I feel sorry for her because she has to live with the fact that she killed an animal who didn't mean her any harm it was probably just scared. She works in a setting where the chances of getting bitten are high so she should know what comes with the "job's territory". Whether it's a 90 lb pit or a 5 lb yorkie a bite is a bite. I've seen enough "little dog" bites at my old job to not excuse it because it comes from a toy breed. Unfortunately, people excuse bites when it comes from small animals because they aren't seen as a "threat" like the larger breeds. I'm not justifying the groomer's reaction and I agree that she should have lost her job as well as pay the owners some type of compensation(not that you could put a monetary value on the situation) but I'm sure it was just that...a reaction. I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt, nonetheless kill the poor dog. |
