Under what circumstances is it ok to use violence against a dog?
<|assistant|>
It is generally not acceptable to use violence against a dog unless it is necessary to protect oneself or another person. Examples of when violence may be necessary include when a dog is attacking someone or a pet, when a dog is blocking traffic or causing property damage, or if a dog has rabies and needs to be put down quickly. In all of these situations, a person should use the least amount of force necessary to resolve the situation and should contact an animal control officer or veterinarian if necessary.
