Man goes to prison for punching police dog.. story at 11... (http://www.newsnet5.com/news/1587122/detail.html)

I think that's the biggest bunch of bullsh*t I've read in a long time. &nbsp;Since when is a f*cking dog considered equal to a person - oh I'm sorry, I mean an &quot;officer&quot; - such that it would carry a 1 year prison sentence if you assaulted it?! &nbsp;It's a DOG, not a cop... &nbsp;The stupid judge thinks that &quot;police dogs&quot; are actual police officers or something. &nbsp;

So f*cking WHAT if the moron punched the dog in the face?! &nbsp;The dog bit him in his head! &nbsp;Dogs have a pain threshold 10 times that of a person anyway... &nbsp;

good grief!

Piss on that damn judge and her stupid canine lovin' ass...

*disclaimer - I like dogs just fine.

So I guess hitting a police car is the same as hitting a police officer? &nbsp;Hey whether its got two legs or four legs or four tires...

wonder what would have happen if the person cop bit the dude and got punched...I bet the person cop would get in trouble for biting him

those dogs are trained, he got bit for a reason and it sounds like he got away with whatever it was... prolly deserved more than the year in jail he got... even if it was for a BS reason. *i could see a few months if he hit the dog, a year if he like killed it or something
his lawyer sucks ass... they shouldnt be practicing law if he got max sentence for hitting the dog once.
thats my $.02

Oh well sucks for him, shouldn't have been breaking the law. &nbsp;Animal cruelty laws also exist to protect the dog and it's rights...

dogs dont have rights...if they had rights they wouldnt have been in a dangerous line of duty like law enforcement....

Its a law to protect an investment and expensive tool and has nothing to do with rights

dogs don't have rights? &nbsp;why the hell not? &nbsp;What gives any of us the fair judgement to say that we (people) are above any other species. &nbsp;Just because we make up laws doesn't mean dogs don't..

Dogs probably have their own little happy government world <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

dogs lick their own butts, eat poop and hump chairs

LMAO...i dont see any dogs grabbing their little picket signs and going to march in protest or anything over their rights

Were a better species than animals because we drive cars. &nbsp;Thats what seperates us from them. &nbsp;Except for that cat that drives whats his name? He deserves some rights. &nbsp;Toonces I think it was.

Animals don't have rights? &nbsp;Guess you're behind on the times: http://www.animal-law.org/statutes/index.html

humans pick thier noses, masturbate (only humans and 1 species of monkey do it <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>) and kill animals for fun

every species have their faults

The Dog was biting him...how do you justify that the dog's rights should supersede those of the man being attacked?

The guy had good reason to pound that dog's nose in (er, however we don't know the reason the dog bit him in the first place). &nbsp;I'm just expressing my opinion on your comment &quot;dogs don't have rights&quot;.

dogs still dont have rights...

cows dont have rights either unless they have a right to be tasty

arrogant egocentric biatches

there is NOTHIN like a perfectly cooked steak

I wouldn't have punched it...........


Insted I would have jamed my thumbs in its jaw so it couldnt close its jaw to bite me, then I would have probed my index fingers into its eye sockets and dug its eyes out. After that im sure the cop would have been attempting to get me off the dog, so while the sorry ass dog was atempting to bite some thing he couldn't see, I could kick the cop so hard in the nuts he would be able to taste them, then I would have grabed his gun and [ censored ] . Then I would have unloaded a few rounds in the dogs head, then whiped out Mr. Winkey and pissed all over its dead body. &nbsp;Screw Animal rights.

You killed FINNY!!!
You Bastard!

LMAO

Oh yeah, allen does have issue

i thought thats what every logical human being would do, insted of thinking soem thing stupid like a dog having rights.. &nbsp;haha &nbsp;thats funny.. &nbsp;silly me...

i agree with ya clint. &nbsp;i feel that animals have certain rights but lets not go too far with them. &nbsp;all i know is if you dont think animals have rights, then let me come in your yard and kick your dog. &nbsp;clint would hav a crap fit if i kicked mollie and i would kill anyone if they hit Boo Boo. &nbsp;just cause they arent humans doesnt mean you can abuse them.

i agree!

