Note: I suggest you don’t look up “(type of animal) arrested,” because most of what pops up is horrible people arrested for doing terrible things to animals. (Although a couple cats have been “arrested” in modern times.) I just happened to remember the pig trials of yore.

Sadly this is not amusing as I had hoped at all … I should have expected as much. :-(
not to mention that when sharks attack people, they often go and kill a shark in retaliation. same goes with dogs who attack people.
this sounds like you are judging individuals based on their membership in a class. this sounds like paternalistic speciesism.
That means we don’t have to have our own sense of morality 🤡
So let them out…?
