charge thieves w/ dog's death?

[Smittie61984]

If the dog was killed by a snake bite or even an aortic dissection due to the stress of running then I wouldn't put the perp at fault. If they find trauma on the dog that can be attributed to the perp then nail him.

As for charging them the same thing as assaulting a police officer (or even one step down) I can't agree with. I love dogs more than anything (especially humans), but I would look at a police dog as a peice of government property more than an officer.

Ideally the home owner would have been home and able to shoot the suspect dead right there (well after a half hour or so of bleeding through their stomach from a gut shot).

turns out dude killed dog by strangling it, change anybody's mind?

"The suspect could be charged with interfering with a canine, which is a third-degree felony, but the constable's office wants the charge upgraded."

Yes. He killed the dog. Do you not understand there is a difference between a dog dying in pursuit and somebody killing it? I'm being serious, yes or no?

[RACER X]

are we talking police dog or reg. dog.

You're being purposely dense.

Dog runs into tree while chasing man and dies, that is not the mans fault.

Same dog gets strangled by man, that is the man's fault.

Trying to explain something to you is like trying to explain to a kid they don't like cookies. They'll smike and agree, but the don't give a shit what you're saying. They already have their mind made up..

Ps, merry xmas.

Wait...Racer X has a MIND?

...Then He clearly just got it as a gift for Xmas, if so...but I haven't seen any evidence of it yet.

The dog is a cop. Period. Perp kills cop in order to escape detection and flee. Perp pays.

These aren't your regular dogs. They're exceptional, and deserve every bit of respect that we give the two-legged officer. Lucky that he won't get the big shot.

And the boys in prison don't like perps who kill animals. Kinda like they don't like perps who mess w/kids. Guess he better be careful not to drop the soap. No sympathy here.

He only killed it because he was defending himself. I don't think he walked up to the dog or chased after the dog and stangled it.
