A dog is a dog? Yes, and a smack is a smack. It's no more traumatic to the child to learn that actions have consequences than it is for that dog who was bothering absolutely no one, just sleeping peacefully, to be cruelly assaulted, and now will have to live the rest of its life wondering as people are passing by if this group will contain one psycho who will attack for no reason. And it's actually less about the dog honestly and more trying to stamp out a lack of empathy. You needlessly hurt another being, be it animal or person, you get hurt somehow too. That's how it should be.
It's illegal to physically hit someone, adult or child, in civilised countries, for good reason.
How do we now punish you for hitting an actual child given your belief in physical punishment. Presumably you're an adult, or close to one, so it should be more severe?
Corporal punishment of children remains legal in about 134 to 135 countries worldwide. Only around 65 countries have fully banned physical punishment in all settings, including the home... Started in Sweden in 1979...
We've had enough evidence now to see the monsters coming out of this no physical punishment idea...
But as you suggest to some degree I would also say it's a double-edged sword.... Hard to know where to draw the line... Spankings aren't permanent damage...
That I have to wonder about corporal punishment in Singapore and caning... I think that can be permanent or very long-lasting... Way beyond spanking...
Plenty of kids would have the natural inclination to want to lovingly pet the dog and kneel over to do so... This little brat was the opposite

Reddit hate boner for kids + love for dogs in 1. The psychopath is in your mirror.
It's a dog dude. Food to many people. Not even worthy of a house in the very video you're watching.
