[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think anyone who shoots a little dog not actually physically on them rather than just go back to their car is deranged and is going to shoot someone eventually. The man was delivering illegally, carrying a loaded weapon to people's homes? Noooo. I keep my dog inside but there is one person more in the wrong here, and that's trigger-happy weirdo.[/quote]

Finally a sensible person.

Yes, I think people should contain and control their dogs. Yes, I think Angie Harmon was a bad dog owner.[b] But to act like going straight to SHOOTING a dog because you feel threatened is a justified action is sick.

[b]Per Angie's version of the story there was no wound on the delivery guy. [b]Shoot a dog if you need to get it to let go of your leg. But shooting a dog because it barked aggressively at you and got close to you? [/b]Come on people, this is not reasonable.[/b][/quote]

You think shooting at your leg or foot is reasonable?  Nope.  You are not required to be injured before you act in self-defense.  You do not need to allow a guy to punch you before defending yourself and you don't need to allow a dog to bite you before defending yourself.  [/quote]

The DOJ estimates that police shoot 10,000 pet dogs annually in the line of duty. The number is really just a guess because police departments don't track these deaths any better than they do the killings of human citizens they engage in - it is very likely a far higher number, I found one article online asserting that experts suggest the number could reach six figures.

Police don't wait to be bitten to shoot and kill a pet dog. When a dog runs at them, as a dog in a yard will do when a stranger enters its space (dogs are by nature and desire territorial), the majority of police will just shoot it, straight out.

But those killings are probably okay with poster because the owners aren't glamorous actors and probably engaged in some kind of thuggery or the police wouldn't even be there, right? (Never mind that there are documented cases of police entering the wrong property to serve warrants and executing pet dogs who were present.)

How much mauling is the person supposed to endure before engaging in defense of self?

We are talking about a SCHEDULED DELIVERY and a dog owner who left the dog outside, unsupervised and unsecured, during the time of the scheduled delivery. Because her dog is a sweetheart and would never hurt anyone - same thing we hear from every clueless dog owner in the aftermath of both lethal and nonlethal maulings.[/quote]

There was no mauling in this case.[/quote]

Are you thick?

Police don't wait to be mauled to shoot a charging dog, they shoot at the threat in self defense - just like this driver did.

There is no duty to be mauled before engaging in self defense. Dog owners have a duty to secure their dogs, both in public spaces with leashes, and on their own property when they have INVITED A GUEST on the property.[/quote]
