Is it cruel to kick a robotic dog?
Do robotic sleeping dogs lie? - Aloof Schipperke
Do Robotic Dogs Dream of Chasing Electric Bunnies? - Bren
Not yet. - Eivind
It's along the same lines to me of: should cartoon child porn be illegal? The cruelty is on the soul of the perp which must leak out in other ways somehow. - Todd Hoff
I think I agree with the last part, so I guess you could be cruel to a current robot dog if you've thoroughly caninopomorphized it :) - Eivind
