Most robbers are probably not unethical enough to resort to killing pets in order to rob a house. Most robbers would probably rather just rob a house without dogs than one with dogs.
Dogs likely raise the barrier to entry for a robbery and criminals will usually just choose easier targets.
- protomyth 8y agoDogs raise a barrier, but these are people trying to rob your house. The ethical argument goes right out the window. If you are going to get a dog to be part of your family then do that, but getting a dog as a security system is just a poor idea.
- DyslexicAtheist 8y agoprobably depends. 2 or 3 is better than 1 in that case. Although where I live now we have gipsy gangs roaming the hoods and kidnap your dogs - then make you pay a ransome to get them back. If you don't pay you get an ear or the tail (or worse) on your porch. EDIT: small dogs can be an advantage in this case https://twitter.com/thegrugq/status/973969277647638529 https://twitter.com/thegrugq/status/973969277647638529
