Nowhere as amusing as YOU flinging around the insults and acting all innocent about it.
“the police shouldn't have intruded into his life”
They were INVESTIGATING A COMPLAINT. Do I need to put it in coloring book format for you to understand that?
“it is not the decision of the ACO nor the vet to euthanize the guy's dog without his written consent or a judge's order!”
It depends on what the law states, and I never said it was an ACO’s decision. A vet is the one who makes the determination if the dog can be saved or not.
If the dog was too weak to be given anesthesia for the operation it would have died anyways. Once again, a vet, NOT a judge is the one to make that determination.
But hey, let's go prolong the dog's suffering while the vet chases down a judge or the owner to get a permission slip to do his job. It's bad enough that shelters and the vets who work at the shelters are overburdened as it is so let's add more bureaucratic red tape to mess with their job.
So you see, in that respect, I am indeed, innocent.
“Investigating a complaint” my a$$! It doesn't take five armed narcs to investigate a “smell!” Try getting even one uniform out to your house for a prowler, then tell me they weren't looking for an excuse.
It's no wonder you feel qualified to give coloring book guidance. Your level of naivete would make a sit-com seem Byzantine.
Furthermore, I can't imagine the level of discomfort you must feel when reaching so far up your poop chute to pull out excuses for the guys that came out of this encounter, unharmed. I am unaware of ANY state that permits the destruction of an injured pet without written consent of the owner WHEN THAT OWNER'S WHEREABOUTS ARE KNOWN!
How is it you can't seem to get it through your head it is NOT the vet's "job" to make decisions for the pet owner? All your prattle about overcrowded shelters and over worked vets doesn't mean squat, because this was a PRIVATELY OWNED PET, not an injured stray.
You must REALLY like the taste of shoe polish.
