Here is your W.T.F./ Whoo Hoo for this past week.
Please note this post is not meant to make light of the deeds described here, only to make fun of, ridicule, bully and just plain beat the shit out of the idiots who commit these stupid acts.
Manchester, Connecticut – This post kind of falls into both categories Police dogs finally receiving vests.
A while back I posted about some dog organizations that interested me, one of them was the vests for police dogs. As you may know we had a police dog injured in our rental property due to the craziness of the (now ex) neighbor. Thankfully the police dog wasn’t severely injured and Bobby the lunatic did not shoot at them, but at the time the police went into the house they had no idea what they were dealing with.
The police officer in charge of the case informed me that when they cut the cord Bobby had used to board himself in the attic, they heard a pop and initially thought he was shooting at them. It turned out to be an electrical cord, thankfully for them. Because I’m pretty sure Manchester police dogs do not have vests.
A lovely woman named Kathy Prudden paid CT-Vest-A-Dog $800.00 and never received the vests. The owner Mark Moron Moran, has apparently done a bunk and is nowhere to be found.
How can you take money for something and not provide the product? Especially for a dog that in all likelihood would take a bullet for you if he had to. What kind of moronic piece of filth are you?
After reading the article though it seems like you’re in a bit more trouble than just not providing vests. I hope when the Feds catch up with you (which I’m hopeful they will) they are using a police dog with a vest. And when you resist arrest, which you will probably do because your too stupid to take responsibility for what you’ve done, I hope that dog wearing a bullet proof vest knocks you on your dumb ass.
Really Mark, have you not heard of my friend Karma, she’s a fickle bitch that likes to bite people on the ass.
Think about it.
Fort Worth, Texas – Friendly Family Pet Killed By Officer Responding To Wrong Address. (Compliments of Life With Dogs)
Ok so first the cop responds to the wrong address. The owners two dogs come running out to greet their new friend. The owners tell the police officer “the dogs are friendly, just let us grab them and we will put them in the backyard.” The husband catches one of the dogs but the other dog approaches the officer.
The officer thinks this dog is a Pit Bull
Looks nothing at all like a Pit Bull to me.
So he shoots and kills her.
The unnamed ball-less officer still has not offered an apology. As if that would even begin to make up for what he did.
I’m thinking someone needs to get this officer some education and quick. One so he can learn his numbers correctly, two so he knows the difference between a dog running and wagging it’s tail in greeting from a charging, snarling I will f*ck you up dog and three at least get some idea of what Pit Bull type dog looks like.
Word of advice officer, when you deal with the public it’s a good idea to know the difference from an asshole and a hole in the ground. I’d say everyone in Fort Worth knows who the asshole is in the story.
Chicago, Illinois – Puppy Thrown From Balcony Adopted By The Officer Who Saved Her (Compliments of Life With Dogs)
Another crappy story with a happy ending. Jamille Marshall was arrested and charged with one felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals after throwing a four-month-old puppy named Cowgirl out a third story window. Thankfully she survived the fall with only a broken elbow.
Cowgirl is recovering at the No Kill animal shelter and will be adopted by the officer who found her. She will go to a loving home where she will join a two-year old sibling.
Ummmm Jamille did your mother ever mention that you shouldn’t throw anything out a window? Specifically if it’s alive!
WTF is wrong with you? Housebreaking a puppy does not mean you really break it.
With any luck the Chicago cops have your number and you’ll be pulled over anytime there’s a foul smell in the air. Which I imagine in Chicago happens pretty frequently.
Pocono, Pennsylvania – Pet birds killed inside vacant home in Kunkletown. (Thanks to Donna and the Dogs for this one.)
WTF is up in Kunkletown? Bryana Renner and her fiance were in the process of moving into a new home, because of an increase in vandalism and theft in their neighborhood. They left their pet birds at the old house and when they went to check on them on Saturday night they found that all but two had been brutally murdered. The details are too gruesome for me, but I just can’t understand the cruelty of people. I sure hope the police find these ass clowns and put an end to their bird killing days.
