In her testimony she was trying to get it off another dog that it was attacking, I would like to see proof of the other dog however.

But that throws the whole she was hitting the dog for no reason, and throws the dogs whole gentleness out the window.

Or rather than re-litigating this in the appellate court of Calgarypuck we could just take it as read that the judge isn't a complete moron, heard the accounts of what happened and came to a reasoned conclusion about what the best path to take was.


Come on, it's a dog, it attacked someone, maybe there are other issues better deserving of people's time and energy.

where do we draw the line?

Come on its just a circus freak, lets kill him and stop wasting everyones time.

If we're going to debate the story then lets see where the details point.

Well I guess we could draw the line with humans vs. not. But my point is, I am generally baffled by the sentiment "A dog attacked someone and is being put down! We cannot, as a society, permit such an activity without delving into the details and determining with complete certainty in the court of public opinion, on the basis of sketchy second-hand accounts from various news sources, whether this is the correct path!"

Dogs get put down for biting people as a matter of course, is this really a circumstance where everyone needs to get onside with it? Just seems like a lot of people really concerned about not much of a story. I read the thread and don't really care enough to second-guess the judge.
