Man Fatally Shot While Beating Dog With Shotgun
Police: Weapon Must Have Discharged As Man Beat His Shar-Pei
WINCHESTER, Va. -- A man was shot fatally while trying to beat his dog to death with a shotgun, Winchester police said.
Police say the man called his wife at work Thursday and told her that their dog had bitten him and he intended to kill it.
Police say the wife Raymond Poore Jr. found him covered with dog bites and suffering from a shotgun wound to his abdomen. He died later at Winchester Medical Center.
Police say the shotgun must have gone off while Poore was using it to beat the 30-pound Shar-Pei. The stock of the weapon was broken and there appeared to be blood and dog hair on it.
A Winchester animal control officer took custody of the dog. There's no word on how badly it was injured.

Clearly, there needs to be a mandatory 7 day waiting period on Shar Peis.

I know some of you brought up the "Florida Connection" (more accurate: Liberal Democrat Florida Connection...remember, GOP Floridians know how to vote)
The link is from a Floirda TV station website....WESH TV is from Orlando (channel 2, NBC affiliate)
By the way: Has there been any response from PETA yet..LOL

LOL. I was wondering the same thing. And I always heard that Sharpei weren't very bright. Guess this one got the last laugh.
To: Wolfie
Ooh, that one was corny.

Darwin award for sure... Found with dog bites, scratches and a 410 load to the belly. I don't know if that's God's sense of humour or justice.

I notice you used the Winchester location in the dateline. How can you be sure this tragedy did not occur in Remington, or Ithaca? I'll beretta you never even checked and went off half-cocked again.
Stop these shell games, Shermy. We can never gauge your intentions. Or take proper stock of your fantastic posts. I remain, choked up over this, KB

Reminds of the story about man here in Georgia who was tormenting a billy goat, the goat somehow got the man on the ground and gored him to death. Coincidently the man had named the goat satan. Dogs are very much like children, their behavior is a direct result of how they are treated by their parents. This man had it coming, GO DAWGS.
