No, it was not Alan Smithee who made the 1000 dog post. That was Kid Rock.

This is what he said:

I would kill 1,000 dogs to save the life of my child.

Wouldnt you?

This is your response:

No, I wouldn't kill a thousand dogs to save my child. I find that morally repugnant, and cannot imagine a scenario where that would be my dilemma. I would choose my child over a dog if I only had time to push one of them out of the way of an oncoming truck or rescue one of them from a fire, however.

The first sentence seems pretty emphatic to me. The second sentence does not repudiate nor does it invalidate the first.

I just wanted the record clear on this.

If you wouldn't take such absolutist positions, you wouldn't have to backtrack and qualify your position later.
