A couple of decades ago, I remember some commercial for a Time-Life series of books about the old American West. A grizzled-sounding Western voice narrating the commercial uttered “He shot a man for looking at him” while describing … well, some cowboy or sheriff or whatever.
I was reminded of that when I saw this article, only it was a Shih Tzu puppy that was eyeballing Marc Dash of Tonawanda, New York.
I’d do more than ‘eyeball’ the fucker, given half a chance! I’d be willing to do jail time, for 15 minutes alone with the type of person that would do this. I just can’t relate to the type of mind that would do this to a defenceless creature.
I wouldn’t be so sure. Chihuahuas are mean tempered bastards–my sister has (had) two of them. She was all goo eyed over them, but they’d snap at you as soon as look at you.
The guy who did this was an A #1 jerk–who kicks an animal down the stairs? Or kicks them, period? How little self esteem do you have to have to think a dog is looking at you as if it didn’t like you?
I wonder if this is the end of their relationship. <sarcasm>
Man what a pussy. He was afraid of a Shih Tzu? Fuck that guy. Someone should kick him down the stairs. When the Shih Tzu is staring at you like it doesn’t like you that’s when you start cuddle punishing it.
I’m a prosecutor. Every now and then, I get an animal cruelty case; one recent one involved a Great Dane that had been starved down to a weight of 27 pounds. If there’s anything to like about such cases, it’s the fact that I don’t have to do any negotiating. Every now and then, they’ll ask for a reduction in my plea offer, and I just tell 'em, “No, we’ll let a jury see the pictures, and see what they give you.”
I’ve never had a trial on an animal cruelty case yet.
