If my dogs ever tried to kill me, I’d just pin them both down. That’s the benefit of not having insanely powerful dogs.

IMO you shouldn’t have a dog that you can’t physically restrain. Any dog can snap and you need to be able to physically stop them if that happens.

So huge dogs should just remain ownerless?
Send 'em to God.
You are condoning killing dogs simply in response to their size?

I bet more cows are killed in a year than all shelter dogs on earth.

So, for most folks, the “no death” argument is silly

Cows are killed for meat. Are you suggesting we should kill dogs for their meat?

Dogs aren’t put down for their meat, so the discussion of the acceptability of putting dogs down is not based on their meat.

Thus, the point is about humans simply killing animals.

This isn’t about the human imposed utility, it’s about if it’s fine for humans to decide what animals live and die. Humans don’t need beef to live, there are other foods, so humans make a human centric choice to kill cows.

Since humans are deciding what animals.live, based purely on human wants, why would dogs be free of that assessment?

Yes they were clearly suggesting that. Any honest reading would have arrived at that conclusion.
What is the difference between a cow and a dog that killing either is okay?
Cow farms supply food for humans. I’m not saying that’s the most ethical thing in the world, but it is done. Would dogs serve the same purpose? They would produce less, lower quality meat per head.
Oh, from an efficiency standpoint.
