I find myself flying off the handle and itching for a fight on this topic. I will try to control that. I see what you mean about not discriminating between properties but you must understand that "it won't discriminate (between plant species)" is one of the most common myths about bio-controls so if you want to be understood you need to be aware of such things and be explicit.
In a similar vein while it is true that dog is eaten in some cultures, this is generally not true in American culture. It is still not clear to me what point you were trying to make. It sounded like you were relying on that to show how some people are driven to extreme behavior. You did say "family dog" which is a firmly American/European concept.