Kicking somone's dog isnt a violation of the dogs rights. *The dog doesnt have the &quot;crap fit&quot;,*the person does. *You know why the person does? *Because youre damaging their property (yes, back to money). *Vet bills are too expensive to go around kicking dogs. *

So is it just animals or do other living things have rights? *Plankton, snakes, rabid possums, ants, flies, mosquitos, black widow spiders, sharks, angry bees? * All of those have the right to die and thats it.

I dump my oil in a hole I dug

Next time you step on an ant, or swat a fly, or eat a peice of meat think about this James and Clint and Zach.

Also, if were going to give animals rights, then why not go so far as to give plants righs to ? I mean.. they breath air... &nbsp;their &quot;living&quot; why should they be treated any diffrently..


What about tires... their made from the Rubber tree, which is a Living Breathing Animal.... We all abuse our tires..think about it.. its all oponions.

I have one of thos too.. &nbsp; jsut pull the car over it to change the oil.. makes it really easy, and clean up is a snap.

if animals shouldn't have rights, then why do we have rights

We have rights because we are much more advanced than animals. *When animals decide they WANT rights then I will acknowledge that they deserve rights. &nbsp;Until then I dont think they have any more rights than any other piece of property.

well you know what they say: ignorance is bliss

Regardless of what we choose to think, say, do, or otherwise the fact stands that laws meant to protect animals do indeed exist. &nbsp;Including,Allen, laws protecting cattle and chickens from in-humane methods of slaughter.

It's an arguable topic if you wish to make it one but argument is just one step. &nbsp;If you truly feel that animals should not have rights you can write your congressman and work with your local and national government to ratify the laws currently in place to protect animals. &nbsp;Don't be suprised however if members of organizations like PeTA, Greenpeace, etc. &nbsp;arrive at you door and work to show you just how little your personal rights mean to them when you decide that the rights of the animals they work to protect are innapropriate.

Might it be simpler to have respect for all living things and realize the systems and hierarchies that exist in nature?

Me man. &nbsp;Me do what want with stupid animal. &nbsp;Me eat animal. &nbsp;Mmm. &nbsp;Me club PETA. &nbsp;Me club Greenpeace. &nbsp;Me club Ethiopians. &nbsp;Me club hungry. &nbsp;Me club drunk. &nbsp;Me club high. &nbsp;Me club hippie. &nbsp;Me club rain forest. &nbsp;Me club sloth. &nbsp;Me club frog. &nbsp;Me club purpoise. &nbsp;Me club manitee. &nbsp;Me club Gorilla. &nbsp;Me club Penguin. &nbsp;Me club elephant. &nbsp;Me club Rhino. &nbsp;Me like global warming. &nbsp;Me swim longer. &nbsp;Me wear loin cloth longer. &nbsp;Me no like tree huggers. &nbsp;UGH

I was thinking about your hippie propaganda and put together a little video of what I think of animal rights and what not. *To observe my views on nature please click here (http://www.unlimiteddevelopments.com/chris/rainforest.wmv)

Let me say this.. animals shouldn't be abused or harmed unduly, but if you hit one in self defense then the owner/handler or whatever should get the hell over it. &nbsp;It's JUST A DOG! &nbsp; <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>

I would have stabbed the damn thing myself... *shrug*

my self and an unnamed friend were riding throught the country one night, and we came across a possum in the road. &nbsp;well we stoped and got out and started pestering it. we finialy decided to give it a good kick. on attempting to get close to it it began hissing so we decided to take a more subtal approach. I had a half of a broken off drive shaft in my trunk. we got it , and gave the possum one good whack in the head. it didnt make a noise, didnt bleed, didnt hiss, jsut......rolled over. &nbsp;right over on its back and didnt move
knocked the s### out of it with a drive shaft and it jsut rolls over. a car was coming so we jumped in the 240 and took off but decided to go abck in a few mins to see if it was dead. &nbsp;we went back and it was no where to be found.
