So, you are calling the cops liars?
"Irving police confirmed the dogs were both pit bulls."
No, I am saying there is more to this than reported. But because the cops (well, actually the press liaison) claim the dogs are pit bulls (maybe they are, but most cops don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground about dog breeds) no more facts are required. I want more info.
No matter what kind of dogs are involved, are you not the least bit curious what really happened? Again, there is more to this than we are reading. I don’t care about the dog breed, something smells funky about this incident. Just say pit bull and we are not allowed to ask for any facts. Sort of like when the Democrats cry racist, everyone is required to shut up.
What I'd like is to see a few news stories that are properly researched and reported by someone that can actually spell journalism - without a spell checker of course.
Did the "reporter" go to the animal hospital and interview the vets, call them maybe? Or just read the police report? It is an animal hospital. Why not ask the vet some questions? Did the vet state the breed of the dogs? After rereading the story it looks to me like the whole thing came directly from the police report.
"The dogs were in quarantine at O'Connor Animal Hospital to be tested for rabies.
Apparently, like the rest of the posters in this thread, the reporter did not find it the least bit curious that hospital staff permitted the woman to be enclosed alone with dogs being tested for rabies - dogs that had bitten someone already. I suspect that if/when a lawyer brings that point up to a jury, dollar signs are going to be flashing in neon. Some serious liability issues here.
Apparently I am now an advocate of pit bulls killing people because I expect some lazy "reporter" to do his job and not simply regurgitate a police report.
Oh, in answer to your question, do I think the police are lying? These are the dog experts dressed in blue and carrying guns that break into people's homes and shoot 11 pound dogs that are supposedly threatening their lives. This would be the home(s) where these brilliant public servants entered the wrong address based only on the paid word of a druggie informant. Pardon me for being skeptical. I'm somewhat surprised that these canine experts can tell the difference between a Great Dane and a miniature pony. /Only partly sarcastic
