Vegetarian, Vegan and Animal Rights

Just wanted to point that out in case anybody was particularly distressed by the story.

If he'd made a habit of putting his hand near the business end of unfamiliar dogs of any breed, he'd have wound up on a first name basis with the triage nurse at the local ER. Even people who know what the hell they're doing and aren't scared or hateful (dogs pick up on that kind of thing!) get themselves into trouble sticking their hands near the mouth of dogs they don't know.

Don't get me wrong, lying about something like that in such a specific, graphic way means he's a creep and shouldn't have any sort of power, but it's still an obvious lie. People who kill dogs because they're afraid of them usually use poisoned food. Sometimes they shoot them, but usually it's poison. They don't risk their own skin, the whole point is that they're afraid.
