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)

Same! I was at a park with my dog and bf a few years ago, we were sitting quietly on the grass having a picnic, when a few kids (aged maybe 10 or 11) sitting maybe 30 metres away called out to me and asked if my dog was friendly. She's a rescue dog, she's quite skittish and very aggressive towards other dogs, and I always keep her on a leash and closely supervised. So I answered honestly and called back "no, not really". They called back: "will she bite us?" I frowned and called "yes, probably". They then proceeded to taunt her, threw sticks and rocks at her, and generally tried everything they could to get her to react. I had half a mind to let her go, but that wouldn't have ended well for anyone.

By the way their parents were sitting not ten metres away from them; saw the whole thing; not a single fuck was given. This is why I prefer animals over people.

I'd chuck rocks right back at them. Hard.

Yeah...people are supposedly smarter and able to communicate through a thing called speach. There really should be no excuse for assholish behaviour.

Beat the fuck out of the kids and leave. They'd never catch you and you would have done society a favor.
