just think about all the dog abuse videos that circulate ********, with someone causing an abandoned dog to lose a leg because they didn't change their bandage ever, or to grow up without a snout because of some previous damage that the owner didn't want to fix, so they just left the dog to fend for itself.

Every time i see one of these videos, i rage, and then am amazed by the fact that the dog can not only recover, but go on to be a happy animal who brings happiness to others. And usually, these are cases where I would write the dog off as a total loss and assume they are going to die within a matter of days, regardless of how much help I receive.

So anyone who says this dude is in the fukin right to make the choice of whether someone else's dog lives or dies is a fukin heartless azzhole, or just absolutely and willfully ignorant. We aren't living in the 1800's anymore.



actually a very good argument considering a dog is considered property. you don't get to decide what happens with other people's property. The dog was not hurting anyone by laying on the grass bleeding. While it sucks that the dog was in pain, I'm sure the dog would have appreciated it if he could have been saved, instead of being killed. How do you know the owner wasn't on his way home as it happened? or just around the corner?

not to mention the story fukkin says another neighbor wanted to take the dog to the vet, but the dude took initiative and killed the dog anyway

stop being ****ing obtuse you idiot



there is a fukin reason the dude is being arrested now

lol the more I read into the article, the dumber this dude is.

ex-Coast guard and athlete, so that gives him authority to know when a life is beyond saving?
used a golf swing type hit that requires follow through for maximum impact, instead of the proper fukkin way a sledgehammer is supposed to be used? which would be the most humane way?

hit the dog on the back of the neck instead of striking through the skull?

EVEN ****ING ADMITS HE WOULD BE MAD IF SOMEONE DID IT TO HIS DOG?!

guarantee you I'm negging you as soon as I'm off recharge for you ****ing stupid response

This is350shades of gray my bros.

Maybe if you're a ****ty owner. The people that were driving the cars must be ****ing idiots and should be euthanized. I have no clue how you hit a dog on a neighborhood street, I hope they drive off a cliff.

Yes, I would have grabbed a blanket from my trunk and driven the doge to the ER vet.

oh wait AND after he did all this, he just went back in his ****ing home without calling cops, vet, owner, or anything. Keep defending his actions lmao.

Dog will be instinct mode and be biting/ mangling everyone that comes close to it, probably even its owner.

I had to sign in after 6 years to comment on this. You're completely right. The dumbass *******s in here saying the neighbour is in the right are out of their minds. You cannot make that judgment call for someone else's pet, it doesn't work like that. Not only that, this ****ing inbred looking redneck is the one making the decision, while other neighbours want to seek attention for the dog? LOL at anyone defending him - clearly not dog owners.

First of all, my dog doesn't get out. So the dumb**** saying it's not the owners fault at all is wrong. I've owned rottweilers my entire life and I make sure to take great care with them. I live around kids and schools, with a lot of car traffic. I'm not letting my dog go. If your dog gets under the fence, that's your screw up. If your gate is easily unlocked by annoying kids, still your fault. I don't have any of these issues because I take precautions necessary to ensure it doesn't happen.

just ****ing LOL at some of the replies ITT. Makes me rage. If you finished my dog off, even if he was barely breathing, without my permission I'd ****ing pistol whip you.

Strong first post, will rep on RC

Doesn't change anything. Owner's fault. Owning a pitbull they should be double cautious to make sure they contain the animal. If they had been more responsible the pooch would still be licking its own bum in happiness.

This. Owners own negligence is why it got hit by 2 cars

The owner IS irresponsible because his dog got out. Yes, he is automatically irresponsible and it cost the dog its life. On the other hand the dog could have attacked someone which would be grounds to put the dog down immediately. It's entirely on the owner.

If animals are breaking out of the zoo it's because they didn't take the necessary precautions to ensure that the animals don't escape. The zoo is responsible in these scenarios just like the owner is responsible in THIS scenario. We're not talking silverback gorillas, elephants, lions, rhinos, etc., it's a domesticated animal and with the proper fencing and precautions, it stays on the owner's property where it belongs. It's not rocket science.

If you buy a gun and your kid finds it and shoots himself, his friend, or family members, guess what? YOU'RE irresponsible. You should have locked it up and kept it inaccessible. Let me guess, "Oh well, these things happen, y'know you can't control kids!" Amazes me that people can just cast responsibility to the wind, your dog, your responsibility and if you can't fulfill that responsibility, you're...irresponsible.

I'm looking at my rotty's goofy ass rolling around next to me right now. If someone did that to my dog...LOL just ****ing LOL

You can be responsible for an action that doesn't automatically make you irresponsible, things outside of the owners control can cause a dog to get out.

Tree falls on fence
someone opens a gate
some mowing crew tearing your fence and leaving it
etc

I'm seriously mind blown at the inability to differentiate between the owner being responsible and irresponsible dog ownership.

would rep you if I wasn't still on r/c waiting to neg that previous dude.

can confirm, just thinking about this scenario happening to my dog who's safely at home makes me want to punch my computer screen. I'd be more than retaliatory if some stranger/neighbor actually did this to my dog.

.

ITT keyboard thugs admitting to premeditated murder

Christ finally someone that understands my argument. I was just pointing out we can't immediately label the owner irresponsible. He/she very well may be, on top of that accidents happen that also doesn't automatically make the owner an irresponsible owner. They are like many have pointed out responsible for the animal and responsible for it the results of anything that happens while it's off their property.

Great addition to this thread. Peanut gallery ass ****** Gtfo.

I'm assuming he was putting the dog out of it's misery? Yeah a sledge hammer doesn't sound very humane but it was quick.

If the dog was going to live then phuk that guy.

But the last thing I want is a dog to die from bleeding out or something like that.

Rip pupper

Of course it's on the owner. My argument was you automatically labeling the owner irresponsible because his dog got out. Animals get out. Animals escape from zoos with multi-million dollar enclosures and security staff with multiple layers of fencing. It happens it doesn't automatically make the owner irresponsible.
