Thanks.
This brings up another one of my pet peeves. Crappy writers who leave out critical details in a story like this. Just from reading the story, it leaves me with doubts about what actually happened. Whenever you here a story about a trigger "accidently" going off, somebody is probably lying about something. However, if the pit actually did attack the other dog, then the owner has no one to blame but himself.
When I read your first post, my initial thought was about people who shoot dogs who wander onto their property, just because they know they can legally do so(in some areas). There was an incident a while back about a half mile from where I live. In this area, we sometimes have problems with bears and mountain lions. For the most part, the bears only knock over garbage cans and raid bird feeders, but every once in a while, there will be a problem lion that makes easy prey out of pets. So what happened, was there was a cat in the area that had killed a dog and attacked a horse. So some of the people in the area were tracking the cat with a couple hound dogs, and the dogs crossed over somebody's property that they hadn't gotten permission from, so the POS shot them and then denied access to his property with one dog still alive and wounded badly. He said he shot them because they were chasing deer.
I believe he did get charged with animal cruelty, and even better, his name was printed in the paper, so hopefully he lives the rest of his life looking over his shoulder. If there really is a God, and I think there is, the next problem cat in the area will rip his nut sack off, and then cover him with debris, only to return every few days to feed on him slowly. I'm probably not really going to spray his house with bullets while he's sleeping, but I wouldn't mind if he never gets another good nights sleep in his life because he thinks someone might. Needless to say, there is a lot of hate for this man.
Oh, in case you wondering, they weren't my dogs, and I don't even know the people they belonged to.
