Just throwing it out there - The concept that animals act only mechanically and have no higher mental functions is starting to become obsolete. Animals have emotions, they have memories that they act upon, some have forethought, and all animals (even insects) have some form of rudimentary consciousness, varying in complexity. So as we discuss this, let's avoid the old worldview that the animals are simply fleshy robots. The animal mind (including our own
 ) is much more complex than we ever could have imagined. The dog could very well know the direct consequences of its actions.What if it's a criminal like John Wayne Gacy, who went to the gas chamber feeling no remorse for his crimes (his dying words were "kiss my ass"). If, for instance, to save his life, you had to kill a dog that has done heroic deeds, would you?

We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives.
