I still can't say it's "right" to threaten pre-meditated murder against another person (no matter how far from human that person truly is), and 6 or 7 years ago I would've said the father should be watched very carefully and possibly even prosecuted for a terroristic threat of some kind.

But almost 5 years ago, my daughter was born. And now I completely understand the father's point of view (and the point of view of the Samuel Jackson character in the movie "A Time to Kill", the ending of which I disagreed until I became a father myself)

Still can't say it's "right" but certainly can't say it's "wrong" either. For his own sake and that of his family, I hope the father DOES NOT go through with his threats.

The state should keep that animal locked up "for its own safety". Just add an extra day to its sentence every time its prison cot is not made perfectly with "hospital corners" or something, then never supply sheets. Should be able to keep up that little game long enough for the animal to get the hint and just stop trying to make its bed at some point.
