Animal Lovers Bite Back at Dog Killing in Call of Duty: World at War

[Socdk]

Glad that c*** weren't around when I played Black&White. Man did I toss those cows and sheeps far into the oceans or what! Or into buildings for that matter... I also smacked my pet around an awful lot

I love this:

Again it comes down to this with animal rights protestors, animal life is more important than human life."

Or at least more important than Nazi life."

I love dogs near to death, but in a situation I would of course defend myself. I would try not and kill it though, a knock over the head works pretty well.

Still..once again, its a game. Its only a game.

If a german shepherd or pitbill came rushing at you, a knock over the head would not deter it in the slightest from mauling a piece of your leg or arm, or even a chunk of your face, off. If I were in a situation where someone sent an attack dog at me, and I had a gun or a knife, I would not hesitate to protect myself.

That's not to say I haven't punted my share of little aggressive terrier dogs with a cold, hard boot.

edit: fixing spelling.

I suppose your right, after all, we all have different methods in defending ourselves. I dont honestly know, until I am in that position, I will figure it out. However, this is speaking from behind a computer. If it actually happened, survival instincts take over and well, its different then just talking about it. If it was life or death, I choose life.

Ever punted a Shitzuh? haha.

Nope, I've only punted small terriers. Evil little bastards, especially the ones with the long, ungroomed wirey fur and cujo'esk eyes.

I've been run down by large dogs before and it is not a fun experience, especially with rottweilers and pitbulls. Once you find yourself in a predicament like that, your first instinct is to stare at them blankly or stupidly, then find a place to flee to. It's more surprising if the dog is untrained and off-leash or a stray fighter than, say, a police dog. You're walking down the street, minding your own business, and this large dog or two comes out of a yard acting normal. All of a sudden, it charges you out of nowhere. Unlike in videogames, you never expect that sort of thing to happen in real life and 98% of the time the person getting attacked is entirely unprepared for the matter.

That I agree with as Well. I mean, most people would never think that dogs would never attack them and when it happens, it shock, then fear sets in, then panic overtakes them. Thankfully, i never been attacked by a dog, but of course, the area I live in, not many dogs are here that are roaming. (living in the country) With a dog, isn't it that your not supposed to lock eyes? Its something that they will think your challenging and go off and attack. Also, never just bolt off? There are several rules for this sort of situation, but how many people will actually not panic and just run? I been around big dogs though, the biggest was a great dane, and holy crap, those things can knock you off your feet! So how did oyu deal with the dogs that chased you?

Ahh, i get that. I seen them before but they dont bother me that much. shitzuhs are just...ungly ass dogs in my opinion and they just yip and try to bite your ankles, damn things.

There not just dogs. There NAZI dogs. That makes it okay. Shooting Nazis is always okay. Oh, they were just doing what they were trained to do? Well, so were most of the human Nazis. Bam, argument derailed to something far more relevant, debatable, and not stupid.

It is sad that in the medias eyes, in terms of death count, ten thousand Africans equals a thousand Middle Easterners equals a hundred Europeans equals ten Americans equals 3 dogs/cats which equals 1 kitten/puppy.

 

[Old Man Neck]

Yes, it is wrong to kill dogs, especially when they are trying to rip out your throat. I have a dog, and I'm not offended. But this controversy isn't new. Wolfenstein 3D was criticized for dog killing too.

 

[forever saturday]

They honestly care more that we can kill dogs in this game than if we kill people? Besides, they are fucking attacking you. If i was in a war being charged at by attack dogs, and i had a gun, you can bet those dogs are going down. Same with people. These guys are insane, seriously.

Fortunately, dogs give you plenty of warning if it is their intention to attack you.

Sometimes you don't have to look at a dog straight in the eyes or run away to trigger it into attacking you. Some dogs simply go crazy when they see another person, and perceive that, since the entire neighborhood or park is their territory, that person is intruding on it. This is especially true if there is more than one dog; two dogs can feed off of each other's excitement to the point that they can do the unexpected, even if one is a very nice dog by itself. Dog pack attacks can happen to anyone, regardless of what they do.

