Redskins Diehard Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 ??i'm asking why you feel sorry for people who dont like other people. Edit: or rather, why you feel sorry for people who feel they havent "found someone as valuable to them as a dog" why do you pity those people? is what i'm asking. Because in my experiences there is great value in human friendship. I love dogs but I haven't found one that I can carry on a way conversation with.

Redskins Diehard Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Jumped to what conclusion? I posted a photo from an article that had no importance what-so-ever as far as my position on the situation. If you want to thump your e-chest about being right about a issue of exactly zero consequence, feel free. Also what conclusions have I jumped to? Enlighten me. Oh, you pulled a photo off of google that had no importance what-so-ever? You weren't trying to prove any point at all with that photo? Riiiiiight. The conclusion that there was something "wrong" about this whole incident and that the local police are going to cover it up...because you know there is no shortage of police getting away with stuff out there.

Corcaigh Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 The article makes the usual claims that the animal was friendly and never harmed anyone. That text appears in most stories about a fatal dog attacks too. I've yet to read a story where the owner said "yeah our animal is dangerous and we should have had it put down years ago." I'd like to know the full facts and then judge whether the cop's perception that his, or his animal's life, were in danger were unreasonable.

Popeman38 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 It really is amazing that so many can't comprehend what they read. There are two sourced, the AA Police Chief and an AA County administrator that have stated publicly that the investigation is ongoing. Both said if charges are warranted they will be filed. The administrator said they would prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. So, where is the cover up? Where is the big blue line hiding one of it's own?

Drop Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 No, only the other guys dog is like family. Or whatever else people are saying in this thread. I love dogs as much as the next guy. But they aren't people. I feel sorry for the people in this thread that haven't managed to come across a human friend that is more valuable to them than a dog. You really don't know the differences between a dog and a person? you obviously didn't understand what i wrote. I didn't say i've never found a human friend who's friendship wasn't more valuable than my dog. I said that a dogs companionship is comparable to that of one of your human best friends. You're decent enough at reading....it seems that comprehension is your problem. And i'd just like to add, i feel sorry for anyone who can't comprehend a dogs true value simply because he can't have a conversation with them. Sometimes, humans being able to talk back to me, is the reason i prefer my dog over them. Food for thought. I've heard some pretty dumbass arguements against a dogs value as it relates to human beings in here so far. "It's just a dog", "dogs can't have a conversation with me", "dogs have been sensationalized by the media in the last 10 years". i mean for real? and you all actually believe yourselves? lol....wow.

It's just a dog, dogs can't have a conversation with me, dogs have been sensationalized by the media in the last 10 years. wtf, seriously? The biggest bunch of ridiculousness i've read on here in a long, long time. I think plenty of people that disagree with you do understand and comprehend a dog's true value. They are great like I said. I love dogs. That being said, if I were faced with a decision to pick one or the other for the rest of my life the decision would be easy. If I were rushing into a burning building and could only save my best friend...or my dog...I wouldn't think twice. Does that mean I don't understand the value of a dog? No, it means I do understand the value of human life. The "just a dog" point of view is often in relationship to a human being. Perhaps it isn't a "ding" on dogs but rather an appreciation for people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd save my son, my mother, my father, over my dog. but i wouldn't save YOUR best friend over my dog. The dog's family, your best friend ain't. And to me, when you've met a few people, you've essentially met em all. I've seen all walks of life...been friends with all walks of life. And still, my dog means a hell of a lot more to me than most of the people i've encountered in my life. If you see that as me not loving people or whatever, that's cool. I deal with people all day long. I know their vices as well as their virtues. My immediate inner circle of human friends and family, they come first. But between them and anyone else i don't have an attachment too....comes my dog. Simple as that. i suppose we just have to agree to disagree.

Like as stated by everyone else, you have an extremely hard time with reading comprehension and this isn't rocket science. Nobody is comparing a human to a dog and this story doesn't compare a human to a dog either. This story is about an off duty pig who thinks because he works in law enforcement his **** don't stink. This is about a human shooting a dog for no reason in a place where humans are suppose to bring there dogs. Is this really that difficult for you to comprehend?

Corcaigh Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 off duty pig Ah ... This is about a human shooting a dog for no reason There are lots of good reasons to shoot a dog.

It is reassuring that you value at some human life over that of a dog. I'm sure most people would save Fido over at least some humans. Difference is just probably where the line is drawn.

Drop Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Nice to be a fellow member of the human race with you. This whole "we're all humans so any human should be more important to us than any other creature" bull**** is just absured imo. Just because i'm a human i should care about the other 6.5 billion of us more than a dog who actually means something to me?? You look at it your way. I'll look at it mine. And the guy who shot the dog is still a ******** who deserves to be shot in the shin for taking someone else's family member at his will and discretion.

No, not society's spokesman. But the laws are and penalties associated with breaking them are. I have made 2 main points in this thread. Neither of them say the guy that shot the dog was right or wrong. Point 1...an investigation is underway to determine whether or not the guy was right or wrong. Point 2....dogs are not equal to humans. A lot of people in this thread think they know exactly what happened and have the ability to predict what will happen in the future. I really doubt either of those are possible at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generaltso Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 i'll take my dog over most people any day of the week. indeed. "most" being the operative word. but being completely honest, i dont have many friends. and the friends i do have aren't what you'd call "close" more like acquaintances maybe... maybe i'm too jaded from years of working retail and restaurant jobs, being **** on by the general public and so called "friends" stealing from me, lying to me, sleeping around with my girl behind my back... i guess thats good for others to have a broad network of friends that they can rely upon...but i dont feel i need to have alot of or have very close friends in order to be happy. there is alot of comfort in being alone. its very calming.

No, it means I do understand the value of human life. RD- You have gone way off the map of this story to make your irrelevant points. Nobody is talking about murdering people over dogs and nobody here is arguing human life over animal life. This off-duty officer was not making a choice between having human or dog companionship for life. He was not personally attacked by a dog and neither was any human. He was at a dog park. His leashed dog got into a scrap with another dog in a fenced-in area, which is by the rules okay for the other dogs to be playing in while unleashed and his method of solving the problem was to take out his gun and shoot the other dog. Not sure where everyone is getting this "we don't know the circumstances" stuff from. He shot someone's pet at a pet park. Let's get back on the page here.
