I want to comment on the “pet owner” and the DPS trooper, debate.
If I were a judge, I would put the dog’s owners in jail for six months, take their dogs away, make them pay a fine to Trooper Cole Dunaway for the trauma, pain and suffering they caused him, and fine them for the pain and suffering they caused their dogs.
How dare they point their guilty fingers at Dunaway and vilify him? Our DPS are trained to serve and protect. This situation was caused by the dog owner’s negligence. Neglect is abuse. It’s a crime of omission. Now they want someone else to pay for their crime? That is immoral.
Dunaway could have left the dogs where they were, in the street, where they could have been hit again and killed. Imagine how Dunaway must have felt when he hit them? From what I’ve read, Dunaway does not sound like a heartless, irresponsible or conscienceless person.
I don’t buy the lie that the dog owners don’t have the money to pay to get their dogs to the vet. Animals, like children, get injured, and accidents in the real world happen, especially to them.
These people sound like “free ride” people to me, their money is for fun and pleasure, and, by default they neglect their moral and legal obligations, twist the blame from themselves to others, make others feel guilty and responsible for the tragedies they cause and get others to pay to clean up the pain, misery and suffering they cause.
Where were they when they “came home this week” as the article reads? Who was watching their pets? How did they pay for their trip, the gas, the food they ate, the place they stayed?
I’ll bet they have plenty of money for their amusement and pleasure, the latest gadgets for themselves and their children? What are pet to them: cute gadgets when they got them, pawns that con artists use to get other’s emotions, like the man with the child who came to my door and several other doors to get money to help pay for the boy’s “grandmother’s” funeral?
And for all you who cried “foul” when the animal shelter euthanized the animals in the shelter, how dare you point your guilty fingers at them. Where did those animals come from, who owned them to begin with?
