ctafoya Report post Posted March 9, 2023 Interesting. If I had a dog that got out and attacked someone I would be charged. I'm not saying the officer should be, it just seems like a double standard. https://www.azfamily.com/2023/03/08/avondale-k-9-bit-man-nearly-20-times-after-escaping-backyard-records-show/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5guyshunting Report post Posted March 9, 2023 I'm saying lawsuit. If it were your dog or mine, that's what would happen and the dog would be put down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted March 9, 2023 I don't think its over. When it hits the news the law tigers start to circle, takes a minute before the suit hits the news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuntHarder Report post Posted March 9, 2023 I dont see the double standard... you would not be automatically charged with anything if your dog bites someone. You could be, if you are negligent. What would happen to you is exactly what is gonna happen here, a lawsuit and being held responsible for all damages. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted March 9, 2023 I met a retired border patrol dog once when doing pest control for another company at a local dog kennel. I swear that dog had no problem with me until I turned around and latched the gate behind me. All the sudden it was game on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow! Zero to 100 quick. I’m not too put out by that as that’s how a lot of old timers would think. They would choose loose chickens over the family dog in most occasions. I had a grandfather that could have done the same thing. It would be interesting to hear more memorable reactions he had as you were growing up if you don’t mind sharing.

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted March 9, 2023 I'm just curious why the assumption is that the handler won't be held responsible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zackcarp Report post Posted March 9, 2023 When I moved into our current neighborhood, my neighbor came over and claimed my dog killed his chickens. I asked him if he saw her do it. He said no. So I told him well, I wouldn't put her past it, but until someone witnesses it, I'm not getting rid of her. So I decided to give him all my flock and start over. We've been good friends ever since. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great handling of the situation, I remember being just a little put out by what Dad did, but he was the real thing and he didn't have any reason to not believe the neighbor! Maybe he really didn't like the dog to start with I don't know. Where we lived everybody's dogs ran pretty loose with the idea that most of them stayed at home which we know doesn't happen in reality but none of our dogs during that time ever spent time on a rope or in a cage.........

His irrigation ditches were completely weedless, part of me understands that is what kept me and my brothers out of trouble and part of me knows he didn't want rattlesnakes on the ditches while he was changing water in the middle of the night!

trphyhntr Report post Posted March 9, 2023 shoot a dog, because it wasn’t trained well. I mean, I think all pitbulls should be killed. So I can’t say anything. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
