Our nonviolent tactics are not as effective. We ask nicely for years and get nothing. Someone makes a threat, and it works.

[Dogs] would pursue their natural lives in the wild ... they would have full lives, not wasting at home for someone to come home in the evening and pet them and then sit there and watch TV.
