Laughed so loud I woke up the cat. He was in the bedroom, I'm in the living room. Really.
Dude has his dangly bits damn near torn from his body. Where do they take him? Ball Memorial Hospital of course. via The Smoking Gun

Damn. I guess it is true what they say about a woman scorned! I have a question though. I seriously doubt if she could done that type of damage through clothes. That leads me to believe that he MAY have been "working at his computer" in a less than fully clothed manner. The article does not specify.

Okay, this is a WTF news item, and it's not a WTF news item.
Sure, you can't just go door to door handing out retired wardogs. But, just kill 'em? That seems extremely callous, especially when you take into account what these dogs did. No telling the lives that were saved by these dogs. No telling the things these dogs did for their handlers. If you use such a noble animal in such a way, the least you can do is let the poor thing live out his life. They should keep the dogs up for the rest of their lives. I hope whoever had the final sayso on killing these dogs, lives a long, healthy, prosperous life. And when he/she does die, hopefully in their sleep, at 100+ yrs of age, I hope they get to heaven. To find that God is a retired wardog. Quote:

If fighting pit bulls can be rehab'd (and, no, not all of them can be), I'd be willing to bet that the majority of these dogs wouldn't have to be killed.
They are trained to follow commands , after all.

I don't know anything about training dogs, but I wouldn't want a dog that was trained to attack people to be living next door.
Maybe they could put them on a farm somewhere. With a tall fence. Patrol a base or something. "Smithers, release the hounds." |

I'm with Glatt here.
But if everyone signing the petition was willing to pay The Dog's Trust to support a war dog for life, then they could work out a way to stop this happening.

Also have to take into account that some of these dogs will be suffering from post traumatic stress. Not for a moment suggesting that dogs with pts can't be rehabilitated, but if it is manifesting in ways that make the dog dangerous and unapproachable, then adds further complications to an already fraught situation. Not to mention the suffering of the animal in the meantime.
I'd be interested to know how many have been rehoused. The dogs who've been put down may represent the most damaged and difficult cases. Given the nature of their work, that's likely to be quite a high proportion I'd imagine.

That's the sort of thing I was talking about. I wasn't suggesting they keep the retired wardogs down at the local daycare, or kindergarten playground.
Somewhere appropriate. Also, people's taxes paid for these dogs and their training. The allocations should include providing for them after they've "served their usefulness". Don't most of these type dogs actually have a rank? I know most police dogs do. They're treated as soldiers, while they're "useful", and like garbage, to be thrown away, when they're used up. This has bothered me way more than I thought it would.

But English tax-payers should pay for pensions for dogs? ETA that was s'posed to be a joke but came off xenophobic and a bit nasty, sorry.

But we're also the people who donate thousands to repair anonymous broken doggehs. I would like to believe that this (the wardog problem) doesn't happen here, but, I'm sure we do the same thing.
Sadly enough.

We donate ridiculous amounts to animal charities in the UK.

There's a shortage of donkeys.
They're a real money-spinner. People are so keen to hand over cash to 'save' the cute little things that groups/charities/whatever are trying to import them and paying over the odds for any available. Some owners are getting several 'wanna sell your donkey' calls every week from these folk. I like animals (well, most of them) but I wouldn't hand a penny over to 'save' one while there are still humans in the world going hungry. |
