By my guess this is a domesticated dog, not a wild dog, and a dog living within a household, is domesticated.Quote:

I guess I'm the only one who feels the dog did something wrong. I suppose we should all let a dog run wild. It's a good thing it was a bunny, and not a hyperactive child, huh. ;)
Yeah, leave the dog out of it. If I were a dog, and I saw a giant bunny...dinner is served.Quote:

No one is saying that we should let dogs do whatever they want, but its too late for punishment. The dog is just not going to comprehend what he did wrong. If he had the bunny in front of the dog, and it was right after the attack he could punish all he wants.
You cant tell me that you believe dogs are as smart as humans (unless youre a PETA fuckhead), so comparing them to us would be like apples an oranges.
Nochowderforyou, it's hard to say that the dog did something wrong. After all, it's brain is no more than a jumble of instincts, urges and perceptions. It doesn't have the necessary, umm, stuff to make judgement calls and it definately doesn't have any morals. :p
Yes, but with training, it can resist acting on his extincts. With my dog, I can call him, no matter what he's doing, and he'll come back. It's up to the owner to train it.Quote:

Just because other beings aren't as smart as other beings, doesn't make them a lower form of life. If that were true, I guess handicapped people are no good to us, so why have them around? We might as well just get rid of everything that isn't as smart as us special humans. :rolleyes:
It's embrassing when a handicapped person can work 40 hours a week, a dog can aid the blind, while us humans, are killing off this world and everything on it.
def dont punish ur dog now. if ur gona discipline a dog u have to do it right after the fact. for example if it shits on the carpet u make sure he is lookin right at the shit as you punish him so he know why hes being punished, and dont wait a few days thats just wrong. its a dog. if u punish him now he wont kno why and he will probly just become scarred of u and that would suck
you cant punish the dog for what it did. i dont care who you are , dogs are gonna go after bunnies if theres no one around to tell it not to. punishing that dog would be like punishing an infant for shitting its pants.
people that 'punish' their dogs shouldnt have dogs in the first place.
usually dog toys are around the same size as a small bunny. so the dog probably thought it was a chew toy.
Uh, did you read the thread? This was a GIANT bunny.
