Hunting Dogs

Check this out:


Apparently in Kosovo, a city has asked hunters to help get rid of packs of wild dogs that go around biting and attacking people, as well as looking cute and fuzzy, and having soft, fluffy fur and cold, wet, beep-able noses. Can you imagine? If this happened in the United States, there would be a civil war between the conservative gun nuts and the liberal animal rights people! It might be a tad one-sided, however, since the gun nuts seem to have a lot more guns for some reason. Hunters also would likely have hunting dogs that they could sick onto the animal rights activists, so you could conceivably have a situation where animal rights activists would be fighting animals to the death over the rights of the same type of animals. Hmmm… Oh, the irony. But seriously, if hunters went around shooting dogs here in America, they’d be hunted down like, um… well, like dogs, I guess. You know, come to think of it, this practice of hunting dogs couldn’t really be all that alien to our culture, or else where would we have gotten an expression like “hunt them down like dogs” from?
