In a separate response I insinuated that they should be held in higher value than property but less than humans. Personally think we should value and be good stewards of all life entrusted to us.

In a “in the heat of the moment” I think any means up to deadly are warranted. Personally though, as much as I love dogs and other critters, I do not think a dogs life = a human in any exchange. If we’re to go with courtroom punishments as insinuated by the meme, hard fucking no to the premise.
