They have value in more than one way.<br /><br />About 7 years before my dad died at age 82, his dog was run over shortly after they arrived home from traveling. He was heartbroken. Never got another dog. Six months later, I visited, and figured out who killed the dog. Wasn't an accident. Some thieves were breaking into his tool shed and storage, and they knew the dog would keep them away. I figured that there was a good chance they would make a one way ocean voyage (or reasonable facsimile) if I told him about it, so I didn't. That dog was special, and I wouldn't have blamed him. But, he might have enlisted assistance, and I was pretty sure there would be a long line of people willing to help do the deed, and things might get problematic with loose lips, so...Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-9257398939870318952020-01-14T07:38:20.211-05:002020-01-14T07:38:20.211-05:00That's morally questionable.

I think t..."He shot a human over a dog".<br /><br />I think that that judgement from you doesn't say much nice about you.<br /><br />I have had dogs that I'd shoot a human over.

I don't doubt that someone might shoot another person for a pet. THAT someone?
