Alright sis, you can stop whining like a little girl. I'm posting now. :P
recently I read an article in the paper, in the opinion page. You can read the whole thing for yourself if you want. I won't be posting the whole thing here, it's just easier that way. The name of the article is "POCATELLO'S DOG POLICIES SHOULD BE REVIEWED" The article is talking about how dogs are being put down because of "aggressive" behavior. What is this aggressive behavior? It's not biting, it's growling and barking. You're probably thinking the same thing I was when I read the article. That's not aggressive behavior, every dog does that. Here's one story of a dog with the so called aggressive behavior.
"One so-called vicious dog, a St. Bernard-collie mix named Balou, is due to be euthanized in the near future. He's been in a cage since May 17. Balou's offense: He growled at an animal control officer and then was spotted in his owners backyard without a muzzle."
(insert sarcasm) Oh my goodness! the dog didn't have a muzzle after growling! can you believe that?! The next story is even more crazy.
"Another story is that of Rosco, a Newfoundlan-Labrador mix. He got into trouble when a Rottweiler bit his owner's daughter. Rosco bit the attacking dog in defense of the daughter. after an investigation, rosco was put in a tarp covered cage, where he's been since July 6. The Rottweiler that bit the daughter of Rosco's owner was not cited for any violation...animal control cited the daughter for allowing a vicious dog to run at large for Rosco's run-in with the Rottweiler."
WHAT?! the dog that attacked is allowed to live, gets no punishment, and is not cited while the other dog that was just defending it's master's daughter gets all of that? If I were there I would give Rosco a lot of treats and praise him. The Rottweiler should be the one to die, it attacked the daughter, it's the vicious one. Rosco was just protecting his family. People are really stupid if they do things like that.
When I first read this article I was about to try and compare it to humans, when I realized it wouldn't change a thing. This is what I was thinking. What if it were some guy that attacked someone's daughter? Then what if the father punched, maybe even shot the attacker? That's what I was thinking, but then I realized they'd probably put the father in jail. We live in a world where the government is just stupid.
This allows criminals to start suing officers if their drug sniffing dogs, search dogs, or just normal police dogs growl, bark, or attack someone. This probably will happen sometime. and then the courts will allow it. My brother said that he heard that this guy who was robbing a house, fell onto some forks and knives, and then sued because they left silverware out where someone could get hurt. He won the case. That man shouldn't have been in the house in the first place.
