Dog kills cat, cat owner shoots dog, dog owner shoots 5 people. - Page 3

BrianD · 05-28-2009, 03:57 PM

New information which shouldn't be news:
1. The dog that killed the cat was a pit bull.
2. A guy who is willing to shoot a neighbor family feels the need to have a "man's dog" and isn't bright enough to train it properly.

Here's the Charlotte Observer version of the story but it also doesn't say where that happened either.

Around 11 p.m. Wednesday night, the sheriff's office says, a man's pit bull dog attacked and killed a neighbor's cat, and the cat's owner responded by shooting and killing the dog. Then, authorities say, the dog's owner got into an altercation with the neighbor, shooting him and his daughter.

A different version of the story by the same writer appears in the RaleighNews-Observer and adds this detail
Neighbors told reporters at the scene that the dispute actually goes back several months, when the dog bit a girl in the neighborhood.

I think it's pretty clear there was speculation only about the dogs location.

Boy am I shocked it was a pitbull that had an aggressive history. Like I said earlier, the dog was probably either aggressive or trained to attack. I would be very surprised if the pitbull was on it's own property when this happened.

3. The dog had previously bitten a child in the same neighborhood.

The idiot cat owner looks even more stupid with the revelation that it was a pit bull. The dog was most likely in his own yard when it killed the cat and when he decided to gun it down in cold blood. His decision put him and his family in mortal danger.

The guy owned a pit bull. What were the odds he had a gun in the house and was willing to use it in response to someone killing his dog? Survey says: pretty damned likely.

I have no pity for the dog owner. He shot a little girl and police officers. But for the cat owner not to expect return fire is stunningly stupid.

Dogs most often tend to be restricted to their owner's property, be it by chain or fence. Dogs do get loose but the stories don't mention the dog running free. Until more details come available I find the most likely scenario to be that the cat went into the dog's yard and got caught.

Low blow there at the end. And funny, considering how many of your posts I have considered borderline 'Noopid'.

I like the term noopid, it is funny because he is unfairly bashed on more than others on here.

Tyrith · 05-28-2009, 04:56 PM

All I can say is that if someone's dog killed my cat, I'd kill the dog. And it deserved to die. I'm not saying that killing it would be the best way to handle the situation, but I think it would be fundamentally just. And I really doubt there is much of a case that can be held against the cat owner other than unlawfully discharging a firearm - a dog is a deadly thing, just like a gun is, and the dog - and therefore the dog owner - started it.

We must have lived in some pretty different places. I see as many token efforts as genuine ones.

Let's make no mistake, I am extremely critical of any pet owner -- dog, cat, bird, hamster, pot-bellied pig -- that allows their animal to encroach on anyone else's property. It's highly irresponsible and no good comes of it.

That said however, even in areas where dogs roaming are supposedly restricted by law, I've consistently have to deal with roughly the same number them in my yard as I do cats.

Now maybe the cats are just more discreet, and Lord only knows I'm more forgiving of them since I've never had anyone else's cat attack my or a family member in my own yard (something I can't say for other people's dogs) but my own experiences haven't shown dog owners to be any more responsible with their pets than cat owners.

And in fairness, I did single out your apparent faith in the dog/dog owner as being Noopid, not you in general. Just about anybody is entitled to the occasional moment of Noopidity, just don't make a habit of it

Sgran · 05-28-2009, 05:09 PM

Aggressive dog bites a kid. Tensions are high. Neighborhood is buzzing about the crazy guy who refuses to keep his dog on a tighter leash. Neighbor offers some free advice which the dog owner rejects. Little girl watches her cat get mauled by said dog, starts to cry. Dad loses it, goes inside for his gun (rifle? handgun?) and shoots the dog. Neighbor hears shot and returns fire, but he's a bit drunk and not used to his oversized handgun and his shots go off in all directions, striking the man and his daughter. Cops show up and the dog owner is holed up, refusing to give himself up. Violence spills into the street, shots are exchanged, 2 cops go down, man is shot to death. News of the event spreads and the violence continues on a website forum devoted to simulated football software. Where will it end??!!

I mean, one dog attack (if it's a big enough dog) is going to be a pretty bad day. Not a lot of people tend to have 20+lb cats for pets (and the one's I've run across aren't exactly "fit" if they're tipping the scales at over 20lbs).

Around where I live we rarely see dogs roaming free but we clean up after cats on our lawn very regularly. Sure that's annoying, but cleaning up after 20 cats is a lot less dangerous than facing one (insert large dog breed name here). Mailmen carrying mace in certain areas is likely much more necessary than others, but a smart idea for all I'd say.

Fidatelo · 05-28-2009, 06:22 PM

All this 'would you or would you not shoot the guy that shot your dog' talk is missing something very fundamental: What happened to just beating someone down?

Seriously, if someone shot my dog, and if I felt it was unjustified (read: my dog isn't a crazy-ass pitbull that just ate the dude's pet), I wouldn't go get a gun and shoot the fool. I'd simply give him an old fashioned beat down with my fists. And if he was bigger than me, I'd jersey him first.

Cat attack = bad scratch, maybe an infection (get a bandaid)
Dog attack = death (get a casket)

This is North Carolina, the vast majority of the state has no "enforcable" leash laws. As you said though you're used to a different area of the country where they keep tighter reign on things.