Now finally on to some really nice dog related news!
Whoo Hooo Wednesday!!!
Here’s the nice part about the Police dogs finally receiving vests.
That same wonderful woman, Kathy Prudden who coincidentally buys and raises these puppies before donating them to the police department, found and donated five vests, so finally the dogs are protected almost as well as our police officers.
Coco’s Forever Home
There’s a link to this story on my facebook page if you’re interested it’s a wonderful story about a young girl who fell in love at first sight and rescued a dog named Coco (who is now being called Sutton.) I could copy the whole post and put it here except this post is already quite long, so if you’re interested pop on over and check it out.
So what had you shaking your head saying WTF, or had you jumping for joy screaming, Whooo Hooo?
Hey it’s Jet here. Hi Miss Jodi.
OMDog, that story about the officer killing the 2nd dog… horrific, beyond words… what’s wrong with humans????
I know it’s horrible Jetty and if I knew what was wrong with them you can bet I’d be working my butt off to fix it!
Hey it’s Jet here. Hi Miss Jodi…
I’d be barking and woofing it up right beside you… Mom and JJ too!
A couple of months ago, a police officer shot and badly wounded a dog at a local park that we frequently took the dogs too … Apparently the dog appeared ‘aggressive’ and ‘charged’ the cop who fired because it was the ‘only thing’ he could do. Sad … needless to say we do not visit that park anymore.
I wouldn’t either! Many years ago there was a squirrel that got hit by a car and didn’t die. It was lying in the road thrashing about and screaming in pain not far from my house. I called animal control and the cops came and they wouldn’t even shoot the squirrel to end its misery.
When did it become acceptable for them to draw and fire their weapons any time they feel ‘threatened?’
The second story is quite bothersome and happens far too often. I understand that police don’t always know what they are dealing with, but when they are at the wrong address and kill a family pet, they really need to be held accountable for their actions. It is odd to me they are trained to not always respond with deadly force when dealing with people, but not so much when dealing with people’s pets.
I agree with you. I hear this far too often that someone’s pet was shot by a cop. You are right they are not supposed to respond with deadly force so why do we have so many trigger happy cops out there?
You know what, even if the dog was a pitbull, the owners were there saying it was friendly. Everytime I hear of a cop shooting a dog for no reason, I completely cringe. And he was at the wrong house to boot. Argh!
Glad to hear those doggie’s did get their vests anyway.
I’m with you 100% Donna, I’m so ticked off at this that it might be my next Blog The Change topic!
The courts still rule that dogs are property, and I’m assuming police officers are of a similar mindset. So they can kill your dog, get sued, and the most they’ll have to pay out is the cost to replace your dog. I don’t like THAT either, but in most courts here in the US that is the case.
THAT needs to change. It’s bullsh*t and I disagree with it and I’m very angry about it. I’m not quite sure what I’ll do yet, but I expect I’m getting a soap box out.
Good God, that is quite the collection of stories you have this week Jodi!
So sad that so many cases of testosterone poisoning result in harm to animals. Guns should only be given to people who respect what they can do to a living creature–not to trigger-happy adolescents in grownup uniforms out to prove how tough they are.
Really Kirsten! I just don’t know what comes over people. And from someone who is supposed to serve and protect. Disgusting.
So because he thought the dog was a pit bull the dog deserved to be shot? I read about stories just like this one far far far too often and I am getting more and more upset. I understand police officers need to protect themselves and that hesitation can cost lives. I have a great amount of respect for their position and sympathy for the difficulty of their jobs. However. The idea that a dog approaching means the dog is dangerous is just ridiculous. These are people’s living companions and family members. No, they should not be treated like people, but perhaps there needs to be some sort of mandatory dog behaviour education for all officers who respond to calls. That way they will quickly be able to tell the difference between a friendly dog and an aggressive one.
This needs to stop happening. It makes me physically ill to think about it.
