I’m with you but we live in a day when animals are often valued more than human life. I’ve got relatives that treat their dog better than their own children (I’m not exaggerating here) and refer to them as their kids.

I recommend taking a look at your own signature line.

Well, I know more than a few that consider their animals as real, authentic members of the family. I do as well, and all that have passed I still miss each one as if they were at the top of the food chain. Hell, they were a damn sight more 'human' than one or two of the actual so-called humans in my extended family.

Would I have defended my dog? Hell yes. It most assuredly would not have ended well for the gator. I think that my current mix of Polycase ARX and Federal HST loads in 'soft 'n' weak' 40S&W would be just enough to do the trick. My dog nor I don't need anyone else doing that 'euthanizing' for us, thank you very much. Of course freak ASPCA chapter probably would love to have me up on charges, but I'm good with that. I need a new wallet anyways, and any kind of meat that tastes like chicken is fine by me.
