.... because instead of finding an animal shelter, they are going to shoot it.

Quote:A mother and daughter in Massachusetts saw a wounded dog on the side of the road so they called the police.

From CBS Boston:
Fifteen-year-old Kassidy Edwards can’t forget the horrific sound. “It was just two big loud popping noises right after each other and there was nothing after that,” she describes.

Those popping noises? Police shooting a dog who was hit by a car because they couldn’t find its owner or anyone to help.

I actually don't see the problem here. If the animal was wounded beyond help, that was the humane thing to do.

They weren't saying it was beyond help ... they were saying -- and the state is backing them up on this -- that is because their town doesn't have an animal control officer.

Because calling an animal shelter is too difficult.

Was it a pitbull? B/c that's a game changer.

GTS, you don't have a hobby horse, you have a hobby dog.....

I'm hoping if nothing else I can teach people to question authority. If you start talking The Fed or regulation or social liberty or Hayek or Friedman or Bastiat people glaze the hell over. Show them their local shiny badge syndrome prick pumping lead into innocent pets and people and they tend to get the idea much more quickly: Government is made up of people. People can be petty, insecure, vindictive, sociopathic, criminal, and crazy just to list a few lowlights. Ergo, government should be given as little power and jurisdiction as possible to maximize the liberty of everyone. That applies from the inept Congress to the civil liberty shredding White House to their minor league counterparts in state houses and amateur counterparts in town halls and their ultimate enforcers in law enforcement and the military.

Well an injured Pitt bull could be a public safety concern.

Specifically, how? How different than any other injured dog?

The point went over your head... A few weeks ago, police went to a lady's house to inform her of her son's death and when her pit bull came running towards them, they shot it. I believe WPDAWG was being sarcastic.

It didn't go over my head. He's not talking about that story. He didn't have a friggin' point.
