Cops Execute Restrained Dog (Video)

[Acanthus]

So dogs that run free are poorly trained. I've known a shitload of bird dogs who would beg to differ. Out here in the country people let their dogs roam, doesn't mean they are poorly raised or not cared for.

Err context, this dog was not from a 2000 acre farm.

I want to shoot dogs that wander into my yard just so they don't shit where I mow, or because fuck head neighbors can't stop them from barking at all hours of the night so I have no problem with what the cop did....of course I'm an asshole like that.

It's pretty simple...if you don't want your pitbull shot and killed especially after you were just permitted to legally own a pet after being convicted of animal abuse......keep the goddamn thing chained up.

Dog Whisperer is a fraud. He uses the Keohler method when off camera.

 

[tcsenter]

Nothing wrong with the Keohler method, at least no more than any other (e.g. they all have limitations and caveats and nuances that cannot be definitively explored/explained in a book). It lends itself to misinterpretation or misapplication more so than positive reinforcement methods by incompetent people who really NEED more than a book to become competent dog handlers or trainers (or need YEARS more exposure to dogs than they have).

Cesar Millan is NOT a dog trainer, he does NOT "train" dogs. He rehabilitates problem dogs that are well beyond the optimal window or development stages for obedience training, with an emphasis on rehabilitating the OWNER or the household that has created the dog's problematic or neurotic behavior.

Big difference.

If he hadn't shot the dog, I assume animal control would have picked it up, waited a bit, then put the dog down themselves? Is that true?

 

[Powermoloch]

If the owner did show some ounce of responsibility with the dog, it would've been alive today. Sad to see this dog went out that way.

I have dogs, it's THE OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY to train and keep the pet safe and the neighborhood safe.

Don't think so. The dog hadn't actually attacked anyone, let alone bit anyone.

The owner didn't have the dog licensed, but could have rectified that at any time even after the dog was picked up.

From the article:

The officers were responding to a call from LaGrange resident Mary Coleman that the dog had acted threateningly toward her and her daughter as they walked to a school bus stop.

“It was growling at my six-year-old,” Coleman testified. “I wanted my kid to be safe and myself to be safe.”

Mays [dog's owner] pointed out that the dog could not have been too angry because Coleman chained it at her home while Howell and Powell went to get special equipment used in handling animals.

So, Mary Coleman, the complainant, was so afraid of this vicious dog but was somehow able to grab it, take it to her house, then reach down and affix a chain to it's collar?

Please.

Just watch the entire video and you will see this was not a vicious dog and what transpired was a brutal and unnecessary mistake.

The officer HAD the dog successfully on a rigid pole snare. There was NO way the dog could have hurt anyone then, even if it wanted to, which it clearly did not!

The officer then punked out and cold bloodedly shot the dog when he clearly did not have to.

Of course, the owner has primary blame since he shouldn't have let his dog run loose, but that dog did not deserve to die.

Why do you think someone in the police department itself leaked the video from the police cruiser to Mays?

Awful all the way 'round.

It's a dog, get over it.

You're a pig. Time to put some bacon in the pan. Squeal, little piggy, squeal.

This is exactly my point. Pigs are at least a intelligent as dogs, and they are slaughtered mercilessly every single day. Does anyone care? No. Not as long as they get their precious bacon in the morning. Why do people care so much when a dog gets killed? The foolish things people obsess over will never cease to amaze me. Everyone knows this.

Article in regards to the video, everyone should read it before they make a judgment.

There are a couple problems with this. One what qualifies as 'growling' is usually not, also when it comes to kids chances are the kid was doing something the dog didn't like if it did growl. At the dog park I go to some asshat parent was letting their kid throw wood chips (which became small rocks) at dogs and getting angry when the dogs started getting pissed. They were threatening to call the ranger about the same time we made them leave.

Also if a stranger was able to chain the dog it obviously wasn't aggressive.

What really bugs me is the incompetence both these cops showed in dealing with a dog, yet alone a restrained dog. The one hardly had enough loop to get the dog if it was immobile, then was handling the pole terribly.

I also don't get why at point blank they didn't kill the dog outright, but let it suffer for a few moments prior to the final shot. That just doesn't make sense.

Almost any dog is not going to be passive when 'lasso'ed. This dog was hardly putting up more of a fight than any. If the officer properly restrained that dog on the stick it would be impossible for him to be bit.

This was a case of two knuckleheads with guns that lack the required gray matter to properly solve puzzles any other way.

It's a sad video.

You seem to lack the required understanding that like people, animals exist on various levels.

A slaughterhouse pig is a lot different than one that would be a pet.

Same way a soldier on a opposing front is a different class of 'human' than going in to your local greasy spoon and blowing away Flo.

As a side note...most people that cared about this dog being killed like this would have probably reacted the same way had it been just a pig this was done too.

It was a pit bull. If anything, the cops should get a Michael Vick Medal of Valor.

You sir are a moron,ignorant and a dumbass in general;,please stop posting and go back to rubbing the lotion on your mom..D:

Cop should lose his job at least,there was no reason to do that..where the fuck is animal control so dumbfuck police officers do not do shit like this..

Guys, I've been attacked on more than one occasion by both what was a restrained dog that 'got free' and also a pack of dogs. I have no reservations of going all Darwinian on the dogs and prove who I am above them on the food chain.

In one attack, I had to threaten an animal control officer to come out and cite the animal's owner in order to get him to do his job. This was the same animal that jumped onto the hood of my car at 12:30AM one morning.

Until you have been in that kind of situation, responding to a video without context is only showing how you can terribly mis-judge a situation.

 

[TehMac]

I hate fucking retarded fucks. Obviously you are one of them. Watch the fucking video.. They shot a dog that was RESTRAINED. How can you be so blind to something that you see with your own eyes?

I was going to say something about you being a Bush vote, but apparently you are just completely retarded. Incapable of logic.

Wahh wahh, go cry about the 60 million humans executed by Stalin and his Communist regime.

Cry about something legitimate that actually relates to something relevant in our lives, not some dumbass getting his ill-trained mutt receiving a head shot.

If you need someone to hate, direct it at yourself, you've earned it my friend, you've earned it.

perhaps stop rolling in bacon prior to walking the neighborhood. I find it interesting you could fend off a pack of dogs though. Even the best fighters have a hard time with two or more dogs at a time.

Did they look like this:
