packsaddle Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Prosecution on a felony charge is appropriate. But the story is also a great demonstration of the need to prohibit his future access to firearms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR540Beaver Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Maybe when his wound heals, they can tie him in an old gunny sack and throw him in a lake or just drive him out on a country road and abandon him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR540Beaver Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 OGE, You have a point. I vote for the gunny sack and lake method. Ya know, we had an old mutt when I was growing up. She was a sweetheart. I got her the first day of first grade and we had to put her down due to cancer when I was a sophomore in college. My dad was raising 4 kids on a single paycheck and he saw spending money on pets as a luxury. Therefore, we never had old Chigger fixed. Everytime she went into heat, we did our best to lock her up. It rarely worked. She had 54 puppies over her lifetime. You can imagine I had a fun childhood with 54 puppies to play with. We gave every single puppy away free to good homes and never found the need to put a bullet in any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisely Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Granted that the puppy can plead self defense. Will the puppy be tried as an adult or in juvenile court? This is a pretty serious offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGreyEagle Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I think the puppy just filed a civil lawsuit with a motion to move the venue to San Francisco where it will charge a violation of civil rights and be awarded a lien against the perp's house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 "String him up. It'll teach him a lesson." Would that lesson teach him death?!, Does not seem like much of a lesson to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twocubdad Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Why is it a felony for this guy to do himself what the local animal shelter does 100 times a day. Is there a big difference to the dogs between the .38 and a needle? Just because some of us may find this distasteful we're going to put this guy in jail? Don't get me wrong, people who torture animal or neglect them to the point of starvation deserve what they get. But millions of animals are killed every day. Does the method -- as long as it is quick and humane -- really matter?(This message has been edited by Twocubdad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backpacker Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Damn smart dog if you ask me, the idiot got what he deserved. So the guy is taught a lesson I suggest he be neutered and thrown into a pound for about 6 months, then have him gassed with the other unwanted strays. Poetic justice would be served.

FScouter Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 "... he decided to shoot the 3-month-old shepherd-mix dogs in the head because he couldnt find them a home..." The real crime is breeding his dog without an advance plan for the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evmori Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 "Does the method -- as long as it is quick and humane -- really matter?" Would you shoot your dog instead of having it put down at a shelter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FScouter Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I'm not so sure how humane it would be to be locked up in a cage for 3 weeks waiting for death in the asphyxiation chamber. In my part of the country, farm animals raised for food by individual families are routinely killed with a bullet in the brain and no one is ever arrested and charged with a felony.

BadenP Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 F Scouter if you can't tell the difference between what this guy did to his dogs and what farmers do to their livestock being raised for food then I think you need to do a reality and morality check on yourself.
