Hamburg Twp. dirt roads dog alert

[grifter14]

I quit smoking so I've been cranky and mean. Not over the hump yet. What is considered " attacking" though? Dogs will run after cars or bikes... or whatever. They also bark. A dog that is running towards you barking is not " attacking" you. Is that what you think?

First off ..Congrats and good luck on the quitting smoking and staying that way..

Back to topic ..

I think that is your perspective. To many factors come into acct in an individual incident for you to make that blanket statement. A large barking dog, advancing on a person who has never had a dog before, could be considered aggressive by that person (just based on lack of experience). We/I cannot read a dog or its owners mind. I can only use personal experience and the dogs actions to determine if a dog is friendly or hostile. In my case an unrestrained barking dog thats is failing to heed its owners direction and is Chasing/lunging at my bike and heels while I am riding/running/ walking etc is and will be considered aggresive and will be dealt with accordingly.

Ranger Buddy of mine once killed a dog (like lassy) just for barking..suppressed M4 w subsonic ammo was perfect for that job without anyone hearing.

One of my other Ranger buddies had a Rescued Great Dane that was "docile and unprovoked" simply wrap its big mouth around his newborn infants head and punch holes in her skull. Wasnt a sound from either the dog or her prior to the bite. She just started screaming. He walked that dog out back and ended its life there. Thankfully little Nora recovered perfectly.

I like Dogs and grew up around my Best Buddy's dogs. I do not view them as "family members". So for me, when they become a liability its easy for me put them down. I am aware other people view dogs/ bigfoot and animals differently and they have a harder time with that then I do.

Just because you can legally do something doesn't make it ok, or right, or justified. I could *beep* your wife and it's totally legal. Affairs happen all of the time. Legal means nothing in terms of morals.

If I read that right based on your posts here.. Are you insinuating? that a person "who Does or doesnt like dogs and fails to forgive or ignore a violent dog event" isnt moral???

Morals vary like the wind..seriously what do "morals" have to do with Riding a bike +/- a perceived dog "attack"? (which would be a legal situation).

Edit to add..

All you guys out there in Hamburg Township area..a Army buddy of mine lives out there and just adopted a beautiful reverse brindle Mastiff. Whose Dad/Sire stood 4.5 ft at head on all 4s and weighed in at a whopping 260lbs. The puppy is on the fast rtack to catch up to dad..No worries about that puppy though, he's as lazy and friendly as they come.

Aard, here's a video of a group of police in the U.K. being attacked by a pit bull. This is what a real dog attack looks like. Even though there are at least 3 people involved they cannot get the dog off the officer. Of course the police in the U.K. don't carry guns so all they can do is scream and get mauled. In the U.S. they would have resolved this issue very quickly.

I'll say it again, legal or not legal, I don't care. If I'm being viciously attacked by a dog I'm going to do everything in my power to kill that dog and protect myself or loved ones. I'll worry about legalities later.

Grifter, your "ranger" buddies sound like douche bags.

If you are being attacked by a dog you are with in your rights to kill that dog. One technique a friend showed
me is to take your thumb, index and middle finger and jam them into their eye sockets as hard as you can,
then squeeze and pull.
Whatever has ahold of you will let go and not be seeing to well, so you may finish it off or escape. This is a
brutal but very effective technique and works on animals as well as humans. In my wifes self defense class they
showed them how to hold a car key and jam it into an assailants eye.That was just one of the painful and
deadly techniques she learned. I don't hold her down and tickle her anymore.

Grabbing someone by the eye sockets would definitely get the job done... and you'd have eye goo all over your hand

I wondered if I would get that type response. Heheheheh. I intentionally left details out on the first one..And for the most part, at times, from a civilian point of view, I am sure we can be Hehehe ...
