I love dogs, like everyone else, but isn't this all a little bit much? Shouldn't they be considering solutions for humanely euthanizing the dog so it doesn't have to die of thirst/starvation? Argon gas would fit the bill. It's heavier than air, so it would sink to the bottom of the borehole, and it's widely available due to its' use as a shielding gas for welding. Most importantly, it would be humane and entirely painless for the dog-- far more humane than leaving the poor animal down there for days or weeks waiting to be rescued.

If you want to humanize something most of us eat would you want that done to you? or would you want every effort made? If you think dogs (and other such animals) are edible why would you object to just filling it in with dirt? You'd slit it's throat normally and cut it's flesh off it's body to eat but you won't suffocate it in 60 seconds by burial? You need to pick a side.

  "most of us" do not in fact eat dogs.

    Dogs, lambs, pigs, veal, cows etc. do I really need to spell it out? Yes I know Muslims, a big part of the population won't eat dog or pork etc. But not because they are considered purer, but they are considered impure. Vegetarians/vegan are a minority for now.

      You're suggesting the only people who don't eat dogs, are Muslims? Are you high or is this some kind of weird troll?

        No, I'm using dog, lambs, pigs, veal, cows interchangeably. I'm saying they are not interchangeable for Muslims but it's a moot point. The greater apes / humans are not interchangeable. There's also a argument pigs also might not be. As an aside to how you read my question I've yet to meet a person who won't eat dog who eats meat, I'm sure they exist but I'd guess they generally are not very educated.
