Answer to your question: The Police.

They do it all the time now, it's practically standard procedure.

I almost said that in my original statement but I didn't want to seem like a cop-hater. But still, it's a border collie!

whoa......hold on there.....the cops found him and took him in for care.
They do not know who shot Shamrock. There is a reward.

Yeah, well, they still shoot any dogs in sight whenever they kick in a door, now, in the US. Including tiny dogs, old dogs, blind dogs, whatever dogs. Cases coming directly to mind, just lately: three cops find a chihuahua on a porch with no license, it bites one, they all fire round after round into it and...family (that's the wrong house, way too common) has a pit they've got locked up in a pen at night. The cops walk over and blow it away in the cage.

My friend's a defense attorney back home, and tried to help get a guy some relief from the city, because the police were doing (again, wrong house) a drug bust next door in the middle of the night, his dog barked, and they shot it. In the next yard. For barking at their fuckup.

No relief, BTW - the best that's going to happen even if you do get to take the cops to court on that (and that's not likely...) is you get like fifty bucks if it's a mutt, and maybe your purchase price if it isn't.

The question was asked "Who would shoot a dog like that?" Unfortunately and increasingly lately, the answer is: cops.

BTW, you got any sources for "Michael Vick has hurt more dogs than any cop has?"

good job!

Uglier? It's not like I posted direct links to any of the stories or videos. Now, those are ugly.

Truth hurts, donit? Luckily, they're busy pushing for laws making it illegal to film cops, ever, so pretty soon, maybe nobody will ever have to see a video like that again. Awesome.

Yep. And when their owners are caught doing that, they get charged with felonies. Vick went to federal prison. Cops just laugh and walk away and...not even a freaking mayor can get a simple apology for his dead dogs.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea?

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.
