Ah, Oren, I'm not able to rep you right now, but I agree completely. The rules are the rules, and frankly Lavendar has been given MORE than enough chances to change his behavior.
On the original topic, I can't view the video, but I was thinking about this thread at work today. In some instances, it can be so hard to define what is animal abuse. I've been accused of being abusive because I train my dog with a remote shock collar. To me, it's a highly effective training method that garners FAST results and leaves my dog with a LOT more freedom than the average dog because I know I can 100% count on his recall up to 1/2 mile. To others, it's abusive. So...I hesitate to judge too quickly without knowing all sides of the story.
