Funny story about shooting a dog

The BBQ Pit
1

Guy I work with and at most friendly with told the funniest story at lunch a while ago. Seems his stupid neighbors from a few years ago had a dog they didn’t take care of. Kept it chained up, didn’t give it enough food or water, and it barked all the time. So my co-worker started putting water out for the dog, couldn’t do foos that’s too expensive. He even (he says) salled the animal protection people to no avail. It seems though that the dog wanted more. Enough food, attention, maybe some love, you know, annoyances. Anyway, the dog started getting loose, breaking its rope, and running all over the neighborhood. And still with the barking.

So one day, (garbage day coincideltally, he kept mentioning that), very early, the dog was loose and got into his “herb garden”. And always with the barking. So, he get his unregistered pistol (he specifically mentioned that) and sat in the garden waiting for the dog. The dog approached him cause he was “friendly”, and my co-worker held out the gun. Being a dog, the animal extended his nose for a sniff.

BANG

Much hilarity ensues. Next door neighbor was about to yell at the dog and saw it all, he about fell out his window it was so damn funny. And the great thing was that it was garbage day. Instant removal!

And the stupid neighbors are still wondering where poor poochie went. Ahh, it’s even better in the retelling.

OK, I’m not a dog person. I don’t want a dog. Too big too noisy too much damn work with the walking and the playing and the poop-scooping. I will never have a dog. I’m also not a gun person. Guns scare me and I can’t imagine the scenario that would get me to buy one.

The callousness and insensitivity displayed by this “person” I work with absolutely leaves me speechless. I was so angry I couldn’t say anything. He found that amusing too. He still does. He told the story with such relish that I can’t help but wish I had a gun with me at the time because I would have shot him with it.

This fellow has a history that I found out about due to circumstances and I certainly had my doubts before I even spoke to the guy, but now I have no doubt it’s all very true.

What he doesn’t seem to realize is that there are people at work whgo already don’t lik ehim and, if relayed this story, would find a way to have him, well, hurt. People are weird about their dogs, man. But I tell you, I would not miss him.

Fucking insensitive callous selfish ethic-free shitlicker. I really only wish that I had seen it happen cause you certainly would laugh about the story now. After the arrest and the bigstory in the paper and the firearm violation. Righteous indignation just bursts through me sometimes.

And I wonder exactly what was in the “herb garden”. Dirt bag motherfucker.

What a fucking asshole.

If his neighbor saw it, he should have called a cop.

Sick! Seriously! :frowning:

I had a co-worker brag to me once that her cat had kittens and they died of “lead poisoning.” Wonder if they know each other.

4

You know, this kind of thing just wants to make me sponge out my brain. Seriously, I wish I’d never read this thread. I am so depressed. (Not that I begrudge you sharing your rage, you had to vent.)

There’s a special depth of hell reserved for a waste of life like this. It’s one in which he is starving and cold and lost, and approaches someone hoping for some human contact and maybe a “Hey pal, good to see you,” and gets a bullet through his brain instead. Over and over and over.

6

I’d have probably punched him, so help me. Shooting a dog like that, rat bastard. :mad: :mad:

7

Also, I’d advise calling the police and telling them this story. They might be interested in his ‘herb garden’ too. Not to mention his neighbors might want to find out.

Call them. Now.

Michael Ellis, I think the cops might be a bit more interested in the ‘unregistered pistol’ than the ‘herb garden’. I agree that a call should be make, just promise to let us know the outcome!

Oh, that poor, poor puppy!

I inherited a ferret from a fuckhead like him. My cousin called me up, crying because her husband had gotten sick of the ferret that they had spent their rent money on three months before. A 6 month old ferret that they had made mean and almost feral by not feeding her properly, only giving her water infrequently and only taking her out of her 3’ cage to hold her down and poke her until she actually squeeked in frustration, flailing around for something to bite. Now, she wasn’t fun anymore, so he was going to tie her to a stump in the woods and shoot her when he got home from work, so could we please, please take her?
It was damn hard work to take a ferret that had been abused for half her life and make her fine again, but we did it. That puppy could have been loved. If one idiot hadn’t caused his life to be miserable because of laziness, and another idiot hadn’t caused his death from pure selfishness. Jerks. :frowning:

Yuck. The world has some assholes in it.

When I first started working at the humane society, we had a local guy who worked ona construction site. There was a stray dog that came around the site sometimes, so one day this fool went over to the dog with a machete, killed it, chopped its head off, and licked the blood from his machete in front of the rest of the crew.

Yay felony animal cruelty convictions.

One word for that guy: Fucktard.

12

What i don’t understand is how he acted a little caring in the beginning. He gave the dog water and called animal protection on the neighbors for not caring for the dog. I’m not sure how he made the “logical” leap to “well, I’ll just shoot the damn dog.”

13

The guy’s only mistake was not shooting the dog AND the dog’s owner.

I wouldn’t shoot a dog, and I don’t condone it, but my GOD some of you are pussies!

14

:rolleyes:

15

Find out his home address.

Locating the neighbors shouldn’t be too hard. You’ll have a story to tell them.

16

That’s incredibly callous and sick. I would call the police too. :frowning:

17

Now that’s a great idea. We could get a whole new punchline to this joke.

18

Clint in Wichita, you’re a really nice man, I’m sure. I appreciate your comments. Thanks for stopping by.

Now go away.

That story isn’t even as funny as Old Yeller.

I had a neighbor who had a barking dog. That damn thing drove me to the edge of insanity. I hated that dog. My neighbor was old and lonely, but it was a standard poodle (The most hideous dog on the face of the planet IMHO) and it was just too much dog for him to handle. It shit and pissed all over the inside of his house, but he kept the damn thing because he was so lonely.

I swear if I would have had an RPG on any of those Saturday mornings when that damn dog woke not only me, but my infant son up, it would have been Poodle Bits [sup]TM[/sup].

One of my neighbors, I still don’t know who, called animal control over, and over, and over. Finally my neighbor had to give the dog away. The dog has since visited, it is happy, healthy, clean, trained, and doesn’t bark anymore. I guess this was the right way to go about the problem.

But trust me, as this sad old man told me that his one happiness in life was going away, when I saw the tears welling up in his eyes, I all could feel, all I could hear, was that phrase, repeating over and over in my head. “I have to give the dog away”. “I have to give the dog away”. *“I have to give the dog away”. * Sounds beautiful doesn’t it? It’s one of the most beautiful phrases I’ve heard in my life. Inside I was jumping up and down with glee. I had been driven to the point of no human compassion. I hated that hideous beast with every ounce of my being. And I am a dog owner!

I think it’s sick what this guy did, but I have been a victim of this kind of situation. It can drive even the laid back to thoughts of mayhem. I wanted to scream to the rooftops “Look at my glee at this old man’s sadness”! “I can now sleep the sleep of the righteous”! Even my wife was driven to thoughts of poodlecide in those days. The distinction between those who go on to lead normal healthy lives, and those who become serial killers, is that the normal don’t cross that line, even when driven to it, given bus fair for the trip back, and a printout from Mapquest on the quickest route over the line.

DaddyTimesTwo, if this fucktard ever gets laid off, try to leave work for a couple days, k?
