Question: A dog you own turns on you and bites you. You kill the dog; is that cruelty to animals?
Answer: That depends on how you kill the dog. If you are acting in self defense while the dog is attacking you, then it is not cruelty to animals. However, the facts regarding how the dog was killed will need to be examined. Was the dog shot with a gun? Was the dog beaten to death? Those facts will determine whether or not your act went "over the line" of self defense and turned into cruelty. It will also be important to determine what injuries the dog caused you when it bit you.

If a dog bites a human, not a nip a bite. The human should have every right to kill the dog.
