They should be.

Yes, they should, but I hope the President realizes a cornered dog is most dangerous.

I see it as a cornered rabid raccoon that must be put down, its head cut off, then taken to the local animal control. One of my pups had a run in with a raccoon that had been taunting her... the raccoon made a fatal mistake, it fell from its taunting perch. There was so much blood, my poor dad got to remove the dead raccoon in pieces from her jaws (she didn't want to let go), I was so afraid the raccoon got a bite on Luna. So we proceeded to wash her down to get the blood off and check for bites....not a one!!!!! The raccoon probably had its neck broken in the first couple of milliseconds, it didn't stand a chance.
