status of people, (animal rights), and we accept that a crime can be committed against them.

Biblical law? Sorry, you live in the wrong country.

You forgot about something the bible also teaches about.

Greed.

Let me know when you sort out how it works into the equation.

[ROCKFISH]

I would not dismiss the laws of God, as they are the original basis for many of our laws, in this country. Without the word of god, how would we decide what is right and wrong. Unfortuanately, over the ages mankind has perverted those ideas to the point where today, evil is seen as good, and vise versa, just as the bible predicted would happen in the end times.
And even the so called authorities, who are supposed to uphold justice, have legalized and protected what god calls obomination, in the interest of political correctness. (a whole other topic, but I digress).
As far as greed is concerned, it seems to me that it is being used as an excuse, to punish a man for destroying his own property. I didn't read where a human was harmed in any way. I don't particularly approve of what he did, but I chose not to judge lest I be judged. Where as some of you seem to have a mob mentality, and would like to stone him.
As I said before if he brought the animals to the pound they would be put to sleep and everything would be fine. And I would think most of you guys have killed a few fish and or animals in your time. I know I have. The difference is that in our free thinking, modern, and perverted world we have mistakenly elevated some animals to the level of mankind. In fact above some of mankind. I read every day about killings around the world, that seem less important than these killings perhaps because the victims are not like us. Human but not american. And that i see as a perversion. I don't expect anyone to agree, I'm not looking for any man's approval, Just stating the facts as I see them.

This is one of the stupidest things ever posted here. Biblical laws? WTF? He lives in Columbus, Ohio. There are laws there that says he can't kill his pets without being prosecuted for it. Is there a biblical law that says you can make a silencer for a gun out of a 2 liter soda bottle? I didn't think so. What a jerkoff. Saying the animal shelter would have killed the dogs is not entirely true, either. They actually try to place animals with families before putting them to sleep.

Also, your analogy about killing striped-bass is just plain stupid. I don't know anyone who keeps them as pets. A pet is not a wild animal.
