I second that!

Its the same here in Canada. You can kill an animal, you just cannot torture it. Its perfectly legal to walk up to an agressive dog & beat it to death with a 2x4. That happened about 10yrs ago or so. A GSD bit a child (fairly baddly too, didn't maul, but the childs face was a mess), the father picked up a 2x4 & killed the dog. The death has to be quick, as in the father couldn't beat the dog near death, walk away to let the dog die.. The father had to keep hitting it until it was dead.
