As heated as some of these 'discussions' can get family, but most especially, children should NEVER be brought into it. LTPowell has a beautiful family that he has every right to be tremendously proud of. The smile on his daughters face while shooting with Dad was priceless and his son is putting his life on the line in defense of this country.
I'm sure I speak for others by saying I'm sorry about the previous comments posted by another. Agreed. Bringing family into this is beyond the pale, IMO. Things have sure been nasty around here of late. It's getting old. That was [bleep] sure an awful thing to say & should never, ever be condoned. It's embarrassing and pretty well sickening. Quite a few sure did condone, justify and make lame assed excuses for a terrible thing posted, not very long ago. The common decency ship seems to have sailed, for quite a few. Regular old keyboard slap fights have gotten more caustic and absurd than ever, here.

Speaking of cop-haters... no, I don't hate 'em, I just dislike them, and don't trust them at all to have my best interests at heart. I think they are too quick to kill folks, (and dogs), and they are, for the most part, union guys to boot. No cop ever questions another's actions, and always defends another cop's behavior, no matter how egregiously stupid or wrong. Way too many of you cops equate questioning what cops do to hating them. The two things are vastly different. Hear, hear.

Coming into my yard uninvited is fine! My little Shi Tzu cannot and will not hurt you. I keep her inside. But, if you get bit that's tough [bleep]; my yard has a few (six known at last count) rattlesnakes and I'll be damned if I get rid of them. SURPRISE!? I love surprises! Like dogs and snakes, too.

What is it with cops coming on people's property and shooting their dogs? If I was in your yard, your dog charged me, I'd shoot him also. I'm not a cop. And then I would shoot you. For a dog, you will kill? Lets see, an armed tresspasser is in my yard and shoots my labrador who has no history of violence. I am pretty sure that I am going to be armed and the police will be called. What is the homeowner supposed to think? How can you possibly think it is justified to shoot someones dog. These dogs in the article did not make any mistaked. They did not attack. One was in the cage and the other was lying on the door step. You are trying to create a scenerio where you are an innocent victim and my dog was on the attack... which is not related to this story. I would likely pull a gun on an armed and dangerous tresspasser in my yard who appears to be shooting 'my protector'. Where it goes from there is hard to predict.

Labs aren not violent in IMHO. You have no problems from me.
Responsibility for any pet is a 24/7 job. Not mine as I walk by.

This has been happening in Austin,TX. If your dogs are outside, even in your own yard, this could happen to you. I live in a small town NW of Austin & have been threatend over my Boxers. I now have armed my house & myself as I live alone. I travel in an RV when I travel & they go with me. When I am home inside my home, so are they, inside my home. My dogs were in the completely fenced yard, 6ft chainlink with bars that go into the ground at the gates. I was called on the phone by small town local police, the dogs were barking at them and if I did not "come home" and get them they would be shot. They did not know I was inside the home, the police made it sound like my dogs were outside the fence, they were shocked when I came out the front door and saw 3 cops standing at my gate & yes my dogs were barking at them, from inside the gate. I have a "feeling" my dogs would have been shot dead in the yard if I had not been there so quick from inside the home. Now,I lock my gates with padlocks & with me inside the home, to protect my dogs & myself from the small town local police. I know there are "good" cops & "bad" cops but when you get that GUN officer, you are to protect & serve the public, not kill our pets & children. Texas & the rest of the USA are becomming policed states. People need to be responsible dog owners, police officers need to be accountable for actions they take, even if it is "just a dog".
