As silly as that response is, the fact is that whatever label you give them they are still property.

Dude, you've lost your marbles.

How so? Both are living creatures that people agree to take care of once they get one (kid or dog.) If dogs are gonna be viewed as property, there needs to be a designation between living property and inanimate property like cars and lawnmowers. I see way too many cases on the news where dogs are mercilessly tortured day in and day out and all the perpetrators get is a slap on the wrist. Society is getting more and more evil and laws need to be created to properly punish those people who need to be separated from the rest of society. Whether it be crimes against dogs or humans, punishments need to be much harsher.

Dude, you are insane. Seriously, you might want to seek mental help.

If I owned horses (living creatures with feelings) are they property? I don't know if you know it or not, but horses have "personalities" and pretty much act like "big dogs" when it comes to their owners.

What about the cows that graze my land (owned by someone else) are they property? The cows are living creatures with feelings and have gotten used to me enough to where they will come right up to me when I go into the pasture. I haven't chosen yet, but part of my lease agreement with my "neighbor" who owns them (they are his property) is that I get the meat from one of them when they are ready to slaughter.

So what makes a dog different from a horse or a cow (or any other animal for that matter)?

For the record, my children were my "property" up until they reached the age of 18.

There is a major difference between livestock and companion animals. Livestock are used for food and companion animals are not.

I know many people that would disagree with children being referred to as property.
