I never thought we'd get to the point in this country where dogjacking became this common. It's mostly French Bulldogs.

It should perfectly legal and acceptable to shoot anyone trying to rob anyone. The deader they get the better for society as a whole.

Save taxpayer money and make the world a better place in a few well placed shots.

Maybe she forgot to tie the knot tight enough and they just walked away. Stranger things have happened.

I have not been to missoula for a long time. I knew a bunch of people who lived there back then.

Almost 40 years, is it really so bad now?

Dogs are usually safe to tie up, but never leave your cat unattended in front of a chinese buffet

People who tether their dogs outside a store should have their shins broken.

When my Grandpa would come to visit he always brought these wonderful tacos.

When he stopped bringing them, we asked him why.

He said “Board of Health closed them down. They were serving cat meat.”

We called cats “walking tacos” for years after that!!

Does everyone have a strong stomach? Our human race is guilty of vile evil.
Let’s get started.

I first learned of this reprehensible practice of stealing dogs when my sister in law’s dog was stolen. Police knew of black juveniles (10-13 years old) and they were later arrested. Also a woman at work had a rescue dog with severe scarring and hairless skin from being used as bait.

What is a bait dog used for in dog fighting?
Bait animals are used for training, to test another dog’s fighting instinct. Larger dogs are also used as bait, except their mouths are often duct taped shut so they can’t fight back and risk injury to the fighting dog. When bait animals have served their purpose, they are killed, or released to quietly die alone.

Bait dogs
Any dog with size and muscle can make a successful fight dog. When breeding dogs for fighting, some puppies will not have as good of a fighting instinct as their litter mates; these dogs are then used as “bait dogs” to train the fighters.

Many dogs and puppies given away for free also end up as bait dogs. People who train fighting dogs and arrange these illegal events will often put up online ads on sites like Craigslist looking to adopt dogs, or seek out other pet owners who avoid bringing their pets to shelters and instead are hoping to give them away for no charge, fast. These bait dogs are also commonly stolen pets.

Woofers found, no details. The suspects appear to be either Indians or mex.
UPDATE:

As of 3:00 pm, the dogs were located and reunited with their owner, however, law enforcement is still looking to identify suspects.

Really? I have to explain that I meant the first meaning of ‘rob’ as in from a person.

Stealing is bad but robbing someone is a grievous offense personally. It’s assault, taking of property, it can end up with a dead victim, a traumatized victim that will be that way for life. I could go on but you should be getting the drift by now.

Yes; it should be perfectly legal to kill someone trying to rob you.
