They treat those wild dogs like garbage and often laugh when they die. But if domestic canines are killed for no ethical reason it makes headlines, like that Bosnian girl throwing puppies into a river.
Is this pure anthropocentrism, meaning that things are perceived as worthwhile only when they're directly associated with humans? I don't understand how someone could keep a Siberian husky as a cherished pet, yet casually gun down a wolf that's clearly of the same lineage.
