I couldn't bear for something to happen to one of our dogs, and if I was faced with an allergy to them...I'd seek treatment for the allergy, NOT get rid of my dogs....not saying you did anything wrong in re-homing your puppy, not all allergies are apparent right away....and as you said, it might have been too soon after losing your other dog to try getting a puppy. I know I have to wait awhile before we get another after losing one. (Still cry over one I lost in 1975, she was so special.)

I'd want them to do some sort of community service - but not around animals unless they had constant supervision and that is highly unlikely. I wouldn't trust them around ANY animal ever - not even a snake. There should be a punishment for them but nothing to do with animals. An eye for an eye sounds like a good compromise. . . .

It's people like these that harm animals that move on to other crimes - like harming human beings - later in life. I didn't watch the video nor have I seen it on TV. I can't watch things like this.

Some people seem to think of animals as sort of an expendable commodity. Like they can be treated like produce or something - easily disposed of. This is a terrible way to think and be and anyone who feels this way has deeper problems.
