No, the Polynesians brought dogs, pigs, and moa in the canoes.

There were dogs here in Hawai'i when Cook arrived.

Dick, I'm not telling you you have to accept some other culture's values. I'm just saying be aware that certain cultures have power and presence and the powers that be don't necessarily want to wage war against them.

hikatz didn't say people were raiding for dogs. She said her roosters were messed with, which was terrible. She said that dogs that go missing may end up being used in awful ways. I read "missing" as dogs that strayed, not kidnaped dogs, but maybe that's what she means and if so, she can clarify.

Of course I don't support this inhumane activity. Of course I care about people's pets and don't want them to be harmed.

Still have a gut reaction every time I hear someone talking about all the guns and mean dogs they intend to have to protect themselves. Yuck. That kind of attitude is why I would never want to move to Texas, and I hate to see it be talked about as the answer to the social problems here.

So some of you are of that mindset, guns and dogs, and support each other, I'll continue to be at least one voice pleading for people to think of solutions other than violence.

[DickWilson]

I'm not a violent person by nature. I do however believe that one should always protect ones home and family. If that takes violence, so be it. I don't think I have ever said to turn your home into an armed camp. I have said it is your castle and deserves all the protection you can offer it. The thugs of this world rely on the unwillingness of the average person to defend themselves and their property. If the situation arises where you have to defend your family or home the only sensible response is a sudden and overwhelmingly violent attack to render the suspect unable to harm you or yours. Not everyone who believes in firearms for protection is bent on righting the wrongs of the world at gun point. The laws in those states allowing firearms for self defense are very specific and detailed regarding the permissible use thereof. But the right to be secure in ones own home trumps any rights of the thug committing the crime, and society is better off if they never get the chance to endanger another in their home. I won't apologize for that belief, it
is certainly better than the option of being buried for failing to respond.

Well if you think they are not out catching dogs and cats to train their dogs think again. Soon you will be hearing nationally on our local Judge who raises lion hounds and sells them in Africa for 5000 a pup. he has been video taped here in Salmon Idaho coming into town and trapping people's cat's to be used on his hounds. it will be on u-tube soon right now we are going through the local channels but we are getting a blind eye from the good ole boy network. The **** is going to hit the fan when this goes national. I hope they hang him by the balls from the town square. So ifits happening here in podunk Salmon Idaho, I would bet its happening their.

helpful hint. Get your self a sheep horn, when a pit bull locks its jaws on something, you have to pop the jaw. by sticking the sheep horn in the back of the jaw and pry it open. it just might save your life and the life of your dog.

It was here on puna web that I learned if you dont have somewhat of a mean dog, its not if your going to get broken into, but when. I dont want to interfere with others cultures. I am sorry if your not comfortable about guns. Thank god I have never had to use one a person, but have had to protect myself from Wolves, Bears and even moose. I dont see much difference than having a bang stick to protect you from an attacking shark.

I wish the world was a nice nice place but it isnt, some of us are moving to Hawaii to get away from the craziness that our country is headed.

I am smart enough to surround myself with like minded people. good people, with good energy. and kind loving souls. But when I am spending time with good people, I dont want bad people hurting my animals or breaking into my home, my sanctuary.

I agree with Dick. Come to my home with the intention to hurt my family or animals and it will be the last thing you do

p.s Kathy the dog I plan on getting will be a mean dog to strangers it will be raised with my pack and wont be off my three acre parcel. I am not purposely going to breed dogs to be mean, I just want the dogs that I do have (mostly cocker spaniels and one old lab and a ****zue.) all of which would not survive an attack from someones stupidity of letting their aggressive dog running loose.
You can be the voice of reason. But I would be devastated if someones mean dog came onto my property and attacked me or my animals.
I am open to suggestions, How else is one to protect themselves, if their not out looking for trouble?

And what about the pigs? my dogs wouldn't stand a chance against a 200 pound pig.
my property will be fenced. other than having a pig hunting dog, that's raised from a pup with my pack.
How else can I protect?
