re: OT, why do ya'll care more about dogs than humans?

I know that is not the case for me, however with that being said I do get pretty pissed off when these dog deaths keep occurring. The reason is that it seems to be that the police officers action is to back away, tell the dog to move away then fire. I don't feel like a dog knows any better. I can assure you that my lab would chase you if you were running backwards and telling him to go away so I guess he would get shot with his tail wagging.
