As a JW for the last 36 years, I was interested in the references in this
thread and sorry that I missed the start. My dog Charlie had to be put to
sleep as he got cancer around Jan this year. In an attempt to keep my mind
in the present and not suffer the loneliness of missing my dear friend, I
started taking in other peoples' dogs while their owners were on holiday.
I have searched our indexes and the JW's CD for any reference to the hunting
habits of either domesticated canines or their wild cousins -- without
success. I am curious then about the reference(s) mentioned. I am beginning
to wonder if the words were a quote from another source.
We believe that all animals are gifts from God and that they should
therefore be treated with respect. For sure we do not slit their throats as
animal sacrifices to appease our God, Jehovah. That ended when the Temple in
Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans, I believe. In truth, I cannot help
but wonder why there should be any mention of any religious group in this
NG. And anyway, the practise had nothing to do with Christians but Jews who
rejected the "new covalent" and Islam. Anyway, enough of the soapbox stuff.
How about we get back to "dogs.behaviour"?

Those who wish to pet and baby wild animals, "love" them. But those who
respect their natures and wish to let them live normal lives, love them
more.

Lovely. Mayhaps you should learn something about what
Jewish law says (and has said since well before the founding
of Islam) before you shoot off your ignorant mouth.

How do they keep their molecules together then?
