I'm at a loss for words.

Haven't you displayed some similarities with the mindless mob with your accusations / comments about the dog owner?

The dog owner may have broken the law, but that doesn't mean that some other ####### should be able to break the law

Again, I have not made one threat toward anyone. I have expressed my opinion and made no action statements.

So no, not even close to the mindless mob.

I have never said that this Woodburn person should be able to break the law - I assumed he would be charged with the gun violation. I have been clear that I think he's a dirtbag for his various criminal activities, and for posting those pics on his FB.

Not sure if I can be any clearer.

If someone can give me a better explanation as to why this woman doesn't have to obey the law in this county and why the animal nutties think owners no longer have to be responsible for their pitbulls, I'll take it back and apologize.

Until then, the owners are pigs who killed that dog just the same as the guy who actually pulled the trigger. They should be charged as well. If they hadn't let that dog run loose it would be alive today.

Oh, and the bitch that runs the Lost Animal FB site is a mental case who should be locked away. And she should take her mentally ill friends with her.

And the animal nutters are hypocrites who've lost all credibility as far as I'm concerned. Note that I am the only one who took issue with that crazy bitch threatening to kill that guy's dog. The supposed animal lovers...they were silent.

Just when I think you people can no longer amaze me, you do.

Who has said she doesnt have to follow the law? If you dont follow the law, then there are set punishments for not doing so, we try to discourage folks from making up their own punishments, correct? I agree, she should have been cited for allowing her dog to escape. Now, did she "let the dog run loose", or did it escape from what appeared to be good containment measures. Dogs can be great escape artists, and not everybody has the money for a $500 fenced and roofed outside run or the ability to keep the dogs inside all day.

A strong tie-out cable costs less than $20.

Apparently this dog has "escaped" repeatedly. The mental cases even admit that when they insist that the guy's girlfriend had been "baiting" it. So the owners knew the dog was getting out and running around, and they did nothing to prevent it.

 

[Chasey_Lane]

I can think of no other reason why this person got off scot free from letting her pitbull run loose. The dog would be alive today had they kept it contained - LIKE THE LAW SAYS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO. So apparently these folks are above the law here in good ol' St. Mary's County.

How many of your cats are leashed or enclosed when they are outside?

 

[vraiblonde]

Zero. It is accepted practice in my neighborhood that cats are community property. And if someone shoots them, guess whose fault it will be?

 

[RidgeChick]

oh my GOD. you have the nerve to call her names???? A singe mom whose boyfriend is in Afghanistan or Iraq whose dog got out and got shot and you call her a whore?!? Not to mention your ignorant holier-than-thou, know-it-all attitude....How do you KNOW she got off without a citation??? YOU DON'T, ignorant!! Because if everyone who got a ticket/citation was made public, we would run out of room! For Gods sake, why do people not use common sense?

I, unlike some, have not made one single threat. Not one. I haven't said I wanted to go to her house and shoot her. Nor have I said I want to kill her dog and string it up on a pole. That's those other people you're thinking of, the ones from the Lost Animal website, that wanted to start killing people and animals. Curious why they haven't been charged and why nobody seems to give a damn about them. Is it because they didn't take pictures so the locals could understand?

If you cannot control your bully breed, you shouldn't have one. Period. The animal nutties on here always say don't blame the dog, blame the owner. Well?

I don't care that she's a single mom nor do I care that her boyfriend is in the military overseas. I don't know why you'd even mention that, since it has nothing to do with her letting the dog run loose. If it's a misguided attempt to evoke sympathy for her and excuse her from her responsibility, yeah, sorry, not gonna work.

If she cannot control her pitbull, she shouldn't have had it.

And if she did get charged, good. Maybe she's learned a lesson and will take better care of her animals in the future.

That information is public. Now where is your common sense?

 

[RidgeChick]

1. it was a pit/lab mix
2. I couldn't give a fuk about your sympathy, just protesting your misguided "whore" statement
3. I made no excuse for her, just explaining the situation a bit more
4. showing that the sanctimonious, all-mighty Vraiblonde is not quite as knowledgeable as you would like people to think. A bit like the un-powerful OZ hiding in a corner shouting nonsense in the hope that people will mistake volume and hard words for knowledge.....

I had a very large pitbull at my front door the other day, standing there growling at me through the glass door. I just came into the house less than a minute before. Had I been outside and saw the dog coming at me, I don't know what I would have done. I was intimidated at it growling at me through the door. Can't imagine if I didn't have that piece of glass between us. To be honest, if I had a gun, it would have been pointed at it's head.

I hope you called Animal Control and the police. See, this way its on record that the dog got loose and when caught the owner can be found and made aware. By the proper people. No need to wait for it to happen again at your door. This isn't a game being played, giving them rope and then hanging them. Don't wait for a second visit. I don't think people are just letting these dogs run free, they are getting out of their boundaries somehow. Owners need to be more responsible about checking fences especially.

That man and his gf did wrong in baiting, shooting and then bragging about killing the dog. If it was on their property they should have stopped it the first time through proper channels. Again? Request further action by authorities.They can and will remove the dog from the owners home you know.

 

[RidgeChick]

I am not the one who assumed that the owner had no repercussions, nor did I call her a whore and ask who she blew.

That information is public. Now where is your common sense?

It has been mentioned numerous times, in this instance and others, that Animal Control is of little or no use when it comes to actually controlling animals. A few people have mentioned their own problems with loose dogs, that AC does nothing about. Usually by the time they get there the dog is gone, only to return later. Many times they have no idea who owns the dog or where it came from.

"They" are saying that the gf was baiting the dog, but given "their" mental health status I do not believe one single word "they" say. Again, if the dog were properly contained the gf could have put out filet mignon and the dog wouldn't have been able to get to it. You can't "bait" an animal that can't get to the food. And if the baiting were true, and the guy's sole intent was to kill him a dog, why wouldn't they have poisoned the food they supposedly put out? That whole line of "reasoning" is ridiculous.

I'm just asking for some common sense and ratchet back on the hysterical knee-jerk reacting. Oh boo hoo, she's a single mom. Wah, her boyfriend is in Iraq. SFW? What does that have to do with anything? <--that is not directed at you, Deb.

 

[frequentflier]

FWIW, I know of one rescue that recently turned the lady down since she is looking for another dog. My guess is she is not considered a responsible pet owner; given that the dog was running loose a lot.

I addressed that part and I get you, but I get me too. Just one of those issues that have many twists and turns.

Sure that works 99% of the time, but dogs do escape. All the time. Of course we know that this woman's dog was out and about all the time, but never was a problem.

A dog simply walking through your yard isn't/shouldn't be enough to shoot it. Bottom line.

The lost animals FB page this was on has exmaples of dogs getting loose just about every day. They don't get shot, and I believe 100% that if it were a Chessie, or a Lab walking through the yard, the guy would have never shot it.

I'm not sure what hysterical knee-jerk reaction is happening though as I haven't been following this. Can you elaborate?

I wish I could've been that lucky. Best pups in the whole damn world. I'd trade one for 1,000 peeps any day.

 

[BadGirl]

Why does no one seem to care that as often-wandering dog, a breed that has a bad-reputation for lethal and near-lethal bites, is located near a daycare?

How smart is it to have a daycare "mascot" that is a pitbull? It's not, that's why.

If I were a parent, I would absolutely NEVER have my child at a daycare within near proximity to a pitbull, despite how cuddly, warm, and friendly it may be.

Has anyone from the Childcare Licensing Board, or whatever it is called, paid a visit to the daycare to see why they freely allowed a wandering, dangerous-breed dog around/on their property?
