My Dog Shoot Thing Decided in Court Today

[Walter Zoomie]

The bench trial today was a Pyrrhic victory of sorts. The other party didn’t get the $6000 they wanted, but I have to pay them half of their first vet bill...$330.

I will accept the judge’s decision with good cheer and move on with my life, because that’s what adults do.

Thanks for all the support. It has meant a lot.

More later as I have the time...

Hey? Is it cold out there?

That's a LOT less than $6000.

That's great news, congratulations!

Glad you were somewhat victorious. Next time, the beer is on me.

Was this the Beech Grove loose dog shooting thing that Roadie was telling me about?

My INGO SearchFeatureFu is pretty fail at 3am.

Yes. Walter was in his own yard and his neighbor's dog attacked him.

Yes. Walter was in his own yard and his neighbor's dog attacked him.

WTflippingHeck?! And he had to pay for the vet bill?

Yes. Walter was in his own yard and his neighbor's dog attacked him.

He should not have provoked the dog ...................wow makes me glad I didn't pull the trigger on the dog that was stalking me.

On the other hand, I tracked down the owner told them the "issues" with their dog and what would happen next. Two months later it stalked (there were witnesses), attacked and shredded the 5 year old kid 2 doors down. My Daughter was 6 at the time.

OP probably saved someone's butt by doing this. Cheers to the OP, if he is happy, so be it. Sometimes a win is cutting a check for 5% of what they wanted, BTDT and laughed my ass off doing it.

Beats buying the full boat, but still kind of sucks. Glad it wasn't any worse.

 

[JetGirl]

Zoomie, you shouldn't have had to pay anything at ALL...but I'm glad you're satisfied with the outcome. That's what counts!

 

[stanicus]

That sucks that you had to pay even a small amount, but at least its behind you now. Maybe next time you empty the magazine so there cant be a vet bill..... probably a bad idea.

Yeah, I hear disposal of a carcass is cheaper than a vet bill for a GSW.

Although I doubt it would take an entire mag. I'm guessing 2-3 decently placed shots or 1-2 WELL placed shots.

..if you dont mind

If you dont mind Who was the judge?
Was this at the Beech Grove Small Claims?


Bastards ! shouldnt have to pay anything,




Were you provoking the dog prior to shooting it?

 

[Dogman]

That's bs, WZ shouldn't have had to pay anything, the owners of the dog should have had to pay him for the cost of the ammo he shot.

 

[christman]

In his own yard and attacked? Whats the rest of the story? No way a judge would order payment if that was the only factors.

 

[right winger]

WOW. I killed my neighbors dog that came after me.
They were PO and got loud mouthed.
But nothing happened.Thankfully.

 

[Walter Zoomie]

As soon as I get the time, I'll publish the entire clammy tale at my blog site thingy.

In a nutshell though, apparently, society today doesn't care for do-it-your-selfers like me to take care of business on my own.

Franklin Township. The judge's last name is Kitley...and he's up for re-election!

Re-Elect John Kitley Jr for Franklin Township Judge

And yes, I "provoked" the dog(s)...two Rottweilers...by leaving the safety of my own home and going outdoors armed on my property instead of calling BGPD.

There's a lot more to the story, as Frank can attest to, but this is the reason I had to pay half of the other party's vet bill.
