Police: Puppy Shot Man Trying To Kill Dogs
Not sure what that state's law is but I find it doubtful that he'll end up
doing more than paying a fine. I will agree that he was taking responsibility for his mess rather than dumping them at a shelter and pushing another dog to its death faster. My guess is that the mentality borders along something like "if we allow some people to do this then what's to stop people from randomly shooting dogs?" I wonder if it was a rural community where this man lived. In the Carolinas its completely normal for people in rural areas to kill their puppies, usually before they're even old enough to find homes for. Their dogs aren't s/n and they generally aren't confined so there tend to be many "oops" litters each year. -- Tara |

I will agree that he was taking responsibility for his mess rather than dumping them at a shelter and pushing another dog to its death faster. I agree too. I guess my initial response was more in regards to the age of the puppies and that he was holding 2 in his hands while shooting. My guess is that the mentality borders along something like "if we allow some people to do this then what's to stop people from randomly shooting dogs?" Since dogs are property then I don't think there is much to stop one from shooting their own dogs. I wonder if it was a rural community where this man lived. In the Carolinas its completely normal for people in rural areas to kill their puppies, usually before they're even old enough to find homes for. Their dogs aren't s/n and they generally aren't confined so there tend to be many "oops" litters each year. Same here. In fact more people will drown or kill very young puppies, ie at birth rather then ever spending the money to spay or neuter. Afterall killing the puppies is free. For those who don't have any qualms of killing but have more qualms about spending their money for spaying I suppose this is an alternative. I definitely have seen bitches have litter after litter and never get spayed. And the pups never make it past a week old if that. Gwen |

Having puppies was probably something he was going to prevent in the future, so he didn't have to relive that experience again. why do you think that? if there was any indication of such in the article, i missed it. I'm outraged that humans have so twisted their perceptions so badly that this man is charged with abuse. It took a lot of courage and was a kind caring and humane act. it's unsurprising that we have vastly differing views on what constitutes kind, caring, and courageous. kind and caring would've been having his dog spayed. courageous would've been asking for help when he realized he was in over his head. and, while i think the situation could have been much worse, i don't see that as a reasonable defense for his actions. -- shelly (perfectly foul wench) and elliott and harriet http://home.bluemarble.net/~scouvrette http://photos.yahoo.com/scouvrette |

"diddy" wrote in message ... When you inject a dog, it causes the heart to stop, and they die of a heart attack. Heart attacks are NOT instant, and they do have momentary pain. That's not how it works. Euthanasia solution is typically sodium pentobarbital, an old school anesthesic drug. A simple explaination, an overdose of the drug is given, and it shuts down the neurotransmitters in the brain. The animal's brain is no longer comprehending anything by the time the heart stops.

When the ancient war dogs did battle on Fri, 10 Sep 2004 06:23:45
-0500, diddy did speak the following bit of wisdom: It's obviously an unpleasant experience. If it is the least bit unpleasant, then you might want to seek out a new vet. In all but the most grave emergency situations, the practice I go to actually puts animals to SLEEP before issuing the final injection. Thus, there is nothing at all unpleasant for either the pet or the owner. The animal really does "go to sleep" and is totally unaware of anything at the time the euthanasia solution is actually administered. BTW: This practice also makes it a point of leaving the owners and family members alone in a quiet back room with their sleeping pal to say their goodbyes and grieve in peace -- both before and after the procedure. It's as positive an experience as it can be, under the circumstances. My 3 dogs are quite elderly now and we have already pre-made their final arrangements, including the fact that we desire individual cremation with ashes returned. We even have a little bottle of mild tranquilizers in the drawer weighed out for each of them for the "final office call" as my vet calls it. (God, I love that man!!) I can guarantee you... my girls will not be aware of what is happening on that day. It will be an extremely kind and loving death experience for all of us. If only it could be this way for people! *~ *~ *~ Karen C. Spammers be damned! I can't be emailed from this account! So there... "You have no power here! ...Be gone!
