wow, this is bad

my teacher, lets say jan, and her husband, lets say tony. well, they had company over and it was time to feed there dogs. they went outside to feed them and they notice there chocolate lab has a huge blood spot on her arm. They also notice that there bull massive puppy is missing.

they wrap up there lab and tony goes looking for his puppy. He goes to his neighbors and asks if hes seen him. the neighbor, we'll say Jim. well, Jim says oh yeah, i saw him.

Tony says, well where was it
jim says, oh it was over by my hogs and ticking me off so i shot it.
WHAT say tony.
yeah, there was two, and they were getting on my nerves so i shot em.

did you yell at them or anything, or even see there collars? asks tony

Oh, yeah, but i had a problem with wild dogs once and so i shot em with my buck shot.

Tony goes home to tell Jan and Jan calls the police. the police called the humane society and they say that Jim is lyable for the cost of the dogs and all of the vet bills for the lab.

Overall, the cost will be over 2500 dollars. 1400 for the dog and 900 for the vet bill. I hope that guy learned a lessen. He definitely deserved what he got.

[cookieluver7]

That is so terrible. That poor, poor dog. And it wasn't like the dog was doing anything to that man. They must be so upset.

As much as I'd like to get all upset about somebody shooting their dogs, I'll also risk upsetting all of you and saying that perhaps the owners got what was coming and will be more attentive and careful with their dogs from now on. If I was in this situation I would be incredibly upset, but I would be more angry at myself for not supervising my dogs.

I rescue I was thinking the same thing . It's a shame when people don't watch their animals and then the animals pays the price.
Being raised on a farm I can understand the guys reaction. I lost my 4-H steer 1 week before a sale becouse of a pack of neighbor hood dogs. I called all the owners of course none of them ever had their dog loose.
Well over time most didn't make it home either. took me about a month . My dogs were always penned or on a leash.

[Josh4Colts]

there dogs were able to roam around before they moved. They were just used to there old environment.

Having recently moved to a rural area, I can find little sympathy for the owners of the dogs. I KNOW that if I let Lady run loose something like that could happen to her, so she has a 100+ foot run in the yard. The farmer was protecting his livelihood, and the owners should have known better.

Ok, it was the hogs skins, and the guy didn't even yell at them. He sees the dogs and pulls out his gun and shoots it and you find no sympathy for the owners????

I just heard a similar story on the local news the other night. The neighbor shot a family's 6 month old chocolate lab puppy, and their 2 yr old beagle, becuase they were on his property. If I remember right, this happen about an hour form here...Not sure if their was livestock involved or not. Mayb eit is annoying if your neighbors dog is always loose...but it shooting it the answer? Seems harsh to me

[Lady's Human]

I have sympathy for the dog(s) involved, none whatsoever for the owner. Dogs harassing livestock or deer around here just get shot, No questions asked. If you call animal control they ask "don't you have a rifle?"
