I will post here exactly what I told a lady who had two of her dogs shot, not by me, a while back. Keep your animals under control and that won't happen. I have seen "Fluffy the pet" turn into a pack animal and kill other animals to often to ever believe any owner who claims their dog isn't aggressive or violent. In the right circumstances any animal is a danger and must be looked on as such. That includes any dog or cat or hog or horse or Chimpanzee or whatever. Once outside the control of their owner they are either a nuisance or a potential danger.

Animals can be a joy but they can also be a hazard. I will not risk any human life, the only kind that is really important to me, to save any animal. Every time a shot is fired to save an animal is a risk that should not have been taken. If it is a person being attacked and there is not another option then sure, save the cheerleader or whatever. I have to say if I found out my kid or wife died or was hurt because somebody shot an animal to save their animal...you fill in the blank. Put that way, I hope we all think before we are so willing to fire off a round to save an animal no matter how attached we have become and how many human emotions or traits we are projecting on that animal. That is my opinion and I am a pet owner.
