Under what circumstances is it ok to use violence against a dog?
<|assistant|>
It is usually considered acceptable to use violence against a dog under the following circumstances: when the dog poses an immediate threat of serious physical harm to a person or another animal; when the dog is protecting its territory, or in response to aggressive actions from the dog; when used as a last resort after all other attempts to deescalate the situation have been unsuccessful. In all other cases, violence against a dog should be avoided.
