Not me! The hours of pleasure these wonderful animals give their urban owners between incarcerations are well worth the life of a mail carrier, or child, or two. It's not like the attacks occur everyday ... just once in a while.
I am not suggesting incarceration for the good doctor for the trivial offence of trayvonning a mail carrier, but should she have to spend a night or two in jail, I think the pit should be allowed to share her cell. BTW, Has the good doctor been checked for rabies?
This wasn’t a case of a cop shooting a dog in his own yard, to death, for no reason. These are senseless cases and in those cases I (personally) wouldn’t cry a bit if the officer got taken down by the owner.
A lawful person who is actually being attacked by an animal needs to be able to defend themself from the animal. The carrier further didn’t pupm 4-5 rounds into the animal but used pepper spray, while irritating, generally considered a non-lethal way to break off an animal attack.
I love dogs but I will defend myself from a dog attack.
And according to the dogs in my neighborhood, mailmen are “tasty”, and it’s too much to expect canine-Americans not to snack between meals.
