There must be no mercy for the drowned dog. Now he is asking for his tail, begging passers-by for forgiveness and mercy. Some of us poor passers-by, who think they are very conscientious and noble, have stood up and spoken out and let this trouble go. If you let him go today, he will bite people again in the future.

Excerpts from the original article:

Second Discussion There are three types of "drowned dogs", most of which can be beaten.

Today's commentators often compare "killing a tiger" with "killing a drowned dog", thinking that both are close to cowardice⑤. I think those who "kill the tiger" pretend to be timid and brave, which is quite funny. Although it is unavoidable that they are cowardly, they are so timid that it is endearing. As for "catching a drowned dog", it is not that simple. It depends on the type of dog and how it fell into the water. There are probably three reasons for falling into the water:

(1) The dog slipped and fell into the water;

(2) The dog was knocked down by others;

(3) Knock down the downer yourself.

If you encounter the first two types, you will agree to fight, which is naturally too boring, or even close to cowardice; but if you fight hard with the dog and beat it into the water with your own hands, you will beat it severely even though you are using a bamboo pole and it is in the water. , it seems that it is not too serious and cannot be discussed in the same way as the previous two.

It is said that a brave boxer will never hit his opponent who has fallen to the ground. This is a model for us. But I think there is one more thing that needs to be added, that is, the opponent must also be a brave fighter. After a defeat, he may regret himself and never come back again, or he must retaliate in a grand way, of course it is fine.

As for dogs, we cannot use this as an example to compare them with equal opponents, because no matter how wildly they howl, they actually do not understand any "morality"; besides, dogs can float on water, so they must It still had to climb to the shore, but if you weren't careful, it would shake its body first, splashing water all over people's faces, and then escape with its tail between its legs. But then the temperament remained the same.

Honest people regard its falling into the water as being baptized, thinking that it must have repented and will never bite anyone again. This is really a big mistake.

In short, if it is a biting dog, I think it can be beaten, whether it is on the shore or in the water.

Thirdly, the pug cannot be beaten unless it falls into the water.

The Pier Dog is known as a Pug, but in the south it is called a Western Dog. However, I heard that it is a specialty of China. It often wins gold medals in dog racing events of all countries. According to the "Encyclopedia Britannica" In the dog photos, quite a few of them are our Chinese pitbulls. This is also a kind of national glory. But aren’t dogs and cats enemies?

Although it is a dog, it is very much like a cat. It is compromise, fair, harmonious, and even-tempered. Come on. Therefore, it is loved by rich people, eunuchs, wives and ladies, and its seeds are endless.

Its career is just to be supported by nobles with its clever fur, or when Chinese and foreign ladies go to the streets, they have thin chains tied around their necks and heels.

You should hit it first if it falls into the water, and then hit it from there; if it falls into the water on its own, you might as well hit it from there, but if you are too friendly, you can naturally not hit it, but it is not necessary. Sigh for it. If pugs can be tolerant, there is no need to beat other dogs, because although they are very snobbish, they are still a bit like wolves, with wild nature, and they will not sit on the fence like this.

The above is mentioned in passing and does not seem to have much to do with this question.
