Have you raised a kid? lets try another example, you get fed up with the puppies barking all day, you could legally kill them all in the spot (horrible I know, but some people do that).

Now compare that with raising a kid. If HE don't like the food and gets too thin, YOU may end in prison for kid neglecting. So you better cook nice food to your kids. Still think it's easier than a dog?

If you don't like raising the kid, you could look into boarding school or adoption. Admittedly that's more expensive than killing a dog, but still.

Also we were talking about maintaining a dog, not getting rid of it.
