Halibut Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The absolute least they could have done is try calling the dog over away from the explosion, or scaring it away. Instead they chose to wait for it to get nice and close and then laugh maniacally as they killed it. As for the point about 'giving away their position' they are driving through a populated area in the daytime in a convoy with at least 3 vehicles, everyone already knows their position. They're hardly seal team six. The point everyone seems to missing is that according to the report the soldiers set up the bomb themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingjimmy Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Why? Is it because we are more intelligent than dogs? Yup, that's a large part of it. We have the capacity to suffer a lot more than they do, so it is more important to prevent that suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much so, I doubt I would be handing out dog treats after seeing my mates get blown in half and seeing kids torn to bits, I probably wouldn't be in that frame of mind.

Why would they call the dog over? The report clearly suggests that they set the bomb with the intention of killing the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoran Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 speak English please. Erm, i was. Im sorry you cant understand a simple question. Here, let me simplify it foryou. How many dogs did you interview before you came to the conclusion they dont suffer as much as we do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yup, that's a large part of it. We have the capacity to suffer a lot more than they do, so it is more important to prevent that suffering. So intelligence determines whether life is important, in that case an intelligent human is more important than a stupid human and a dolphin if more important than many humans. We don’t prevent human suffering we prolong it; we do however prevent the suffering of dogs and other animals by putting them down when they are suffering.
