"It's because I'm black, isn't it?"
Another reason every adult American needs a Modern Sporting Rifle.
You never know when you’ll have to defend a sea lion.
"It's because I'm black, isn't it?"
Sea lion hatred is so ingrained in these people.
I think all dogs should be limited to ten teeth.
I wonder how much his fine will be? /s
No charges. Even though the giffords could not control their dog. I say ban pits for any government or former government employee. They just claim it’s not my fault.
Ok, article says the dog was an American Bulldog.. comments here say it was a Pit Bull. What is, or is there any, difference?
So its ok if their dog attacks a sea lion, but I’ve read of others getting cited or having their dogs taken away by animal control for the same type of attack.
If my leashed, 70+ pound dog got away from me, “ran off” and did anything nefarious at all, I would be facing a fine-big enough to affect a months’ worth of bills-and I’m talking about hiking trails in the woods, not a public beach. If you can’t control the dog on the leash, don’t walk the damn dog outside your property...
New bumper sticker in the making...
Gabby Gifford’s dog has killed more sea lions than my gun. Impose dog control!
Or something to that effect.
isn’t harassing and mauling or killing sea lions a federal offense? hmmmmmm..
First in with “a dingo ate my baby!”
Freakin idiots. The video is a hoot as these dopes flail away trying to remove their dogs mouth/teeth clamped onto the sea lion’s neck.
Gifford+astronaut should be hauled into court for destroying a protected species
Pits have been bred for centuries as fighters and killers. Big dogs are not the issue but, the inbred behavior is. All they had to do was put the dog’s head under water and he would have let go. Either that, or choke him down. I once had to choke a Charpai to make him let go of a woman’s hand. When they can’t breathe, they can’t bite.
I’ve never met an out of control dog without an out of control owner.
My mom had a neighbor with too many out of control dogs. He moved. He took a big loss on the property. He was in a hurry.
1. I'd like to know who purchased the dog.
2. I was wondering who can afford to stay at the Montage....government-type....figures.
3. There are signs all around the beach at the Montage designating it as a "Marine Protection Area" and that if you touch/remove anything (a shell, a sea urchin, etc.) that you will be in big trouble. Killing a sea lion - I guess not so much.
I went to bed reading headlines making him a hero as a rescuer of a sea lion.
Now we learn that a Giffords dog mauled a sea lion to death.
That seems like two totally different stories to me.
sea lions should stay in dog-free zones, and from now on back-ground checks and all dog owners.
Sea lions are Federally protected. The favored class skates again.
