If you used it on my dog it would be the last time you ride your bike!
I take it, from that statement, that you would contemplate permanently disabling a human being, because they sprayed your dog with a substance that does not in any way usually have any permanent effects, fearing attack?
And risk long incarceration at Hey Majesty’s Pleasure?
I like dogs, and am totally against any cruelty to animals. But I place human beings above dogs. I can appreciate that a family pet can be incredibly important, but people need to get the right sense of proportion here: A dog is not a human being.
Also, if someone used pepper spray on your dog, and you reacted angrily and aggressively toward them, it’s quite likely they’d spray you, too. And with you and your dog now incapacitated, possibly seek to harm you further.
I can understand your sentiments; no-one wants to see animals harmed unnecessarily. But by saying you’d ‘make sure they never rode a bike again’ just belittles you, and makes you appear an irresponsible thug. I suspect, however, that you made this statement without thinking it through, and I’m sure you woon’t actually act in such a manner.
