>>884659>an approaching animal constitutes an attack>good thing I'm clever and will disable and possibly accidentally kill someone else's property because I'm a paranoid, insecure manlet You realize any court in the world will lay down a nasty sentence for someone who killed a pet without provocation?
>B-but your honor, it was r-running at me!>The jury finds you guilty of being a scared little faggot, son. Enjoy your enormous fines and possibly jail time on animal cruelty charges.I mean... If the animal bit you, sure, blow it away with a fucking rocket launcher if that's what your dog phobia requires. But most dogs are just dumb and friendly and want to say hello to new humans they encounter. Attacking them on sight is quite possibly the stupidest and most evil way you could possibly deal with that situation. Unless it's a trained attack dog that knows how to go for the throat, or literally an actual saint Bernard on crack, there's no need to respond with maximum force. Hell, even if it DOES bite you, if you can't survive one dog bite and be smart enough to get a rabies shot after, what kind of an Internet toughguy are you? Our ancestors survived wolf maulings and shit. Grow a pair of nuts.
Honestly at this point it just looks like you're looking for excuses to hurt another person's animal. And that's just mean and sad.
