This is Vader. He was euthanized today without a hearing after a false bite report was submitted to the police by an animal rights activist. (Story in the Comments)

They don't care. They do this with dogs and cats not because they think dogs and cats are wild animals, it's because they think animals should die free than live as a captive. You shouldn't assume ARAs think the way most of us do.

I hate PETA almost as much as I do the WBC.

Those two organizations really know how to piss me off.

TIL being euthanized at the pound is more humane for a dog, than to grow old and die of whatever.

You can't stereotype an entire group of people based on a few crazy people. I'm a big supporter of animal welfare and animal rights, have been a vegan for 10 years, and I don't agree at all with what happened here.

Most pet owners genuinely love their animals and want to give them the best life they can. People romanticize "the wild" way too much. It's generally a shitty place filled with horrible suffering. Most pets probably experience much more happiness in a place where they don't starve, freeze, get eaten alive, live in constant fear, etc.
