An interesting case

[paulpomes]

I love drugs. They make the risk of the hazardous things I do manageable. Anytime I consider doing something with an animal in a quick and dirty way I ask myself, "Will this put my assistant at unacceptable risk?" If there's any doubt I muzzle, and if there's still a doubt after that I'll require sedation. Last night was one of those cases.

And here I'm wondering whether it is the dog or its owners who are to eat the phenobarbital or telazol/acepromazine meatball...

>As an aside I'm utterly opposed to breed-specific restrictions. These dogs weren't born a hazard to themselves and others, they were made that way either by neglect or abuse. What I am in favor of is making cruelty or neglect reason to remove all animals from a home and make future possession of an animal a felony. I also don't feel that salvaging these animals is worth the risk to others. Having demonstrated such uncontrolled aggression both animals should be euthanized

I concur re euthanasia

I must concur regarding euthanasia in these animals. I've been at this gig for over 30 years now (30 years????omg! I'm old, get off my lawn!) and the situation never improves but will deteriorate exponentially with each trauma/vet visit to the point where somebody is gonna get hurt.
Invest time, affection and finance into one of the other (millions of) animals that aren't social defects.
