If you think on it a bit, I am sure you will see the error in that statement.
Example One:
I love dogs & cats, but many times the solution to a dog or cat problem is to kill them. For instance, the local shelter has limited space and can not hold an infinite number of critters indefinitely. Some of them (maybe most of them) end up being killed. Usually the least sociable first, then the old or infirm, then the healthy. Sure, we have programs to encourage sterilization, registration & chipping, and such. A couple decades past, we almost had it licked. Then new & different people, with little regard for responsible pet ownership, started to move in. Now it is worse than ever. And half the stray dogs look like APBTs or APBT mixes.
Example Two:
A farm dog, a beagle, got into the habit of killing my grandpa's chickens. He would not stop, despite many attempts to get him to quit. Eventually, that dog was put down, despite my grandpa's affections toward his dogs.
