[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Dog owned by step daughter of Gabby Giffords gets loose and kills baby sea lion in CA (Page 1 of 2)

LAGUNA BEACH An American bulldog owned by a stepdaughter of former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords attacked and killed a baby sea lion in Laguna Beach on Saturday, officials said.

One of Giffords' adult step-daughters was walking the dog with a friend at 1:42 p.m. when the dog knocked her down and got away, said Sgt. Eric Lee of the Laguna Beach Police Department. That's when the dog attacked the sea lion at Goff Beach, he said.

The dog belongs to Giffords' stepdaughter, who lives in Texas, said Jen Bluestein, a senior adviser to Americans for Responsible Solutions, a political action committee launched by Giffords and Kelly.

Giffords and her husband, pilot and astronaut Capt. Mark Kelly, were not with the dog at the time, Lee said.

No charges are being filed because it was an accident, officials said. Sea lions often rest on the shore, Lee said.

Though witnesses attempted to save the sea lion, the animal succumbed from its injuries.

Bulldogs should only be allowed for hunting, and then in the singular. They have no place as defense weapons.
The Framers had no intentions of the populace owning canines of such destructive potential.
Beaches should be dog-free zones.
How many aquatic mammals must die before sanity takes over?

Bulldogs are NOT sporting breeds, they are bred for war, just like Rottweilers, Pit Bulls and all other fighting breeds. If someone thinks they need a bulldog, they are better served by a Labrador Retriever. Train them to bark twice from a balcony, that will cause any burglar to poop his pants because Labrador Retrievers are quite scary and loud.

Only the police and military need dogs like a Bulldog.

For every bulldog "lawfully" owned, over twelve inner-city preschoolers are eaten by same.
I forgot to mention: lead-free bulldogs only for hunting.

HAHAHAHA....

Also, special "super citizen" is special.
Probably 1/2 dozen federal and state laws broken in regards to the death of a seal like that. You or me would be in a world of shit if that was our dog that did that.
