well, that depends. your pet? just property.

harm or kill a police dog however? youll do 45 years in prison because thats not property, its a "K-9 cop"

double standards like this are how Rome burned.

I don't mind that being the punishment there so much as I mind that not being the punishment for someone who murders my pet.

Anything someone doesn’t like becomes a reason Rome burned.

Water pipes made of lead? Rome burned.

Invasions by barbarian tribes that I’m going to liken to modern immigration to push my anti-immigration stance? Rome burned.

Adoption of Christianity by Theodosius in 395AD? Believe it or not, Rome burned in 410AD.

“Double standards”? Rome burned.

This only works on people who’ve never opened a history book in their lives. Why would you try it here, where people are much more likely to be familiar with Roman history?

I read it more or less as hyperbole, but I have seen a lot of people mad over such things as double standards in policing lately.

It's sad that for some people animals are still just property
