UPDATE: Dog dragged to death - Page 1

SEE LAST POST,  ARREST MADE:

Another sick individual in our country......

---------------------------------------
The body of a dog with rope around its neck has been found in the Colorado National Monument, apparently dragged to its death by a car.

Monument superintendent Joan Anzelmo says the adult male German Shepherd was found at about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday. She says tracks left in the snow tell the story. She said they initially show the dog walking, then running and then being dragged over about 3 miles up steep and winding Rim Rock Drive.

The dog was left near the first tunnel on the west side of the park, which has sweeping views of red rock canyons. Anzelmo says park employees are determined to find whoever was responsible and will be working with veterinarians in the area to see if they have any information on the dog.

When we find this individual we should take whoever it was on a longer trip at the end of a rope in the summertime or a very short trip at the end of a rope! When justice becomes swift and ruthless stuff like this will stop!

One thing that bothers me about this story (among other things) is the "title", which is Colorado dog dragged to death by car.

How about the individual that did this, why not focus on him/her? I'm sure the car didn't wake up one morning and decide he was going to kill a dog with the help of a rope. I'll bet this is not the first time this person has been involved in abuse.

Some sick individual needs to get jail time, not the car, or the rope, or the gun, or the knife etc. etc.


Good morning Hodie, Happy New Year!!!!!

Can you tell I don't like the press? LOL

Take care Hodie!

I suppose nobody has thought that perhaps a) the dog did not belong to the car driver b) that he did not know it was attached to the back of the car c) that it was a horrible accident.

These things have happened before, when people have temporarily hitched their dog to a tow bar and then driven off........
Leaving the dog there may have seemed reasonable depending on a) how full the car was b) whether there were children inside c) if the dog was the car driver's..........and d) was it even "left" but had it just come adrift?

 Ninja,

That particular news web site is certainly not my favorite. Sometimes the titles they use are way off base. I believe they use a lot of interns, some of whom cannot write a grammatically correct sentence either. I looked at other web sites for the same information and as of now, have not seen it.

 In any case, this is another sick b@#$*&% who should be in jail. By the way, they have FINALLY arrested the man and woman responsible for 100 sled dogs who were starving up in the mountains near Hartsel, CO (eight dead around the property). A few have since died. The others are in shelters/rescues all around the state. The legal system doesn't move quickly when animals are involved. 

And Happy New Year to you as well Ninja!

Hodie the only reason I mentioned it is because I see articles titled "SUV kills three people etc". Then you read the article and in the fine print you read some drunk was driving it.

Just me.

Sorry, having had to pull things with vehicles before, you just don't drag a 50-80 lb object behind a vehicle without knowing it is there. And if there are children in the vehicle...this is what you're teaching them about responcibility? And respect for life? Sorry, that doesn't fly. No way! Don't give a crap if it was an accident....this whole senario stinks, & someone should be held accountable. Poor dude, first walking & then running behind, then drug to death......can you imagine what was going through that poor dogs mind? Sometimes I am ashamed to be human............& then others can defend this behaviour?!?! WTF! jackie harris--thoroughly pissed off & upset--

I was not defending any behaviour from anyone.

Just because something appears in print does not a) make it so and b) does not give the full picture.

I do not jump on bandwagons, nor do I spend my life being "outraged" at headlines which are designed to invoke just this response.

Sometimes jumping to conclusions is the only exercise some people get and if you think you cannot drag something that weighs 80lbs behind you on the snow without knowing about it, you may not have a great deal of experience of towing items uphill in snow.

As I said in my original post, this has happened before many many times usually with gundogs.

I like to ascertain the full facts before I come to a reasoned decision but I realise that is not everyone's preference.

Well lets see!!!!!!! nobody here to say I did it so it must have been visitors from outer space!!! Tracks left in the snow ????? but aliens do not leave tracks right1 Simple case of running the tire tread and locating the buyer ! Oh so now some few select oare demanding the whole truth! distingush between the car doing it and who ever in heck drives a car. Maybe a robot did it? h please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some asshole drug a gsd to death and a few want to quiblle about wheter the car was red or black .Did it have a full tank of gas! Oh maybe the assholes were smokin pot and coke and failed to realize they had a damn dog tied to the back of theri spaceship!
