because a dog is an animal and therefore has no soul. besides that the definition of murder is hte killing of a person not animal

I haven't heard it's ok to shoot a dog.
But you shouldn't be the one to end someone else's life, no matter if it's an animal or a human.

It shouldn't be....

They can't defend themselves...

If you feel the need to rid the world of waste, go find a child molestor or other human garbage to pick on!

It's not okay to shoot a dog.. At least where I am from there are laws that forbiden such action. Even if laws did not exist there is the law of nature and you as a human , most intelligent animal :P, should know what is ok and what's not.. Its called conscience..;P

It's not okay. But man made the laws...

Its not ok to just shoot a dog. If your life is in danger from either Dog or Man then either may get shot.

Of course they are both murder. I have no idea why there is not a law that prohibits people from killing any animals without reason (ie the reasons it could have rabies, old age etc).

Whoever said it was ok?

when you mess with me
you don't know what you've done
because i say nothing
you think you've won

i constantly think why
and the pain runs deep
the thoughts stay in my mind
and i see them in my sleep

some are born in this world
bad seed from the start
feeling good giving pain
having no soul or heart

you've made me feel things
that i don't like to feel

now thank yourself for me
because you taught me
how to kill

a killer-T-Boz

Although some people feel it is ok to shoot a dog, this is not true. In the US and other countries, shooting a dog is cruelty to animals.

Murder in the definition of law is the killing of a human being. An animal does not come under the protection of the law in that regard.

It is not really ok to shoot an animal, but the reasoning would be that humans have souls and have an afterlife, while animals do not. Afterall, we do have the domain over all animals on the earth(as said in the bible).


Anthony4Christ
Who says its okay to shoot a dog? or are u just reffering to the expression: "I will shoot you like a dog!"
That expression means that you will shoot the person without thinking about it or having any emotion toward to act.

Murder, shooting and the law are defined by man and implemented by man who does not want to be shot but may want to shoot a dog for pleasure and leisure.

different countries have different laws and shooting a dog may be legal in some and illegal in others

..................
if u really think about it........would you rather shoot a human or a dog? I mean shooting a dog is pretty awful but not as bad as shooting a human.....probably because killing your own kind is evil.........
