Cop Shoots Beloved Family Dog And Gloats "I Blew Her Head Off......That Was Awesome!"

Firing an AR-15 into your cattle herd sounds real fucking dumb to me.

That would be dumb. Thankfully I'm smarter than your average liberal and would never fire into a herd. You do know that there's such a thing as a scope and it's easy to watch your target and wait until it's out in the open before squeezing the trigger.

No shit.

I also know bullets ricochet off rocks, water and trees. Did you know that the chance of that happening is very real?

Boom! Your best bulls dead. Oops.

Why would a person shoot at rocks, water and trees? I'm shooting varmints and having been a hunter my entire life I have never had a round ricochet off of anything. You do know one of the basic rules of shooting is knowing what is beyond your target, just in case you miss or the round goes through and through.

You're correct the chance is real, but the odds are it won't, unless of course you shoot at trees, rocks and water then the odds would be greater.

Sure it is. If they're on my property they are perceived a threat and I'm within my rights to protect my livestock.

Who here has posted ammo on the internet? Oh and some legal gun owners do use the internet for purchases be it weapons or ammunition. I've purchased hard to find ammo online many times and I'm a legal gun owner.

It went over your head, or you pretend so, so you are an anti-gun troll.

If you made a coherent point it would be a big help.

If I'm anti-gun then I'm the first one to ever buy half interest in a gun store.

Are you a liberal? I'm sitting here talking about shooting dogs with an AR that threaten my livestock and you ask if I'm anti-gun.

And the firearms have to shipped to a FFL licensed dealer who must do the background check before you can get it.

Firearms, yes. Ammunition, no.

Some dogs drink mace for fun. That being said this guy seems to have a history.

I've never seen evidence of that. So far every time I've heard of it being used on a dog it has worked. Unless maybe the mace is expired and no longer effective.

Some dogs are not affected by it for some reason. I know one of my pits got sprayed with it and it didnt even bother him. It sure made me sick washing it off of him so I dont think it was expired. I used to help a guy who trained protection dogs and some of his dogs had the same reaction. It didnt bother them at all.

To me, getting terminated was a slap on the wrist if the dog did not deserve to be shot.

God bless you and the dog's family always!!!

If you have a pit bull in America, it had better never leave it's yard.

Because one of the millions of people carrying a gun is looking to shoot something. If someone is not available. And cops are people first you know.

Guns are GREAT. Shooting something or someone threatening is our pastime. And our new national motto.

But let me ask this. IF it was a neighbor who shot the dog, and the dogs owner hit the neighbor upside the head for shooting the dog, and then the neighbor shot the dog owner in self defense, then it would all be ok. Right? Of course it would.

Aggressive people are made for shooting. Dogs, not so much.

The dog owner has a responsibility to control his dog. Most places have leash laws and if your dog gets out and not on a leash then it's fair fucking game!!!

Sounds like a mix of responsibilities for this incident
1. leaving a pit bull unsupervised that did receive previous complaints (although no formal record of harm or damage until now)
2. the officer also showing signs, risk or threat of excessive force with a firearm

Those two factors already spell disaster waiting to happen, and they both appear at fault.

3. and lastly, the issue of the officer's response which compounds the other problems.
either it adds additional grief to deal with, or it exposes personality issues with the officer.

If he didn't already have personality or criminal violence issues, then saying callous things like this, given today's media and how they will twist things around, creates more problems

Overall, I'm sorry the family lost their beloved pet in this manner.
For every case of a pitbull abused, abandoned or mistreated who didn't deserve it,
there seem to be cases of pitbulls who should have been stopped after the first sign of aggression before they killed a pet or person and had to be put to death.

Stories like this bias me against pitbulls: given the fact you can't tell which ones are inbred to have the vicious tendencies, I think the entire neighborhood should agree whether or not to allow each particular dog to live there, and to share responsibility for that decision; and if they don't all agree to the responsibilities and risks, then the dog should not be allowed.

I know that is strict, but I don't see how else to avoid these tragedies, either way. Either all the people in a neighborhood agree on a particular dog being there, and agree on a plan to cover responsibility if anything happens, or don't allow them if not everyone agrees to meet the safety standards voted on by everyone affected.

Such a policy might have saved this poor dog's life. If to settle the complaints, the neighbors all agreed the dog should always be supervised 24 hours without exception, then either someone could have been there to restrain the dog and prevent the officer from shooting and killing the dog, or the dog would have been removed from the neighborhood if complaints could not be settled otherwise. So either way the dog could have been spared.

Keep your dog on a leash and it won't get shot.

I've shot a lot of dogs over the years. Them bastards would come out and rile up my livestock and I kill them the same I would a coyote, feral hog or any other pest.

The dog owner has a responsibility to control his dog. Most places have leash laws and if your dog gets out and not on a leash then it's fair fucking game!!!

Dogs can get out by accident, it happens. That why dog catchers or animal control has always been around. A small percent may be harmful and they should be dealt with but it's wrong to assume the worst and kill on site. Yes, you can be legally right but you can also be legally dead. If you shot the wrong dog you might have to forfeit your life.

A dog loose on my property has never been the wrong dog.

Animal control is not there to pick up dogs that have gotten out by accident they are charged with responding to requests for help with wild animals, dangerous animals or animals in distress.

How much livestock have you had to doctor because some dog hamstrung them or bit off their ear? How many calves have you lost due to a pack of dogs?

If I see a dog on my property and it doesn't belong to me. It will die.

wait. even if it not being aggressive?

Next we'll hear about big he-mans shooting dogs for playing "How much is that doggie in the window" too loud and for throwing their kibble in crowded theaters.

Shotgun shells being cheaper than Viagra ... yep.

Some jackass dumps a dog, blow the dog away. That proves you're a real man.

But, the lesson to be learned here is that are sickos like Lonestar out there who do indeed take great pleasure in killing dogs and cats.

Keep your pets safe from these sorry losers.

Not to mention folks who were warned about mudslides and built houses anyway.

Being on my property uninvited is an act of aggression.

Dumping a dog takes so much courage.

I take pleasure in it?

Wow now your assigning emotions to me. You people couldn't be honest if your life depended on it.

First step on the path to becoming a serial killer.

How are they supposed to know they are on your property then without a written survey and a translator? I could see if the dogs are attacking your cows/sheep or whatever it is you call your objects of affection but if a dog just being on your property classifies it as something for target practice you are not well balanced.

Unlike you I would never blame the dog for doing what dogs do. I blame the owner of the dog for allowing the dog to roam free or those that just dump unwanted dogs out in the sticks not caring how or if they survive.

Objects of affection? Not hardly, but they are objects of value. I don't view it as "target practice" I view it as a necessity.

I suppose I could just leave the dogs to maim and kill my livestock just to make you sissy assed liberals feel better. But that ain't gonna happen.
