WASHINGTON - Debbie Poore told police her husband of three weeks called her at work about 6 p.m. Thursday to say that their dog, a 2-year-old Chinese Shar-Pei, had bitten him on the hand - and that he was going to kill it.

Never bring a gun to dogfight...

Now if the man had beaten his wife this would be a tragic accident .. but Beating your dog is a Killin' offense!!!!

****** THIS IS A JOKE LADIES!!! *******

Seriously, the scum deserved what he got - good riddance to bad rubbish.

[Ditter]

Looks like he removed himself from the gene pool just in time.

He may look cute and cuddly, but he's thinking, "Do you feel lucky, punk? Well do you?"

[xsmommy]

yep, you got it! he is saying, you wanna piece of me? well i will get a coupla chunks of you before all is said and done....

As dumb and all as my dog is, and as much as she makes me angry some times, I can't imagine beating her with the but of my gun. The phone book, maybe, but my gun...?

She's laying on my feet now, keepin' them warm in the cold northeast.

Jacka** got just what he deserved.

Like I posted before, I hope the A-hole died hard.

Would "registration" prevent this tragedy?

I think trailers do have to be registered. :)

He obviously needed killin'. This death warms the cockles of my hard heart.

Raymond ''Raven'' Poore, a construction worker, apparently was beating the dog on the head with the butt of a rifle-shotgun when it discharged and hit him in the lower abdomen.

Apparently he wasn't even bright enough to use the other end. Score another for Darwin.

I tried "dog" and "shoot." So shoot me.

[CholeraJoe]

Dog looks gay to me.

Did you really need to read his rap sheet to know what he did to the dog was wrong? I didn't. This is a demonization process. It's wrong. If we agree with it here, then we can't disagree with it when they use the same tactic to trash people who shouldn't be.

Would "registration" prevent this tragedy?

Or "ballistic paw-printing"?

[RikaStrom]

LOL, for shame. But I would not be surprised if xspup came out the victor of that battle.

[Ken H]

I quite agree.

Justice served, next case.

Never trust a smiling dog.
