I flat-out disagree with this person.

A true man-eater just LIKES attacking humans, unprovoked, and will go after ANY human it sees (except maybe its owner) and is a 100% danger to human beings.

A dog that is happy under every other conceivable circumstance, but is jealously guarding its own fresh, bloody kill is just being a dog. Every single creature on this earth needs "its own private space" for certain things, and I think it is disrespectful to a dog's BASIC NATURE to try to be pulling fresh, bloody kills from its mouth while it's eating them. (It is more than just disrespectful, it is stupid and unnecessary IMO.)

I for one think it's a whole lot more reasonable to just leave the damned dog alone, and let him enjoy his meal in privacy and peace, than it is to try to provoke a negative response out of the dog by yanking a kill out of its mouth ... and then to shoot the poor dog for doing what pretty much is the natural response any damned dog (with some pizzazz to his ass) would give when his very meal is snatched from him.

Getting rid of undesirable traits of needless aggression is one thing; being a total control freak and trying to make a dog devoid of any sense of self (and self-preservation) is quite another IMO.
