TAMPA, Fla. — Not all pet owners are good caretakers of their beloved four-legged friends, veterinarian Dr. John Gicking told WTSP.

“There aren’t specific training that’s done, and that’s probably one of the reasons vets are targeted in particular because we want to make sure pets are being comfortable if they are in pain.”

Veterinarians across the country have reported cases where owners are using their pets to get their hands on a drug called tramadol, an opioid painkiller.

In Kentucky, police said a dog had to get stitches after his owner cut him open so she would be prescribed the painkiller. Then in Oregon, last year, a raid led authorities to seize 100,000 tramadol pills and rescue over a dozen dogs.

" Drugs are a victimless crime....... "


Bullshit.

Anyone that believes drugs are a victimless crime, does not live in the real world.

Victimless crime, my ass...

I'm sure Obama hired Baghdad Bob to be his minister of propaganda on that whole subject....

Agreed. Another mantra of the left, with no basis in fact. The "repeat it a lot and they'll believe it" tactic. Seems to work.

John, it has to be true. I have heard it right here on the campfire, several times. miles

and yet we have this crime because of the 'war on drugs'. I still think all drugs should be totally legal, with the caveat that if your life style choice goes awry, there is not going to be any emergency help for 'ya.

Unfortunately, it's the family that suffers most.

It's their choice. Unfortunately many people refuse to cull family.

That's stupid

We were taught in Criminology 40 years ago that 90% of ALL crime was drug related. ( stuff gets stolen to pay for drugs..)
Haven't seen that change, and the ones is gets stolen from I would consider victims...

More often than not families are enablers[whether by intent or not].

Not always, Raeford. Got a couple friends whose sons aren't around any more might have a different view on that.

I agree LD, didn't by any means want to imply that ALL families enable the behavior, yet many do[like grandma feeling sorry and handing $50 for food etc].

I've never even heard of tramadol.

cutting a dog

worthless sumbitches

Heck junkies will turn out their own mothers, wives, and children for drugs.

i have one of those right across the way here. g-ma fed and housed the
2 drug addled grandsons after they got turned out of prison, sometimes
staying up and awake for several days then showing up for showers and
a 2 day nap and clothes washing service, etc. break-ins around the
neighborhood, strangers and strange cars cruising the street at all hours. now one has racked up his 3 strikes and went back for the long
haul last year. they always seem to come up with the cash for beer and
smokes and new ink, but can't seem to pay their debts. hopefully, the
other one will rack up his 2rd strike sooner than later without some
bystander paying the price. i don't think g-ma realizes if he gets
caught selling out of her house that she'll go too.

Down here they can take your house for that.

The US should start executing drug dealers, it might put a stop or dent in drug trafficking. Mandatory viewing of the executions for high school students so they know what happens to drug dealers!
