Uncooked bones *ground up* might be OK, but a whole bone, especially something the size of a chicken bone, still presents a choking hazard.
Shock tactic? No, it's pointing out the fallacy in your arguments. Here's another example for you. "Well I've driven drunk dozens of times and never had an accident. Therefore it must be safe to drive drunk."
The point is that just because you happen to have fed bones to your dog, and your dog happens to have avoided dying, does not mean that it is impossible or even improbable for a dog to die if it eats bones, which is what your argument seems to put forth. I've narrowly avoided serious accidents myself - that doesn't mean that whatever I was doing to get me into that situation is totally safe and that I should do it again.
Um. . .

Dude, you seriously need to start reading what's in the thread. It's not just about my dog, it's about 777's, mtsgsd's and the tens of thousands of other dogs.
Why do we need mythbusters? Are you going to do the experiment?
I doubt any of them are grinding up the bones.
Fallacy is a fancy word. I've been pointing out the fallacy in all your points with legitimate facts in all my replies to you so far. Why do you keep talking about drink driving? Are you mad??
"The point is that just because..."
You're repeating yourself here again. It's not "impossible or improbable" for any dog to die at anytime doing anything - anyway.
I'm just warning you in case you ever try to pet Calvin. He's a very placid dog but I do believe he'll bite you.