My favorite dog attack story was when I was hiking and came across four rottweilers that were off leash. They saw me and ran. I never found myself up a tree that fast than that one time. I was stuck in that tree for thirty minutes to an hour getting barked at by those large, meaty dogs before the owner came walking down the path. It was explained to me after the fact that the dogs were really good and just 'got out' when he left the gate open. And they were nice dogs, when they were calm in the presence of their owner and no longer trying to tear me a new one.

Another time someone's pitbull, scarred and an obvious fighter, broke through a chain it was tied to and came at me while I was taking a walk. I hopped a nearby fence and ran for my life.

A third time, the neighbor had a dog that jumped the small fence separating yards. It was a wolf dog hybrid and took a bite out of my sister's midsection. She was a little kid at the time and required stitches, and thankfully people were present when it happened. The dog was put down immediately afterward.

Then there are other occasions. There are many stray dogs where I live, or fighting dogs that young teenagers let go when they're no longer a winner. At a park there was a very large dog that was going at passerby's. Even after being reported by the public, it eventually attacked someone. That dog had rabies. Even then, as I've just proven, the dog does not have to be rabid or sick in order to attack unsolicited. And the people who get chased down do not have to do anything wrong in order to get attacked. The best advice I can give is to own a can of pepperspray and carry it around with you at all times while hiking or on walks. If you don't have something to protect yourself from a charging dog, or more than one, find the nearest piece of cover and get to it.

 

[Jingermanoo]

She makes a valid point in my opinion.

I couldn't even keep a straight face whilst typing that.

 

[beddo]

I wish people would be much clearer about games, if I owned a games company I would sue for liable. You do not kill dogs in the game, at all or ever, you play a game which depicts the killing of deadly trained animals.

It is not an objective of the game to kill dogs, nor is it presented in an entertainment 'game' style way. It's presented as a horrible part of war, a part of war where these dogs as trained to be killers and their welfare is irrelevant to the handlers.

If you want to complain about the killing of animals in games then why are they not comlaining about some of the actual hunting games.

They're saying it's wrong to kill dogs, what about all the dogs that kill children. If a dog poses a significant threat to humans then it should be put down, in more immediate circumstances they need to be stopped from killing people as quickly as possible.

 

[beddo]

If any of these members are not vegetarians then they are absolute hypocrits. Also, why aren't they actually protesting real hunting of animals.

This is just a joke coming from people who don't respect animals. People who respect animals don't keep them locked up and call them Fluffy and Winnie the Pooh. People who respect animals don't remove pack animals from the pack to keep them for themselves. I wouldn't be suprised if they neutered male pets.

Actually talking about the welfare of animals and owning a carnivore is a bit of an oxymoron. You have to respect that they are carnivores and their system is designed to eat other animals. At the same time you can't feed them other animals through processed food or otherwise because other animals have suffered to become 'food'.

Furthermore, if they feed

Someone needs to walk up to one of those animal rights activists crazy people and punch them in the face smash them in the stomach with a baseball bat while wearing this T-Shirt.

 

[squid5580]

Good thing she hasn't seen RE5. Even I have felt a twinge of guilt by killing those puppies. But then I just call them Ole Yeller and it fades.

Well, I heard stories about the dog packs. Its like mob mentality. Thankfully, I never been seriously attacked, the only thing that happened to me was a large black lab chasing me, nearly fucking up my bike by biting the tires and all that shit while I sped off.

Well, I would never think a dog needs anything, i mean, it can be raised bad and all of that, but all dogs havea wild streak in them. Wolf hybrids, especially. A massive wild streak! Well, eye irritants work well then, and basically run and hide. You got to admit, humans by themselves without a weapon are weak compared to other creatures.
