Killing dogs in Paradise Park
#19
I rsspectfully disagree.

I think it is entirely appropriate for a society or community to arrive at a moral consensus on the killing of dogs and the circumstances under which it might be appropriate or inappropriate. This discussion is part of that process.

Upon reflection, I do think it is inappropriate to pass judgment on a particular circumstance in this forum, especially without knowing both sides of the story.

I do think, however, that society regards the killing of a neighbor's dog without substantial justification, such as the defense of sentient being, to be immoral. I hope that includes the Puna community, but I could be wrong. What constitutes substantial justification depends on the facts of a particular case. It is human nature to develop codes of conduct, some of which become law and some of which simply guide civilized societies.

And I like to believe that we as a society are better off when we consider the impacts of a given action on our neighbors, whether it be keeping dogs in, or dealing with dogs once they get out.
