I'd never beat a dog up in a first place. The guy deserved it, unless I'm not bothering to read the article and the dog was trying to kill everyone or something...

He got what he deserved. The dog bit him.. so what? That's what dogs do. The dog probably had a very good reason, considering the stupidity of his/her owner. Then he tried to beat the dog to death. Killing the dog is one thing, but he intentially wanted to make the poor thing suffer. This is karma if I ever saw it.

Oh I'm sorry. Next time a dog starts biting me repeatedly, I'll pet it on the head and go about my business. Maybe I'll even buy it a treat for being so nice.

you dumbass, did you even read the article? the dog was not biting him when he started beating it, he was doing it solely out of vengeance. good riddence, i don't want people like that sharing my air.

btw i bet that dog was laughing his ass off :D

Gopunk, I'm sorry you are not smart enough to use Google, but you really shouldn't take out your anger out on me. Perhaps someone will teach you how one day.

Lt. Kelly Rice of the Winchester Police department believes the man was trying to DEFEND himself from the dog according to the Winchester Star. Lt. Rice went on to add Shar-peis are used as fighting dogs in China.

Did he have something to do with the dog being pissed? Maybe, Maybe Not. Maybe his wife kicked the dog all the time. Maybe the neighbor's kid tormented the dog when they were at work. Maybe a previous owner used to beat the dog relentlessly. Maybe some Shar-peis are just mean as hell.

But IMO, Any dog that attacks the hand that feeds it should be put down before it injures another regardless of circumstance. Angry dogs are a liablity. More and more owners are being held responsible for their dogs attacking other people, which gets them a few years of jailtime.

i'm sorry you're not smart enough to realize that some people don't go searching for all related stories because 95% of them are going to be saying the same thing (it's called "associated press").

lets try an exercise in logic.

the man called his wife at work to let her know he was going to kill it. i think that alone should let you know that this was not out of self-defense. when is the last time you heard of a guy who got jumped by a dog, and decided that instead of trying to get away from the dog, he would place a phone call? that would never happen. if the dog was attacking him at the time of death, it was probably because he had started to beat it with a shotgun.

and crazy dogs should be put down. but clubbing them to death is not an acceptable means of putting down an animal. that's absurd.

not to mention, this dog is biting his owner. now unless this dog has a brain tumor (which does happen), the dog would not, in all likelihood, be doing this unless the owner was a POS.

oh and you know what, i do know how to use google, and this is what i found:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A40483-2003Jan24.html

Debbie Poore, a Frederick County, Va., food service employee, said her husband had a history of sparring with the dog. "But I kept telling him, 'You shouldn't play rough with her,' " she said, declining to comment further.

Raymond Poore stood 6 feet 2 inches and weighed 180 pounds with white hair to his shoulders. He was convicted last year in Fauquier County of receiving stolen property, was sentenced in April to 12 months in prison and was released early, according to public records. He had several misdemeanor convictions in Fairfax and Spotsylvania counties.

Kimberly Dodson, who said she dated and lived with Poore in Berryville, Va., for three years until 2001, said she was not surprised to hear that Poore might have beaten his dog, given the way he treated her.

"In the beginning, it was good, [but] he got into alcohol and violence. I would end up with black eyes, and he would choke and head-butt me," said Dodson, a kitchen cabinet builder for American Woodmark in Clarke County, Va. "I heard last Friday that he got out of jail, and I was very nervous."

His mother, Marian Cloud of Nokesville, said it had been two years since she had seen Poore, who celebrated his 43rd birthday Monday. He would call once every few months.

"Raymond was a very intelligent man, but he didn't always use his intelligence in the right way," she said. "He called me earlier this month, saying he got married. It's not that I didn't want to go. He just went out and got married. I am a very distraught mother."

yea, i'm sure it was the dogs fault

BTW, do you have a link to your article? the search term "kelly rice" in their "news" section brings up nothing related to this story.

If he was gonna kill the dog, he should have shot it.

He was covered in bites because when he started beating the dog, the dog fought back. If someone started beating you wouldn't you fight back?

I bet he was just abusive as hell to the dog and one day the dog lost it.

This man got what was coming to him.

Sad thing is, the dog will likely be put down if it has become too mean. :(

Winchester is pretty close to West Virginia.

Raymond Poore Jr. - How come Rednecks have names like this? :Q
