Lady, don’t mess with my property. It makes me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.

P.S. I'm a dog lover.
Good shooting!!!!
One of our dogs was recently shot. She was where she didn’t belong. As the owners, it’s our fault.
It sounds like this woman had the same problem. Control your animals or someone else will for you.
Killing a mean dog is news?
Actions speak louder than words. I have absolutely no remorse about Flato in this situation at all. If you can't control your dog, either you shouldn't have it or you shouldn't walk it in a public place.
My neighbor used to breed them. “Corporal” was his big male who one day went nutzoid in the pen, and proceeded to maul the younger, smaller dogs. The neighbor decided to intervene, but only succeeded in getting himself chewed up pretty bad. His wife came out with the shotgun, and put an end to ol’ Corporal. Damn dog had a head the size of a basketball.
Bullmastiffs are generally very docile dogs. Very protective, but not very aggressive.
That being said, they are very dangerous dogs in that when they become aggressive, they can easily kill or maim even a full grown man.
With the injuries sustained by the greyhound, and the testimony of the bullmastiff’s owner, I would have to say it was a good shoot.
My father shot my 3rd grade teacher’s dog early one morning(she lived down the road from us)....it kept raiding our chicken coop....he said he was aiming to scare it, but hit. My teacher understood....funny,I was her teacher’s pet.
“Killing a mean dog is news?”
Only if you can attempt to put the lawful use of a handgun in a bad light.
I have two greyhounds. I always carry a blade when I walk them, as there have been pit-bull attacks in my part of town.
A few years back in two pits killed a greyhound named Henry. One of my greyhounds is also named Henry.
When the story hit the local paper, everyone who knows us thought it was my Henry. I got tons of calls and sympathy.
I am fully prepared to cut the jugular of any dog that latches on to one of mine.
Tammy, Tammy...Tammy’s in denial.
That's like saying you couldn't shoot someone stabbing a person until you give them a couple more seconds - and several more stabs - to stop.
Lady, buy a clue.
the man GAVE the dog extra time by kicking him and then warning the lady to pull the dog off or he'd shoot.
her attitude is like the people who say we shouldn't have guns for protection but rely on the police - who arrive in minutes when seconds count.
“The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region is investigating whether the shooter was justified in firing on the bullmastiff, Stafford said.”
WTF authority do they have? Pound sand.
Hamstring a pitbull instead. Their jaws lock hard when they bite down, and cutting their throat will still cause you to have to pry apart their jaws. But if you cut his hamstring, he will release what he has a hold of and try to snap at your hand.
Even tugging the hamstring of any canine will cause it to lose it’s grip and turn it’s head back to the “attack”. By instinct, canines go for the hamstring of their prey and reflexively will defend their own hamstrings over even their throats.
You should ping Fawn, she loves it when dogs are killed.
The hardest part was explaining it to the kids. (Thankfully the dog survived.)
I came very near to shooting a neighbor’s dog when I was a teen to keep it from killing my cat in my front yard. I never thought I’d be thankful for that experience.
Good to know. It was worth getting out of bed today, I learned something.
Bullmastiffs are among the dogs banned from Fort Carson under a policy restricting so-called aggressive breeds ...
A tearful Tammy Martinez told The Gazette her dog Flato wasnt dangerous and shouldnt have been killed.
If he was aggressive, he would have went after the owner in self-defense when kicked, Martinez said.
Were I the Judge, I would give Martinez 364 days in jail, and the maximum fine, her comments so disregard for the law and no remorse.
