“If there’s something people shouldn’t do, then the law should forbid doing it.”

EXACTLY. Thank you, @larkenrose for exposing this fallacy so succinctly.

I am reminded of a walk one day with some friends in Sofia, Bulgaria. There are many “free” dogs there, happily roaming the streets not bothering anyone.

One of these free dogs came to us and lay down in the sun, belly up, to be pet. We took his invitation and pet that calm sweet “good boy” for several minutes.

Moments later, a loud continuous terrible barking came from behind a fence. It was another dog, angrier than sin, barking his voice hoarse from his caged little life behind the fence of his “owners” house.

People are a lot like those dogs...
