Trying to protect his family?? The dog was just growling, I don’t even understand whey the hell he would shoot the thing if it growled, plenty of mentally stable dogs growl to show how they feel.
Cattle are grown for their meat and I know we cant stop them from being inhumanly slaughtered, but dogs on the other hand are PETS and should be treated like part of the family.

This thread is starting to get on my nerves. Too many people are condemning christmas_day's father for trying to protect his family.

The second thing I have to say is, do none of you people eat meat? How do you think your food gets there? I can assure you that 50% of the meat you buy at your average chain grocery store was not humanely slaughtered.


Dogs are not always pets. Many dogs are working animals, and in the end treated no differently than livestock.

Look, to EVERYONE that's following this thread, I'm not trying to say what her father did was right or wrong. It was merely my opinion from the perspective of a small-scale farmer. People do not always have the money to take care of their animals properly and give them the best medical care.
Some people are saying that if you don't have enough money, you shouldn't own animals. And yes, those people are probably correct in their belief. But the fact is, the financially challenged still do own animals.
Would you rather he let a possibly rabid dog loose in the neighborhood to infect other animals, or people? What if a small child was bitten? There is no easy answer to this situation.

Awww. ~Tear~ That is so sad. I have a lot of dogs my dad uses for hunting. But he would never do something that horrible. I am so sorry that it happened like that.

When my dog got pregnant she started growling a lot at the other dogs, but after she had the pups, she was totally okay. He should have taken to the vet first.

First of all, I would like to point out that shooting a dog is not inhumane if it's done correctly. As awful as that sounds, it is possible to shoot a dog (or any other animal for that matter) without making it suffer. Before those vaccines used to put animals down, shooting them was the most humane way to end their suffering.

That being out of the way, I do think that your dad was wrong to destroy Onix without first going to the vet and confirming that there was something wrong with him, and whether or not he could be helped. I also think that he should have been more honest with you. I know I would have liked to know what was going to happen to my dog.

If he was afraid that that she would bit you or your family at least your dad could have done is call the animal center and see if they would take her in, and give her a chance to live, possibly with another family.
Or had her put to sleep by the vet.

It's terrible that she had to be killed, but shooting is a lot more humane then a lot of you realize. Atleast he didn't hang her.

` If she had rabies, then... She needed to be killed.
Being shot is the cheapest way, and she probably didn't feel it anyways.
Rabies ******** with the head and the pain sensors.
And he lied probably so you wouldn't be so hurt right away....

` That could be REALLY dangerous.
What if he bit the Vet? or other dogs? or a CHILD?
Seriously.
Shooting it was the best way.

Ever seen Old Yeller? I BET they had vets, but did they take it? Nope.
Stop whining, it's an animal. They get sick. They die.

If a human attacked your brother, and someone shot him, would you boohoo?
No?
Exactly.
