I am having a hard time trying to decide where I come down on this and would like your input.
A local man (not known by me; heard it on the news) was arrested for 5 counts of cruelty to animals for shooting a litter of puppies with a 22.
While not wanting to join PETA I consider myself a animal person. I hate to see a dog/horse locked in a 10x10 cage/stall I hate zoo's I do not want to see dogs running loose on the street but they should have a big yard to run and jump around. Most city lots would not provide such a yard.
But on the other hand I believe a dog is just a dog. He is not my child. While my wife does not agree; I believe if a vet bill gets over a few hundred dollars; put it to sleep; I will get another dog. I believe in culling or lining dogs with problems. I know of dogs shot for snapping at a owner or other unacceptable acts. I know of old timers that used dogs for hunting (putting meat on the table not sport hunting) shooting half a litter of puppies so only the best dogs were raised to full size.
So I have a hard time calling cruelty to animals on this guy for shooting some dogs. Would it have been any different had he took them to a vet and paid for them to be put to sleep? Or have we become a society where shooting an animal with a gun is not humane?

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
