I grew up coon hunting all over Jackson County.
Disgusting :(
“...said the raccoon Grizz killed put a hole in the garage. It damaged a door, ate stored bird feed and knocked tools off a work bench. It was “raising hell,” Mike Foster said.”
Another article I read said that Foster was filing a counter-suit against the young raccoon’s mother and father for not keeping him controlled. Party to the suit is the local Sheriff, County Animal Control officer, and the town Zoning Council.
Too bad the stupid kids were there to video tape it. And if they were my kids, they would have been reprimanded for egging the dog on - that’s not right. But a fine!? (The audio on those cell phones is pretty bad, I wonder if his lawyer can make the jury hear “Go Grizz, that coon will tear you apart”.
“Shoot
Shovel
Shut-up”
Good advice...... ;>)
Next we will be jailed for killing snakes that lurk under our homes or bees in the air handler of our AC’s.
"Blumer said it would be different if the dog had gotten the raccoon on its own and killed it without human intervention. In that case, it’s nature."
Do they even care if the baby coon was rabid or not?
“Clearly the law needs to be changed to permit dogs to clear vermin from dwellings. Or would they rather have people trying to shoot these?”
How about instead of changing the law, everyone just mind their own business.
I have read this thread and seen comparisons to a human baby being killed. I also hear a bunch of amateur attorneys (the only thing worse than amateur attorneys are real attorneys) dissecting little points of law.
To hell with all that. Everybody just needs to mind their own business and stay out of each others way. If real damage to real property or life occurs then fine. But this is just a bunch of nosy, bored, weenies with nothing to do other than figure out new and exiting ways to control the actions of others.
The prosecutor should be tarred and feathered. Same with any police or deputies that serve the papers. It’s time to go all 1774 and regain our individual liberties. Remember that? How does the song go? “This land of liberty to thee I sing”. Hell liberty hasn’t been seen here for 100 years. Anybody know where she went?
Where are the rights of animals mentioned in the constitution? I’m just not finding it.
Blumer is surplus population
My Jake’s total, that I know of. 6+ land crabs, 3 snakes, 1 iguana. Sargent and Major(Beagles), where partial to rabbits. Major got paid back when he got to close to a gator.
All 6 of my dogs never learned to stay away from the Buffos!
Fine if you live on 20 acres. Not so fine if my house is right next door.
Idiots will always be amonst us, which is why we need laws, police, guns, etc...
A few minutes to kill it. Would have been mercifully quick for Terri Schindler Schiavo, who was 13 days dying of dehydration, and she didn’t damage anyone’s garage. No charges (in this world) brought against any of her killers or their enablers or their defenders.
Wow! It knocked some tools off a bench, so sic the dog on it so it can be ripped apart for the kids entertainment! I hope those poor little innocent kids get some karma.
I watched a Jackson City cop nearly shoot himself one day while putting down a deer that had been hit by a car. The deer’s head was on the sidewalk and the idiot put his service weapon right up to its temple and pulled the trigger.
“If real damage to real property or life occurs then fine.”
That is the threshold. Take responsibility for your own safety. A high fence and strong front door makes for great neighbors.
Police and courts are last resort and for cleaning up the mess.
I bet this jackass DA figures the man should have called the police to handle this.
