but they are a master manipulator so not surprised.

I don't know who these people are but hm @ jeffree star saying that.

I'd like more information. What was the child doing to the dog? Is this the first time? Why was behavioral training for the dog not an option?

[frejabehaerich]

the kid was taking food from the dog while the dog was eating. the same kid also gave the dog a cauliflower ear. the killers claim the dog had shown aggressions years before this, and did nothing to separate the dog from their kid.

it's also crazy to me how they were so fearful that they had to kill the dog, yet before they killed him, made him do a photoshoot where the kid was inches away from him. it makes no sense.

[sandstorm]

So they're just super oblivious and fairly morbid. Imagine being that kid and growing up to see that dog you remembered as a child? the one your parents said 'went to a farm'? yeah your parents killed it bc they decided not to teach you or it any damn thing.

Animal cruelty laws need to be written to take things like this into account.

I hope this couple fucking burns, in one way or another

[idigurmohawk]

oh fuck no

I just saw this on Vulture and read about it on blogsnark. Wow. What absolute nightmares. To have a pre-death photoshoot with a dog so dangerous you are ending his life but you have your baby next to the dog in said photoshoot!? Ghoulish and so horrific.

what the FUCK

[trekkiepetrelli]

as an owner of a dog, who was very bite-y as a puppy, this whole story makes me so fucking mad.

they are cowards for switching off comments. they're probably hoping everyone will forget about it in 2 weeks time.

wut the fuck!!! this is weird and cruel and goes on for too long. clearly they get a kick out of riling their dog up for views.

[stillglows]

what the fuck how was rehoming not an option because they had had the dog for so long? that's ridiculous. so many people have to give up pets they've had for years for various reasons. sounds like they didn't try, didn't care, want sympathy, all of the above.

all of my dogs have bit me at some point but putting them down has never come to mind (one time i did end up having to go to the hospital). normally because when i've been bit i know it's my fault or there have been other factors. and then i've worked with them to make sure it doesn't happen again.

this makes me so angry. the poor dog didn't deserve this. i can't even look at that sweet puppers face it's too upsetting :(

I did get bit by my neighbors Doberman as a kid and my neighbor offered to put him down and my mom was like, "because my daughter was stupid?"

Their kids (older than me but still young) literally told me not to go near him multiple times and eight year old me was like "but animals love me! 😇" Yeah...no. The only thing I'd say on them is that dog really needed to have an adult with him, not just a 12 year old holding him back.

Anyhow, now I don't approach dogs without explicit permission and I'm shocked at how many parents just let their kids walk up to strange dogs.

[stillglows]

i just don't understand why this is even a consideration for people. unless a dog is super aggressive all the time and even then you can work with the dog or put them in better situations. i fully believe that dogs are only as bad as they are treated or their owners let them be

Its wild lol. My then three year old got really excited one day at the park because there was this big fluffy, gorgeous dog sitting with its family at a picnic bench. I literally just caught his hand before he zoomed out of reach to go pet it. I asked the mum if the dog was okay with a little kid petting him and she just laughed and then politely told me it was better he stayed back as he was funny about being approached by strangers. I was so bloody glad I grabbed my kid in time.

I fucking hate them. I just lost my mini poodle six weeks ago who wasn’t the nicest dog but I loved her bitch ass and I, as her owner, knew what her limits were and how much stress she could handle. I would have never put her in a situation where she’d attack someone, let alone have to put her down because of it. SCUM.
