IM WITH YOU

On the local news,

Some cop during a warrant jumped the fence of an "adjacent" home,

when the two dogs in the "adjacent" fenced backyard attacked, and rightfully so, the cop shot them both! What an asshole.

Tired Old Saws #33, 34, 35:

"We don't know his side of the story.........."

"Better safe than sorry............."

"At least the officer went home safely that night............"

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.

Just saw this on the news here in Tampa:
He only shot one in the leg. (The dog was put down due to the injury.) The other one is being held because the owner had no record of yearly shots and no dog license. The cop got pretty mangled in the attack, so they want to make sure the dog is not diseased.

yeah, it's a sad thing. But this was not a responsible dog owner. She owns two pit bulls and didn't keep them up on their shots?? Not good.

WTF? Not responsible?

Who gives a fuck about shots as long as they keep them in their own fucking yard? They are dogs, not children. As long as they are well fed and watered and generally taken care of, what else can you ask for?

It sucks that the cop got chewed up, but it's his own fault, not the dog or owners fault. They did what they were supposed to do and he went somewhere that he wasn't supposed to go. Moral of the story is to look for dogs in the yard before you jump into it.

No. The moral of the story is to stay out of the FUCKING WRONG YARD when serving a warrent.
That crap about shots is just attempted blackmail to keep a suit from the city.

Hey- could have been worse....

Man dies after dog falls onto car from overpass
Labrador retriever also killed after crashing through driver’s windshield

Updated: 4:46 p.m. ET Jan. 19, 2006
LIVONIA, Mich. - A dog apparently fell from a freeway overpass and crashed through a car windshield, fatally injuring the driver, police said Thursday.

Charles G. Jetchick, 81, died Wednesday of injuries suffered in the accident over the weekend in suburban Detroit. A passenger suffered minor injuries.

Investigators do not believe the 60- to 70-pound Labrador retriever was thrown, but rather fell by while trying to avoid a car, State Police Sgt. Michael A. Shaw said. Police questioned the dog’s owner. The dog died after a fall of about 16 feet.

Despite his injuries, Jetchick was able to steer his car in a straight line and stop safely, Shaw said.

“We’ve had rocks and other stuff like that fall off of overpasses. This would be the first dog we’ve had,” said Shaw, who has been with the state police for 11 years.

Keep them up on their shots?!?

Hell, the veterinarians have pressured the law to require shots EVERY YEAR... distemper vaccines last almost seven years. Of course they want the inflated office visit cost, the overpriced vaccine itself, etc.

I can buy the same vaccine for $2. Instead, if I want to get him his shots I have at least $100 a year. And that to over-vaccinate him, which has been shown to cause damage to the dog.

No thanks. I take him to the rabies clinics when needed, and I'll take him back when the distemper/parvo/etc. shots expire rather than when the vets want more $$$.

If the cop jumped in the back yard to simply serve the warrant and got bit then I feel even less sorry for him. I jumped to the conclusion that he was chasing the fleeing suspect on the warrant through that back yard.

Either way, the owner isn't responsible but I do believe the city is responsible for the dogs being shot and reparations need to be made.
