This Makes Me So Mad

I just read and re-read all posts and did not see one person defends this man.

hahhaha....I am not angry, sick or upset.

You, on the other hand seem to have some kind of very strong emotions this morning what with all your carrying on and saying people should be woman enough to admit their wrongs...and going on and on with bold capital letters.

As I said, I re-read every ones post. There was no defending his action for killing the dog. ppl read into posts what they want. I saw NO DEFENDING of dog to be killed. Not in your post or anyone else.

Yes, I know what you said and I know what I said.

I suppose I should not read into things, but I am as human as anyone else.

Like I said before, a dog can get away in a blink of an eye from the most diligent of dog owners. Tragic that someone would choose to slam a dog in the head with a rock rather than other options. I don't for a minute believe it had to do with his fears. I am sure that this is not the first dog he has encountered...something odd about this one. My opinion.

wow, another misinterpret, all that was said is owners should be more watchful. By no means in my readings did I think they were putting the blame on the owners. Yes dogs do get out of yards somehow, but should it be killed? I think not. It is not always negligence on the part of the owners if a dog somehow gets out of a secured yard.

You can rant all day long about this. My opinion will remain the same.

I don't know who you were directing the "play little games" sentence at but I asked you to quote me you're choosing not to. No big. As I said before ppl can take what one means the wrong way on a forum. I am placing blame on the dogs owner just as I can place blame on the carrier. If the owners had been watching their pet which is their responsibility and checked the fence lining the situation more than likely wouldn't have occurred also if the carrier would have walked away it may not have occured. You're not this particular person (mail carrier) so you and I don't know what he was thinking. He could be some crazy psycho who was just waiting for a chance to harm/kill an animal or he could have legitimately been scared out of his brains and reacted without thinking. We don't know because we aren't him.

I'll now withdraw, but will remember not to have an opinion here in future...

Oh please do give opinions, that is what I have read about YT is all about, opinions matter, do not put your tail between your legs and be scared off by opinions given on your opinions.
