Officer charged in Commerce City dog shooting

[Troublco]

Please show me where I did that one??


That's my WHOLE POINT, while everyone flaming me seems to think it's all the Cop's fault. For fawksakes. yourself.

You are doing a fine job of missing my point; which is - the owner made what I think most people (obviously excluding yourself) would consider a reasonable attempt at being a responsible pet owner by having someone take care of the dog, instead of just leaving it in their backyard. So someone who was entrusted to take care of the dog didn't, and you feel that the owner should just shut up and color.

So according to you; anyone who leaves their dog in the care of anyone else, whether it be a friend or a kennel, and anything like this happens it's partially their fault for being a dog owner. That's what I'm getting from this. If that's incorrect, please explain how.

I was incorrect in saying you were attributing 100% of the blame to the owner.

I still believe the owner made a good effort in trying to be responsible, and it appears you feel that they weren't.

No, it isn't all the officer's fault. The only thing that would be his fault is allegedly shooting the dog multiple times, and missing a couple; endangering the surrounding community. The dog was being held by the animal control officer, that is not in dispute. The fact that the dog got loose initially would be the responsibility of the person caring for the dog. The dog owner is responsible for the fact that they own the dog, and from that would most likely be responsible for the cost of damages resulting from the dog being let loose by the person caring for it, although that person holds the responsibility for the dog being loose. So I suppose it comes down to what you're defining responsibility.

If all you can do is fawksake this and fawksake that, you're doing a fine job of all by yourself. I wasn't particularly trying to flame you, but you seem to be rather sensitive. This forum is for discourse, discussion, and conversation. That means frequently other people have other opinions. Get used to it.
