Tentacruel Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Being angry? No, I don't think so. Being angry to the point where you verbally abuse them? Yes, I do think so. Verbal abuse that the person literately can't even see is not as bad as getting someone's pet killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Βyakuya Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 The cops did much more wrongs than right in this one. Even if the threat was meant to taunt at Vader and the owner, the cops did a high number of fallacies and believed that euthanizing him was the humane and only way to preserve peace. A bunch of bull cocks to this, since it ruins the reputation of a cop's duty to handle the situation to a more professional group when necessary as well as deal with the situation calmly and not jump to conclusions. I know there have been a bunch of similar cases similar to these errors and deaths, and people can think foxes can be dangerous are dangerous at first, but that does not justify the fact that you are a cop and because wave a big stick does not mean you can blatantly take things in your matter without consent. Police have got to start not accepting idiots into their task forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police have got to start not accepting idiots into their task forces.But intelligent cops don't get hired, at all, so it's not accepting idiots they need to a top, but accepting reasonable human beings. They actually try to nitpick and shy away from cops with average-high IQs. They just want to hire bullies. Also, love how having a fox that does nothin wrong is apparently blasphemous, but keeping a Pitbull isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 It goes without saying who the "antagonist" is here, but on the topic of unjust euthanization on the whole...well, it comes with the name - unjust. Unjust actions is detrimental to our society, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miror B Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Verbal abuse that the person literately can't even see is not as bad as getting someone's pet killed. Doesn't make the actions right. Two wrong's don't make a right. It just turns you backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Think we've already established that the officer involved in capturing Vader was in the wrong (should've listened to his superiors and handled animal properly instead of provoking it/risking a bite) and that the pic should've been checked if it was altered or not (as Yin mentioned, check metadata to see when it was taken). While yes, if it did actually bite someone (again, check if the pic wasn't Photoshopped or something), then law enforcement has right to check it for rabies. As for killing it w/out cause, that's another story. Noting Black's last statement, Pit Bulls pose a far greater danger to people than a silver fox probably ever would (especially Vader), based on the limited knowledge I got on them. Yet, people still have them here in the US (Last time I checked, some countries have bans on owning one, but could be wrong) This goes to show our attitudes towards having unusual animals as pets affects human judgment.
