Should dogs be executed if they bite?

[tikcol]

Several scientists all agree that some dogs possess bad genes. Those dogs can never be rehabilitated.

Until you have been attacked by a dog, it's easy to say that it shouldn't be euthanized. I believe, that the execution of dogs that
share those kinds of genes should be permitted because they actively put people's life at risk. This will effectively stop the death of innocent people.


More than 200,000 humans have been attacked without provocation and more than 30 have died in a single year. With this in mind, many families and children become afraid of going outside, some of them frightened it might occur to them.

Hundreds of thousands of citizens have died of dog attacks and the families of the victim are now in intense grief. All of the injured victims lie there on their hospital bed crying in agony while our governments do nothing to resolve the matter. Those ferocious organisms do not have brains like ours, it's fair to say that a human's life is much more important than a dogs.

Humans should take priority on most if not all matters that concern life. If dogs or any other organism puts our life in danger, than we should deal with them appropriately, this is of the utmost importance concerning our survival as a species.


I believe any dog that puts the well being of a human in danger shouldn't be allowed to continue to live.

What do you think? Do you think the first bite is enough to warrant an execution or maybe give it a chance?

Yes but it would be even better if people couldn't have dogs without undergoing some kind of education in how to raise and handle dogs.

Some scientist are biased and wrong. There is no such thing as bad genes in dogs, only bad genes in humans. You don't rehabilitate a dog, you train a dog. You rehabilitate a bad human.

I can understand where you're coming from but it would be a very expensive process, to so many people for such an easy task.

Try to train a dog with bad genes and come back to us so you can share your painful experience

Poll sucks. Too black and white when considering such a moral judgement.

So don't get a dog if it's expensive.

[Creotor]

Certainly give it a second chance, if not all hope is lost, i.e. would vary from situation to situation. Proper procedure would have to be in place, with the possibility of taking the dog away from its owner, etc.
Was bit by a dog when I was 5-6. Was a tiny one, but it scared the hell out of me. Had to get a couple weeks worth of rabies shots in the stomach.

[Metallourlante]

I think it depends, I mean why the dog did it? The owner or another human tried to steal its food or tried to harass/beat that dog? I that case no.
The dog attacked a human without any reason? I think in that case yes.
You can rehabilitate certain dogs (I don't mean breed) but sometimes they are just plain bad, like human psychopaths. It's nature, not every creature can be good.

It doesn't matter why the dog did it, except for perhaps defending its owner.

Executing a dog isn't about morality, it's about defending your well being

[Underverse]

This is sarcasm, right?

Anyway, genes probably aren't the issue in either case. Culture, in the broadest sense, is more important.

Well, I can agree with you on that..but I saw people who should never be around dogs. Stupid morons who tried to take away the food from the dog's mouth, in that case I 'd root for the dog not the person.

[tikcol]

So don't get a dog if it's expensive.

You misunderstood the issue.

[Underverse]

Nipping, no. Biting and attacking, yes, euthanize it.

I can get behind this. Attacking, particularly. If the dog bites in (reasonable) self defense I don't see a reason to euthanize it.

[Deleted]

You misunderstood the issue.

What did I misunderstand?

[Shadowferal]

Biting...there might be other reasons other than aggression.

But if a dog is overly aggressive, they do tend to be put down. If a dog attacks a child, or some other harmless person, they there's usually no stipulation. Especially if a police officer catches a dog in the act.

The thing is, a second chance could result in the death of a toddler. Or some woman getting her face mauled off. And then people will ask, why wasn't it euthanized if it had a history of attacking people?

These are animals. It's better to be safe than lose human life over sentiment for a dangerous animal.

The fact remains that the dog bit

[schwank05]

My Grandpa used to shoot a Dog on site if it Bit someone, no questions asked, no second chances, no remorse. He knew if it Bit him it was only a matter of time before it bites a small child which could seriously injure or even kill them. I agree with this thinking, then again I do not get attached to animals that well most I was ever attached was to my 5 year old Bulldog who was hit by a car this past Spring after starting to go on the highway for no apparent reason after 5 years. First time I saw her do it I knew it was only a matter of time before she got smoked. But my wife's Beagle started to go after her, never had done that before so I made her put him down because we have a 2 and 4 year old.

[tikcol]

Repeat offenders yeah. Or if the first time resulted in serious injury.

The first time could have resulted in a minor injury by chance and the second one might be fatal.

Are you really willing to risk your son's life or your own on chance?

[Metallourlante]

Exactly. That's why I agree with you and it should be decided after knowing the whole situation and why the dog did it in the first place.
