Excerpt from My Pets
This is quite a likely thing to have occurred, and one you have no call to be ashamed of after all; so I will make bold to make all these several assumptions.
Such being the case, I have no doubt that, loving your dog and loving your fowls too, you deeply regretted you knew of no way of punishing the former adequately, short of beating him to death.
For beat your dog as you may, you cannot bring your poultry to life again. Besides which, the Bible expressly says that God desires not the death of a Sinner, but his repentance.
You object that in this precept God was not think ing about dogs. I say you are puffed up with the insolence of your supposed human superiority.
