I’d like to invite you to consider what the differences between dogs and human IRS employees might be. When you equate them, you are not being very charitable regarding their intelligence or moral agency.

That's not what they were doing and you know it.

Your comment history tells me you don’t use HN to have interesting conversations. Have a good day!

Even if that were true, that wouldn't change anything about what you are doing. Stop the bad faith engagement.

And the dog was keeping predators from plundering your livestock.

It's such an impulsive, nearsighted, and frankly child-like reaction.
