In our society, animals have more rights then we do.

but i know for you, and for many of us - it's a life/death situation, esp. if its a big dog. a loud bang can disorient the dog enough to kick it away i think. i live in a neighborhood where morons let their dogs run free, even though it's highly illegal.

BTW - thank you for your service to our country
