If they are attacking people or livestock, they need to get dead pretty quickly.

We also have a pretty serious rabies problem here in the U.S.

My issue is pet dogs, taken off their leashes on the trails at French Creek. The kids and I have had everything from poodles, to pit bulls and great danes running up on us out in the woods there. I don't know if they want to bite me or sniff my crotch, but I'm not cool with any of it.
I don't want to hurt the dogs, its the asshole owners fault... but it really pisses me off.

i think you'd be perfectly justified in spraying the dog, BUT expect problems. if you don't incapacitate the dog you now have a very pissed off animal. and i'm sure there are jackasses that would sue because poor Fifi wasn't treated with the proper respect that all living creatures *blahblahblah*

If that was my job, I would do it properly. If I didn't like having that job, or was not capable of doing it properly, I would seek a different job.

That I have little issue with. It was just the idea that dogs merely running about unattended get shot that I had a problem with. I am a dog-lover but even I can see that protection of human life and well being must take precedence over that of a dog. That said, if anybody hurt my dog, I'd hunt them down and tear them limb from limb :P

Just out of curiosity, what do you do, job-wise?
the title of Systems Administrator covers a lot...

Have you ever had to restrain some nutcase who is spitting in your face and scratching at your neck? Have you ever had to tie someone down in five point leathers while they defecate all over the bed, room and you? Have you ever been taken hostage at work? Just wondering.

My point is this--until you've done the actual job day in and day out--don't assume you know how to do my job 'properly'

There are now dog parks specifically for letting your dog off lead and to romp around with other dogs.

Ask your mail carrier. S/he should know the local laws.

And he didn't get attacked the first time. He got attacked on his way out.

I'm a computer guy. And no, I have never chosen to work a job that requires me to do any of the things you mentioned. If I had chosen that line of work, and discovered that I didn't have the disposition to carry out my duties without completely "losing it" and getting suspended, then I would seek a different line of work. Nobody is forcing people to work jobs they aren't suited for. Personal responsibility.
