I think I have heard it all now.. dogs given cocaine?

[EvilCapitalist]

What a terrible way to go.

One does Not share Cocaine.

;)

I can hear the dumbass owners now: "Oh, they're just big fur-babies. They won't hurt anyone - they just want to play!"

[gundog]

Can’t have sleepy watchdogs.

Given?

They 'prolly mauled the druggie who had the cocaine and took it!

[mikey_hates_everything]

Left on a table and they probably didn’t snort it. Or maybe they did at first... What do you think, Yogi?

[KierkegaardMAN]

One can’t expect the owners to give the dogs champagne, they would tell strangers the alarm code.

[EvilCapitalist]

Read the whole article, it’s worse than that.

The sequel to Cocaine Bear —— Cocaine Pit Bull.

Horrible for the grandmother and her family.

I can only think you’d give a pit bull cocaine if you were going to enter it into an illegal and immoral dog fight.
Otherwise it’s a very expensive habit. I wonder if the owner kept his stash hidden under their doghouse or something.

That included police body camera footage showing officers responding to reports that Echo and Apollo had ingested Adam Withers’ cocaine just weeks before the horrifying deadly attack

Cocaine stays in your system for weeks?

They were giving the dogs cocaine on a regular basis?

Were the dogs snorting, smoking or eating it?

This story made my head hurt.

And yeah, they look like the kind of people who would be taking cocaine. I try not to judge a book by the cover but when the cover has a bloody knife on it the probability of it being a cozy romance is pretty slim.

This is a horrible story. I can’t make any jokes about how this woman suffered before she died, and clearly the owners were trash. Glad they were convicted.

Their owners, Adam Withers and his mother, Susan, were both convicted of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Echelbarger’s death last month, court records show.

Based on the social media comments by Adam which showed a total lack of concern for others, if I were the judge, he would be getting the maximum punishment allowed that hopefully, includes prison time.

The owners of these killer dogs should be tried for murder. And if the condo association had knowledge of these dogs being anywhere near the place, they should be tried also. Civilly and criminality.

Laws need to be passed banning these dogs.

One came on my property a while back and came after me when I tried to shoo it away from our chickens. I shot it in the front should with a 9mm defensive round. It buckled down and limped off. About a half hour later it was back and walking normal. Satan’s hounds.

[Responsibility2nd]

I really resist the urge to throat punch any sappy broad who uses that term.

I doubt a man would use that term, unless he had no cajones.

There used to be some dippy gals who used that term here at FR. I haven’t seen it used in awhile lately. That’s good.

“pit bulls that were high on cocaine”

That’s like a nuke that explodes more nukes

[ronniesgal]

ugh! furbabies.

I’m stream watching recent Jeopardy shows this week. There was a clue about a dark remake of a loveable bear.

Even I knew it was Winnie the Pooh.

God knows why, but the contestant said “Who is Cocaine Bear”?

Laughter all around.
