The dog’s wounds had nothing to do with being tied out. You hijacked the thread with your rant on tying up dogs.
Several dogs have been shot by police in homes, one was killed in an apartment recently. There is another thread this morning where a police officer shot a dog in the owner’s fenced in front yard.
I see the problem as some out of control LEO, they shoot dogs no matter where you keep them. That is becoming a big problem. As a dog owner you might want to think about that.
BS. Certainly, the cop is culpable and primarily responsible, as I've stated repeatedly, over and over and over again. And yes, cops have shot dogs and people in houses. I'm not disputing any of that, but you want to keep fighting that fight.
That said, I made no "rant" on tying dogs up. I simply stated my opinion, that if you have to tie your dog up outside unsupervervised, you really shouldn't have a dog.
That's my opinion, and nobody is going to change it, particularly with the weak, ill-informed, melodramatic, emotionally based arguments you've made.
I agree...LEO are in far too many cases out of control and unaccountable. That's just one of many very good reasons why you shouldn't leave a dog tied up unsupervised and at the mercy of unaccountable cops who decide to traipse through your yard. You bellow that cops are (certainly in this case) the problem, but then you argue that taking a reasonable step to protect dogs from them and limit their exposure to them (i.e. securing them in a residence) is somehow the wrong thing to do.
