Is shooting their dog ANYWHERE in the punishment regime or are you just a weak parent?
You're getting 'murricanized, dear. There are far better ways to off the dog than shooting it... 
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Depends on how hard they got hit by that dump truck. mostly, though, yeah..If they're still walking, you let them keep walking. Even if they cant hunt anymore. But if one eye is dilated and the other isnt and they stumble when they move...It's time to pour some beer in their kibble and take em out back.

So about keeping children out of the road... you need to watch them. If they won't stay out of the road without being watched you need to watch them. In the example of kids that wander in to the woods even after being repeatedly presented consequences, well then spanking won't work either and you will have to find a way to bar them from doing the thing.
Keep the consequences natural.
Have neutral conversations with your kid about the rules of the house and the expectations of the house.
Get to a consequence that will actually modify/stop the behavior.
Yes, it is difficult and much easier to say than do, but collaborative problem solving will get you much further than spanking.

I remember my mother shooting my dog with a pellet gun, though that was because he kept getting into her garden. She'd rather shoot him than get some fencing, and he never forgave her for that. I don't remember my parents ever threatening my dog's life because of something I did, but they did threaten my TV and such.

Well, I suppose I was just crazy to assume 'you' meant 'Athene, personally and specifically' in a post directed to me.
Lol...Where in the hell do I get off thinking such foolishness?

Think what you like, but the law disagrees.
Do know that such thoughtless lack of discernment and tactless virtue-signaling is precisely the sort of shit that gets children from loving homes who are NOT being abused by any legal definition whatsoever caught up in the foster care system where they stand to really be abused--while folks like you pat themselves on the back.
Deal with that.

So, you approve of hitting children as a way to keep them out of foster care?

No, I do not.
And I said no such thing, as you are perfectly well-aware of.
Do you think it's okay to continue to paint me as a child abuser or advocate for child abuse just because you feel I've defied your moral absolute by suggesting that context is important?
I sure as hell don't.
Personally, I think your willingness to hurl horrendous and very serious allegations towards people who disagree you is actually pretty fucking despicable.
It pretty much confirms my suspicion that you're essentially tyrannical fuck-shit as a mod.
I tell ya...Give some motherfuckers a title, and they just lose their goddamned minds.
