cop slits dogs throat

[jd4320t]

Maybe this cop was pro gun and hosted firearms training. Then it would be ok right

To All,

What I find sad about a story like this is that the amount of public outrage will be huge for a dog and insignificant for a human being.

Sometimes our priorities are bass akwards.

Some human beings are less deserving of outrage than an animal.

I believe that a person's compassion for or treatment of an animal is a good litmus test for the character of a person. I loathe this kind of display of a lack of mercy and apparent lack of good judgement. He is a monster who definitely should not be in a position of authority.

“If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.”
― Francis of Assisi

The dog bit somebody, it was probably going to be put down anyway. What difference does it make if the throat was slit or if a vet put it down? Don't you kill chickens by cutting their heads off? Oh, but that's ok because chickens aren't cute.

Don't get my wrong, I have a 7 year old lab who sleeps at the foot of my bed that I love dearly, but at the end of the day he's a dog, not a person.

And a dog is no more deserving of cruel treatment than a person is.

Not that I am ok with what he did, but had he shot the dog i wouldn't be as outraged as I am. Using a knife and cutting it's throat...that's so much more personal.
I think it says a lot about the cop.

This sums it up 10000%

Huh. See, I suspect if a trussed up suspect had their throat slit there would probably be more outrage.

Maybe he used a knife because it seemed safer than firing a gun if it was in a residential area, but I can't see any reason to kill the dog at this point since it was under control on a catch pole. It's not like it's running around actively attacking anyone. It would appear this guy has some anger issues.

This would work equally well to justify police executing a restrained murder suspect in lieu of taking him into custody for trial--after all, he would/should probably get the chair anyway. Without taking a hard left and assigning humanesque value to the life of an animal, the animal was someone's property and was destroyed without due process.

The safer thing to do was leave it on the catch pole.

To address a few "hypocrisy" posts:

I slaughtered farm animals and hunted as a youth through present day. Animals are not people. However our culture has assigned special protections to certain animals, such as dogs, because they are "pets" and not "food" in the eyes of the majority of us. Slaughtering a dog will not result in the same reaction from most people than slaughtering a goat (PETA weirdos aside). Using a knife is NEVER viewed the same as using a gun by society at large, regardless of context. This is a point well worth remembering for those who carry edged weapons. While legally a shoot = a stab, in people's gut reactions and public opinion both, a stabbing is viewed much more harshly.

You eat dogs often? Comparing a persons' pet (dog) to farm animals and game animals is utterly ridiculous. But nice try at defending the "blues" psychopathic fk up.

Somebody ought to ****ing gut him.

He already had his throat cut. What would be the point of gutting him too? Sheesh, some people are really morbid.

You may want to read my post again. Take note of the 3rd and 4th sentence.

Probably want to go ahead and read my first post again as well (#20)

Question... What is the penalty for someone that would kill a police dog? Not trying to start anything, but would it be treated just the same as killing someone's pet, or are the police animals considered to be law enforcement "officers"?

 

[Suprtek]

I do not condone unnecessary cruelty to animal under any circumstances. However, given the brief nature of this article, I am willing to accept that there may be more facts that we are yet not aware of. I am also very much in favor of the idea that when it comes to protecting human safety, the actions towards an animal are subject to a much different standard that those same actions towards a person. If the animal was truly no longer a threat to anyone, than this person is certainly worthy of disdain. However, this article does not guarantee to my satisfaction that this was in fact the case.
