Oh so if a dog is mentally unstable its OK to use scare tactics on it?

If a dog is so unstable you can't "reason" with it, it needs to be euth'd. Not beat into "submission" and so much fear put into it that it mentally shuts down. Yes, mentally shut down is what Cesar calls "calm submission". Dogs that don't think and don't act and don't piss without permission. Even if its a complete and utter psychopath knucklehead it still deserves to be treated with compassion. Being a jerk doesn't give others the right to smack you around in retribution.
