You mean they aren’t charging the dog with assault? You mean they don’t think the dog planned the whole thing? Sounds like some kind of preferential treatment to me… bet if it’d been a cat they would have pressed charges.
Considering all the things my dog has stepped on or in, or got his leash wrapped around, why in the world would they put a dog in there with a loaded gun?
I noticed the website has a video labeled “Dog triggers gun, shoots hunter.” Almost makes it sound like they’ve got film of him being shot.
There were some outdoorsmen who captured a rabbit and strapped dynamite to it. Then they lit it. It ran straight to the nearest cover; their truck. BOOM.
WINCHESTER, Va. (AP) - A man trying to beat his dog to death with a gun was fatally wounded when it apparently went off accidentally, police said.
Raymond Poore Jr., 43, called his wife at work Thursday and told her that their dog had bitten him and he intended to kill the animal, police Capt. David Sobonya said.
The wife came home about 6 p.m. and found her husband unconscious, with a number of dog bites and scratches. Emergency medical personnel discovered that Poore had been shot. He was pronounced dead at Winchester Medical Center.
Sobonya said Poore must have beaten the 30-pound shar-pei with the gun that went off. He said the stock of the weapon, a combination rifle and shotgun, was broken and there appeared to be blood and dog hair on it.
The dog was in the custody of an animal control officer. Sobonya had no detail on how badly it was injured.
