What would you do if someone killed your dog?
 

Local news .... a "Rescue Squad" worker gets out of his truck and immediately shoots and kills a German Shepard who belongs there (also a service/support animal) and approached him. Cops do this too .... I had one "brag" to me about doing so once :(.

I'd be going to jail ....

Baz lives near the beach. Plenty of sharks in FL. I'm picturing Baz in a boat off shore chumming...

It depends on who and why.

We delayed the inevitable with our dog’s euthanasia yesterday because she has perked up a bit. We know it’s temporary but she still has a few good days left in her.

"I emptied my mag because I was afraid for my life"

"But he was tied to a chair, and you appeared to start with the extremities and work your way up over a period of time!"

Well, yeah. :confused:

File charges of animal cruelty against that pos........

Several years ago I was in court and overheard a case where guy had killed a dog. He lived in the same neighborhood as the DA. Another neighbor's dog had gotten loose and came to his yard and impregnated his dog (I would say ***** but it would get censored). So his solution was to walk down the street with a shotgun and kill the dog that screwed his dog.

I suspect that in most places these days, killing a family pet is a criminal offence.

'Zactly........

UB I had a yellow Lab that was 14+ years ago .... I dug her grave in mid-January knowing the end was near and in case the ground was frozen later. Came home from work and she was fine .... went back out and an hour later she wasn't .... I made a call to my vet friend for a "house call" .... he came over. It was time....

Best to you ....

I think those charges were filed against the "rescue squad" guy ..... but against a cop .... good luck!

I'm also in the "depends" camp. Here, dogs killing or chasing livestock get the death penalty. Deep down, dogs are pack animals. To a sheep farmer, a pack of Fidos can be and is every bit as harmful as a pack of coyotes or wolves. In a case of dog vs. human? You'd need to take every case on an individual basis. Was the human being attacked? Was the human rightfully there when being attacked?

Hey buddy! No one asked you to apply sense or logic to the question! Who the heck do you think you are? :D

if its a cop, there is nothing you can do. they can do whatever they want to, because they "feel" threatened.

in any other profession, making a decision because of an emotion would be laughed at, and should be.

In this case, and another one a few weeks back involving a cop, the dogs that were shot were not attacking ... just barking. Instead of "backing off", and out of the dog owner's yard, they shot and killed the owner's pet.... by choice imo.

Any dog worth anything is gonna be a dog and bark at a stranger who enters their yard .... my Lab would too. An "attack" is a different matter entirely .... but it is truly a case-by-case basis.

Shoot a human? Yeah....let the criminal justice system handle it.


My dog? An eye for an eye....and I don't mean his dog either!

I strongly disagree with this generalization. You make it sound as if this is done on a regular basis as if it is a right of passage.

That was not my intent .... but it happens. I never implied anything, but mentioned LEOs, because there is no recourse for the dog's owner. Two incidences involving cops have been on the local news .... the other was my own tennant .... never made the news.

It is NOT a regular thing .... far from it.

interesting choice of words.

you are of course familiar with cops who decided that killing people was a rite of passage and something to brag about: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/officers-vallejo-california-bent-badges-mark-each-fatal-police-killing-n1235374

why would we expect cops to be more professional about dogs than, you know ... people?

Marcus Luttrell chased the scumbags who shot his dog across three counties, imploring the cops, while on the line with a 911 operator, to catch them before he did or there would be a gunfight.

Three dog shooters vs. Marcus Luttrell. Kinda like Captain Redlegs Terrill and five men going after Josie Wales, or the local (to Hope, Washington) National Guard versus John Rambo.

Wrong question to ask.

If it is my dog, it is also my wife's dog. Someone was to shoot her dog, they would need to leave the country, and even then, they better maintain situational awareness at all times or they would just disappear and be reincarnated as alligator crap.

Wife knows where the local hog farm is. The Frenchie is all she has left from her late brother. I am not sur the perp would be dead when tossed in with the hogs.

So would I... Move over John Wick. :mad:

He looks like a cool dog Baz but he's Australian so...

:cool:

Thanks for this, Norm.....

I love the 10 seconds of total silence after he says "I'm not letting these guys go they just murdered my dog."

You would be seeing me on the evening news in hand cuffs.

This is a typical incinedairy forum thread that will never end well. You all know the cowboy keyboard is going to get struck. Some topics should just be left alone. Sorry, KC, but this is on you.

BTW, a man here in Long Beach went to a neighbor's fence and dropped a cement building block on a small dog killing it. They gave him a year in jail. IDK if he served his time.

I prolly shouldn't start threads after watching the local news at noon ;)...

Or in the early morning ...

Biden has a GSD that bites .... Trump has probably never even had a dog, and HRC is a female dawg :D

PARF?

It is now... LOL ;)

In my humble opinion the people who have posted in this thread are venting.

But if this happened to their dog IRL? - Again IMO, nobody knows what they'd actually do!

Right, it depends a lot on circumstances. Some people may think they'd be mad, but their first focus may be the dog, going to hold/cradle the dog and then overcome by grief. I'm not sure that in a grief stricken state everyone would develop the anger to kill. Some folks, may go straight to rage and kill and then go to the dog and grief afterwards.

I have no idea what I'd do. I suspect seeing it happen or finding it after the fact would also play a big roll in your reaction.

Sounds like the plot line of John Wick.

I really like my dog. It would be a tough call.

This is obviously a very emotional issue for a lot of people. Many will respond that they would react more violently if someone shot their dog than they would if someone shot their spouse, or their children, or their mother. There is an innocence, a helplessness, a trust that we see in our pets that is often missing in people. We feel we must defend that more aggressively than we need to defend other humans, who ostensibly are more worldly and aware, and maybe a bit more capable of doing so for themselves.

There are absolutely legitimate self-defense situations, for sure, but there are also enough of the LEO "shooting the family dog" incidents to have earned a place in our national conversation. It has become ubiquitous enough to have generated its own internet memes, its own line of dark humor, and all of that. Much like the Mustang exiting the local cars and coffee. And, well, also like that, entirely overblown, as these things tend to get. But they do happen, enough to have gotten our collective attention.

The mind just boggles at the level of sheer cowardice, the abject lack of empathy, and sheer cruelty required to shoot someone's dog just because one can. Just unfathomable to me. Even more unfathomable is how this sort gets past all of the psych evaluations and whatnot required to get on any sort of police force, sheriff's department, federal alphabet soup agency, or anyone else with the authority to carry a gun in any sort of official capacity. It does not speak well for any agency that lets someone like this slip by and get hired. They need to do better.

God help anyone who shoots either half of my local planning committee.

Yup. Feed 'em to the pigs. No evidence.

Some people have hogs as pets...instead of dogs.
I wouldn't want my hog eating a human.

Have had two GSD's and two pugs, still have my second one a 3 year old named Tennessee Jed, like Jeff and other have mentioned I am not sure what I would do....

Could be a situation that calls for burying someone alive in a pine box.

Back in 1990 or so, someone stole my German Shepard puppy from in front of my house. Skipping the long story, I knew that he was stolen and had not wandered away and/or been run over.

I moved heaven and earth to get him back and I did, in a city with many millions of people. I put an ad in the paper offering a huge reward for his return, (thousands of dollars). I did not actually have any money at the time but I had a few bullets. I was getting my dog back. I was murderous, thank god it did not come to that.

If someone intentionally killed my dog, I would kill them and deal with the consequences. I don't have a photo handy of that dog but here is me with his parents on the day I got him: :cool:
