Poll: Would you kick a puppy?

[CarlMin]

Its not ok to hurt an innocent animal for such a trivial reason.

But if the thing was humping my leg or had crapped in the house then Id boot the thing.

Yeah, that really doesn't sound half as funny as you must have thought it would.

Humour was not my intention.

 

[Ickorus]

No way, that'd be horrible.

I'd love to say I would do it for like £1000000 but then again, I probably wouldn't even then.

What can I say, I love animals.

You'd kick a dog for humping your leg or crapping inside?

 

[darkdraconus]

I can't stand dogs, so I'd happily kick one.

 

[Togs]

You'd kick a dog for humping your leg or crapping inside?

Yes, and I believe I've already stated as much.

And self righteous indignation in 3-2-1....

No, I'm just curious. Are you suffering from some sort of antisocial disorder or are you just trying to provoke?

 

[Kwaren]

Yes, but because I hate dogs.

Your Fluttershy avatar would be ashamed.

OT: No I would not kick the puppy. I love puppies.

 

[sofareal]

Yes, For any reason other then none...ANY
I HATE dogs...and I hope that kick kills it
Of course I'm one of those people who at the age of 5, actually has been bitten by a dog and had to go to the hospital for it.
They are my enemy

 

[similar.squirrel]

No. If the puppy was running at me with a live grenade strapped to it, I would. Then I would probably hunt down the perpetrator afterwards and break his arms.

 

[Togs]

No, I'm just curious. Are you suffering from some sort of antisocial disorder or are you just trying to provoke?

Neither, crapping in the house or humping someones leg are both forms of unacceptable behaviour- pain acts as an instant discouragement.

Or would you just let them continue to do it with no form of reprimand?

So you?re just incredibly unknowledgeable when it comes to modern dog training? You have to be if you think that physical abuse is a good form of punishment ? an idea that most dog experts abandoned a long time ago.

Just tell you don?t own a dog.

 

[Emilox The Great]

5$= You monster, i would never do such a thing!
15$= No!
50$= *Kicks the puppy*

 

[Ampersand]

You couldn't pay me 5 million euro to hurt an innocent animal, especially one who's incapable of harming me.

No I dont own a dog, and whilst your tone is making it very hard for me to not burst out laughing Im gonna try and stay civil- if the dogs trained I have no call to kick it do I? Its not something I do for fun.
And I was not suggesting it as a replacement for training but as something to stop it doing what it was at that moment- the number of times Ive encountered untrained dogs is stupid, and if it starts humping my leg or getting in my face im gonna discourage it from doing so, a kick may not be needed but Im gonna do whatever I need too to make it learn that Im not someone it can do that to.

 

[Sparrow]

What kind of asshole would do that?

Yeah, this. Hitting an animal for a stupid reason like this should be an offense punishable by death by firing squad. And fire. And pain.

 

[CarlMin]

And using adequate grammar as it seems.

Physical intimidation and physical remediation simply aren?t good methods of training, unless you want to have an aggressive and insecure pet. No matter how annoying it might be having a dog crapping inside or humping your leg, kicking it or hurting it in any other way is not justified.

Christ, why am I wasting my Saturday trying to explain to some guy on the internet why kicking puppies is wrong?

Just google search it and im sure you?ll find a million of articles and studies telling you just why physical discipline isn?t advisable when it comes to dogs. Now, you obviously don?t know much about dogs, nor dog training, I suspect you couldn?t care less, but at least the decency in you to to check the basics.

 

[AudienceOfOne1]

depends if I needed a football...

Finally some decency on this thread otherwise permeated by subhuman moral.

 

[DirtyMagic]

No, not for any amount of money.
I'm not some kind of moral knight, but you're basically the biggest jerk-ass in the universe if you get any kind of kick out of this.
