It is sad, but the guy must have done something to the Sharpie for him to get bitten by it.

meh.. shouldn't keep animals in the house anyways. Dont have to deal with stuff like that.
 

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

Good! "This [dog gets] what [is] coming to [it]."

I guess every single case of a dog bite must be explained from the "poor doggie" point of view. It is impossible for a defenceless human being to be attacked by another creature without provoking it.

I do agree that the man was stupid for not shooting the dog. However, I also understand that we all have moments of anger where we are provoked to utter things that we do not mean and can't have the guts to do. Perhaps he said he would kill the dog because of the anger he felt at that moment but didn't intend on doing it. Nonetheless, I do think that he should have defended himself by shooting the dog. At least according to the reasoning of some posters, karma will be hitting the dog too since it will be euthanised.

Mflacy, you should know Go Punk's position on animal rights, as that would explain his position on this matter. From my recollection, he is of the opinion that animals should have rights and are being held captive by man. Perhaps it would help if you ask him directly for a background information about his position on that subject. It would help you better understand where he's coming from with his argument.

(I know what's coming to me from the defenders of all creatures except human beings, but I don't care.)

So what you are saying is that the dog wasn't necessaily turned into a mean dog because it was beaten, but it was mean on its own? I don't think the dog decided to start biting people one day because it realized it had a small penis.

It is sad that you don't know how to read. Maybe you approve of rednecks who get drunk and beat women and kill DOMESTICATED animals???????????????

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."

I can't imagine someone dumb enough to use a loaded shotgun for beating something. Just set it on the ground and grab a stick.
