You'd rather those that have been deemed finished as working dogs whilst still young in real terms be killed rather than rehomed as pets to enjoy years of loved retirement then?

To the OP. Like others say, sodding owners not sodding dogs.
But shared paths........ The clue is in the name. You don't always get the responsible parties being responsible to your standards whether with pets, kids, on bikes, Rollerblades yaddy yaddy.

ffs - shared path ! Is it really that unreasonable for a dog, or child fir that matter to be able to run freely on a shared path without cyclists running into 'em Mr Toad like. For the record I don't even have a dog, nor a child, but the priority of might thing is just dead wrong

Interesting you specifically caveat the quadcopters.
Care to share why?
Not been reading the "popular press" by any chance ?-))

You have bought a road bike, ride on the roads...or share the shared paths. bearing in mind all other users have priority over cyclists
True. Cyclist need to give way to pedestrians on shared pathways and dog owners need to keep their dogs under control ( that does not necessarily mean on a lead however )

Well dodged but not.the point at all.
You're advocating killing perfectly healthy dogs many of which are barely teenagers in human terms.
You want to talk numbers not morals or ethics, so you start: how many perfectly healthy dogs killed because they can no longer fulfil a working or sporting role to the highest level is acceptable?
Do you have the same distasteful eugenic attitudes to racehorses, battery hens, retired racing cyclists not making a positive contribution to society?

So you won't answer a simple question then. Says it all.

Yes, it say shouldbeinbed doesn't know what the hell they are doing, which is all anyone needs to know.
Try reading people's posts and following rational discussion hints and tips. Look up straw man and all the other logical fallacies in your replies to me.
Then you might be worth talking to.

I did read your post, you accepted the existence of working dog but objected to dogs as pets.
Working dogs do not work until they die, they cease to be useful to their employers' often young in life.
Logicality therefore what happens to them in your (aptly) tinpot world?
You make a distasteful statement, receive fair challenge on it, fail to answer a simple question arising from your own attitude and get increasingly rude and evasive to avoid justifying the conclusion of your own distasteful prejudice. Typical bully behaviour.
If you can't stand or justify even the slightest challenge to your prejudice without getting so obnoxious then maybe it's not one you should air in public.
I'm putting this on ignore now to save further thread derailment or the mods intervention.
