Dog Ruled "Vicious" For Attacking Landscaper"PRINCETON TOWNSHIP -- A German shepherd that attacked a landscaper was ruled vicious by a Municipal Court judge and four other dogs were found to be poten tially dangerous . . .
. . . Guy James saw the workers drive up and told them to wait in their car until he returned and told them the dogs were inside. The men waited about 13 minutes, then two got out and started work, the judge wrote. After a minute, Elizabeth James told them to get back in the car. Several of the dogs ran over, barking. One of the workers was frightened and repelled the dogs with a rake, the judge wrote.
Elizabeth James shouted for the worker to stop hitting the dogs with the rake, and Rivera, who was frightened and seeking protection, grabbed her from behind, according to the ruling. She began screaming. Rivera then fell to the ground. At that point, Congo began to bite him and the other dogs joined in, the judge said.
After about three minutes, Guy James came out of the house and stopped the dogs from attacking, according to the opinion. Rivera was taken to The Medical Center at Princeton where he was treated for multiple bite wounds."
Okay, so the Landscapers didn't wait like they were supposed to. They started attacking the dogs with a rake. And Rivera was assaulting the dog's owner.
I don't know about you, but that's exactly what I'd want a dog to do when someone is manhandling its owner. Not to mention that the dumbassed Judge called the attack "unprovoked." Well in addition to assaulting Congo's owner, before that Mr. Rivera was HITTING THE DOGS WITH A FUCKING RAKE!! Since when does that NOT equal provocation?
I would say we should all email the moron of a judge who made this ruling to tell him he's a fucking moron (in so many words . . . not literally of course!), but from what I understand, he's shut down his email. How convenient!
The owners are appealing the ruling, so I hope for the best.
