Dogs get hit all the time as well, so do cats. My point is that people value animals lives differently, and its a matter of individual and not just your opinion. There are people who rely on wild game to feed their families, should a family suffer because someone illegally let their dog off the leash in the woods? What if they're intentionally doing it because they hate deer hunts?

Again, this is all talking in extremes, but thats the point. Nothing is black and white. Just because you love dogs and could never imagine killing one, doesnt mean that Uncle Jimmy who lives on a farm with a stray problem gives to craps about lassie. Sucks but its the reality.
