  1. Yeah, don’t even think about using identification collars or microchips… or even *gasp* not killing so many dogs (but that would be too difficult).

  2. I sound like a broken record with these cases, but I do hope the owners are considering legal action.

    OH my As*, No way would you get a Pitbull mixed up with a Collie/Lab.
    This happens all the time, and nothing is ever done about it.
    Let me tell you, If some idiot killed my puppa who is like a child to me
    there’s going to be trouble. Maybe I’d pay a fine or whatever, but I wouldn’t
    let it go………….So sorry Ms. Ashley

  4. I would be out of my mind if this were my pet. As it is, I’m just angry.

    Anyone want to take odds on how long it will be before they offer her a free puppy in exchange for her dead dog? Because that is how these assholes operate.

  5. Okay, go to the link and watch the video. The pound director is so full of compassion…no, not compassion, what’s the word I’m looking for…oh, right, apathy. That’s what he’s full of. Among other things.

    Rabies quarantines should NEVER be done in a pound (shelter my ass)!!! Laws must be changed to allow for quarantine IN THE OWNER’S HOME, or at the very least, the owner’s veterinarian’s office. If the vet’s office doesn’t have boarding space, then another vet’s office should be found that does offer it, as the numbers of animals will be lower and the possibility of harm is less (sadly, not totally safe, but certainly better than a 63% kill rate).

    I wonder (pretty much doubt, actually) that the dog needed to be quarantined in the first place, as he almost certainly had a rabies vaccination… so some petty idiot insisting on placing the dog in such a distinctly dangerous place should get a boot in the ass, along with the dumbasses at the pound, who should be fired, at the very least.

    And I forgot to add, there was no damn reason for the quarantine, as the dog only SCRATCHED someone – rabies cannot be transmitted that way, so the idiot who insisted on the dog going to the pound was 100% wrong. I don’t care that Maximus did, technically, have a bite listed against him. He didn’t have rabies before and I’d think the owner had to show the dog had been vaccinated for that, so he’d surely have been current on his vaccination!

  8. That was my question. Why are we quarantining a dog for scratching someone?? Prior offense or not that makes no sense. Do we really need to explain how rabies is spread??

    • And just what exactly are the laws like in that area that a SCRATCH, even if it was a deep one, counts as an “offense”?? I’ve been scratched by my dogs in PLAY, never mind anything else!

  9. Disgusting!!! They should be shut down!!!
