Anyway i just said these things, we can see things in different angles, but i believe the person who lost the dog, knows how much he suffers, even if we argue about this, we never will feel the same until one day we lose our pet. (i dont have pets here!) there's a saying person who has the wound knows how the wound is!
Apart from that im also animal lover, if the same thing happen to me i might be acting same way. ( but not that much money)
