If you and your family had been shown to do it time and time again, I am down for you and your "breed" to be exterminated.
If people are similarly abusing dogs, then I agree, but apparently it's the dog's fault for reacting, so.....
You live in a world where you believe everything can be fixed by educating scum.
No, I live in a cushioned world where scum "have" to be educated, because simply disposing of them is not an option, for some reason...
I live in a world where I see scum not taking in anyone's lessons, so I work in the reality where such "action" would result in absolutely nothing being achieved.
And this is why they perpetuate their transgressions.
It clearly wasn't on the owners property at the time of the incident and they can get a warrant so no; they don't need the owners permission and they should have seized it sooner - that's a mistake that they have admitted to in the statement in the article you clearly didn't read!
I presume the Police weren't present at the actual time of the incident, and that the dog would have ended up at its home by the time they showed up, in which case they would need either a warrant or owner's consent.
Honestly can't believe you're still trying to converse with him.
That's Dowie for you - Cannot let anything go. He's like a Pit Bull with a small child.
