Horrible Act Of Animal Cruelty.

I am confused as to what the petition is meant to do. The guy fired 3 shots in the middle of a public area whether or not it was in self defense the police still should have showed up and issued him a ticket. In Texas its against the law to fire a weapon above a certain caliber, basically no more then a bb gun, in a public area. I know this law also applies to many other States. It is their to keep someone from target practicing in their back yard and accidentally killing someone from one stray bullet. I know the law has to do with how close together the people's residences are and how much property is owned by each residence on average. So if the police didn't show up and issue a ticket to him when the event happened then the petition probably wont do anything because then that would prove that that police station can't do their job.

True, but if you get them used to kids when they're puppies then they usually act all right with them when they are older. Good thing about adopting our dog was that we were able to be told what kind of dog he was. He's great with our nephew and nieces so when we have kids, we know they'll be safe with him.

Yeah, I wish there was some more information so I could know for sure that my "vote" to see this guy prosecuted was definitely reaching the correct person/people.

my biggest thing is if you have a pitbull ITS AUTOMATICALLY A BAD AND MEAN DOG AND WILL CAUSE HARM TO OTHERS :( that grinds my gears so good. I love Pit boss <3 lol

Yeah... any animal can be trained to be as vicious as a stereotypical pit.

The park we take our dog to has about 8 pits that come too. People will leave when they come, or do their best to keep their dog away from the pits, but the pit bulls are actually the nicest, most well-behaved dogs out of all the dogs in the park. Yes, they are known to be naturally mean, but a lot of a dog's personality comes from how they are raised. Shitty ppl = shitty dog. Pits are awesome sauce.

I know im getting a pitbull once i move to flordia :D

I've never even seen a dalmation irl..

Some lady called my dog mean because her dog stole his stick and he growled at her little rat. My dog is super evil, which is why we make him guard the door.

I feel as if we aren't being told the full story about this issue from that one article. I'm not saying the man was right in shooting the dogs, but why was he told to stay inside his house if a couple of dogs were lose if they were so friendly? Seems to me like there could have possibly been an incident with those dogs before which caused the man to want to shoot them. Again, not saying he was right, but with that short of an article we are definitely missing the full story

The only dog i really dislike are chihuahua's. They bark at anybody and sometimes they bite you to i think they just have a im small i gotta be tough personality

This is why I'm Vegan. I don't want to contribute to this..

They're no worste than the people who eat meat.

Edit: Signed.

Signed..... thats so cruel, i really really really do hate this horrible world we live in sometimes, because of so many *** up people living around us :X

Is it just wrong that I haven't seen it >.< Lassie film/films that is :d.

signed.

Like I said I want some real info on this article before I sign a petition. Dalmatians are considered an aggressive bread they are also almost impossible to get pure bred because of all the in breading. We had one once but it died of a heart attack on our back porch one afternoon due to in breading, was a very sad moment. Also maybe a seemingly friend great dane could have ripped his head up for no reason when he was 7 years old resulting in over 300stiches, multiple blood transfusions, and being in a coma for a week after almost being killed by it. This could give him a reason to have excessive fear over them.

I agree, but he didn't have to chase the dog and gun it down xP

He could have just stayed inside like he was told.

Edit: The thing that bothers me is.. The people who eat meat that are commenting about how terrible this is. Hypocrites!

I read the article, it doesn't state anywhere if he was mentally impaired. And if he was - I could see why he chased down the dog.

And even why this happened in the first place.

Why was 911 called?
Why did the neighbor tell him to stay in the house?

What was the full situation?

If it was stated on previous pages, let me know. I don't feel like reading boo hoo's atm, I have a headache.

According to the OP, the dogs got out by accident... Meaning they were intentionally retrained?

Then they were never any harm?

Why would people call 911 on 2 harmless dogs wallowing around the neighborhood "tired and wagging their tails" yelling at other neighbors to stay inside?

Eurra beat me to it.

Slitting the throat of cattle has been done for thousands of years and is an effective way to kill them for food. Not every country has the the resources to kill cattle in a more "humane" way. Also, not everyone has the "luxury" to be vegan in order to survive.

PS. love the shock video you posted when your avatar is a picture of Ronald McDonald being shot in the head

Signed and put it up on my Facebook.

It's still animal cruelty.

Slavery has been done for thousands of years.. Does that make slavery right?

Edit: Taking out Ronald McDonald would be a great start to getting rid of animal cruelty xP

It's not animal cruelty if it's done for food. Grow up.

Just because they were kept in the house doesn't mean they were because they were mean dogs. We keep our dog in the house just because some people are scared of dogs, and you never know what ppl are going to do (as shown by the guy that shot these dogs). THere are a lot of ppl around us that let their dogs run around, and we don't know that those dogs won't hurt ours. Those kinds of dogs are expensive, I'd keep them in the house too.

If this guy was mentally unstable, then okay he deserves to be prosecuted assuming the dogs "were not doing anything wrong". But the fact he called 911 shows he has some level of restraint and intelligence.

If 2 dogs were running around my neighborhood and assuming they were unruly to the point where neighbors started havoc on placing an emphasis on safety where 911 calls had to be made, I don't care who's dog it is. If I have to protect my kids or others from getting harmed and 3 shotgun blasts was the solution to the problem during the heat of the moment, I would go with it any day.

They're huge *** dogs. I'd be a litte afraid even if I knew the dogs and they knew me.

It's a harsh reality we live in. Certain animals must die for others to survive. blah blah blah circle of life. Comparing killing for survival to slavery is a bit exaggerated and kind of a cop out argument. I guess my main point is i value human life over animals when it comes down to choosing one or the other.
