Dogs don't ever kill? Wolves or coyotes either?

My Mitzi, one of the sweetest dogs ever, who just loved people. She once found a baby rabbit on one of our walks. The little baby was just squealing there, trying to hide in the grass and her tail was just a wagging. She was gonna have some fun hurting that rabbit.

It was I, the homicidal human, despicable me, who said to her, "no, you cannot do that".

Yeah "slapping insects" is just so evil. Why not just let them feed on me and carry diseases and such? I kill plantain in my yard. If I didn't, the plantain would kill the grass. Oh, and who was it who planted those lilacs and that maple? And watered them daily when it was super hot and dry?

Despicable me.

If only I had been born something harmless and loving, like a rattlesnake or something.
