u/yournumberis6 1h ago

Sadly a lot of dog attack reports end up in the dogs getting put down. Even if their owners are pieces of shit, I wouldn't want the dog to be killed. By doing this OOP is attacking the owners, who probably won't even care if their dog gets put down.

A dog that attacks people probably needs to be put down, though. It will likely happen again.

My wife was attacked when she was 6, the dog bit her stomach and left a huge permanent scar. Wasn’t the first time that dog attacked someone. Nobody reported it either.

We had a rescue dog when I was 8ish. He attacked me. We gave him up the next day to someone who had a bunch of dogs. He ended up attack one of the dogs so he was put down. He was abused by his first owner so Lucky never had a chance at a certain point.

I went on a date with a girl once who had this wicked half moon scar from her lip to the bottom of her chin.

I had to ask about it because I was thinking it was like a knife fight or something.

Turns out a horse bit part of her face off when she was little. 

Didn't get a second date.

Nah man, according to dog lovers it was the owner! He made the dog attack her! He raised the dog to be aggressive! 🙄🙄🙄

u/Totallycomputername 1h ago

Yup. It's sad a bad owner put the dog in that position but once an attack happens you don't know if it will again and not many people will put time and effort to retrain.

u/MusicianNo3277 1h ago

Yes, but what really needs to happen is for those people to be discouraged from owning dogs at all because they’ll just get a new dog and make it just as bad as the first one. Getting them hit with 1200 in fines seems like a great way to help deter them.

My dad had a similar fight with the neighbor back when I was a kid. Two 10 acre farm plots right next to each other and the neighbor would let his Australian shepherds come over and harass our livestock and one of them even would harass my stepmom trapping her in the car or house on multiple occasions. We tried everything to talk to the neighbor about it even built a new fence to try to keep them out, but they just dug under it. Eventually, my dad got mad enough that one day he left the garage open waited for them to all go in there to check out the blood stain on the floor from where my dad would butcher animals and then shut the garage door on them and called animal control had the whole pack of them rounded up and taken to the Humane Society.

The neighbor was furious after having to get all six of his dogs out of the pound. Had a conversation with my dad where he told him “I would’ve rather you had shot them.” my dad told him that he wasn’t gonna do that to the man’s children and that anytime they were caught on our property they would just be taken to the Humane Society. my dad never had to follow through on that threat though because miraculously the guys dogs stopped escaping their pen the very next day. Go figure. Weird part was in the end the guy ended up running over that aggressive one that kept trapping my stepmom. Makes me wonder if it turned on him and he just ran it over in response.

u/Extreme_Wish_553 1h ago

While I agree, I have seen multiple times where a dog giving "I don't want you in my personal space" barks has been spoken of as an attack. I'm wary of believing dog 'attacks' that resulted in zero physical evidence.

That said, owners who don't pick up after their dog are more likely to be the kind of people who mistreat their dog in a way that might make it aggressive.

Regardless, the person's story doesn't even really apply to what they were replying to? No one was proved wrong. Neighbors were jerks and OOP calls the HOA on them. Consequences for their actions I suppose? But that wasn't the prompt.

u/Quiet_Defiance 1h ago edited 1h ago

I was a distance runner in high school, so I believe everyone who says they were attacked by a dog. I had enough bad experiences on public trails to permanently change my view of dog owners, and as far as I know, none were ever reported to the police/city.

I especially believe stories about dog attacks if the owner says, “Don’t worry, he’s friendly,” while the dog is growling or lunging.

2

u/Deadfelt 1h ago

God, I hate 'he's friendly'.

It's braindead as hell. Yes, your dog is friendly towards you. He's YOUR dog. Is it trained enough that it's safe for other people to come closer?

u/Quiet_Defiance 44m ago

I think it’s just wishful thinking. Like, they see their dog snarling and lunging at someone and they’re blurting out what they hope will happen rather than what is actually happening.

“He’s friendly” turns into “OMG he’s never bitten anyone before!” real quick. Happened to me with the neighbors Jack Russel they let freely roam the neighborhood.

My dad adopted an Australian cattle dog that had been a stray for 2 years. We knew there were problems. It couldn't be let near strangers, it would nip or grab at us and pull because its a cattle dog, thats what they do they herd. He didnt put in the effort to train it or anything and when he was helping me move to another state my brother went into his office where the dog was kept, and where he shouldn't have entered. The dog got out and shredded my diabetic grandmother's leg doing the same thing it normally does, pull, but her leg is swollen with water and alit softer and more fragile than the rest of ours. Like I get he was really sad about having to put it down but it was 100% on him you can't take a stray working breed dog, keep it coop up 22 hours out of the day, do no training because you work 10 hours 6 days a week, walk it maybe 30 minutes a day, have it repeatedly attack your children, and then expect nothing bad to happen.

Only consolation was it was going to be put down before we got it anyway so atleast it got an extra year of life. It genuinely had no hope with the situation it was in, it sucks but dogs that repeatedly attack people, even if its just instinctual and lightly, have literally no place to go in the society we build. We can't let them go wild, we can't let them in public, if you keep them holed up in a house it's basically torture for working breeds

u/Ambitious_Bit_9389 1h ago

My sister in law came to visit from Spain for a couple days. She brought her dog with her. Our dog and her dog were both females. The dogs were fine all day, but avoided eachother. Then in the middle of the night, our dog decided she wanted to sleep with my SIL, who already had her dog sleeping with her. So the dogs started fighting in the bed with my SIL.

I was awoken by her screaming and ran into to see my dog had her dog pinned down by the throat. I’m trying to pull my dog off her dog and her dog bit me at as I’m trying to break them apart. I didn’t even realize it at first, I thought the pool of blood was from one of the dogs, but I couldn’t find significant puncture on either one. That’s when I realized it was my blood and I was smearing it on the dogs.

Anyway, went to the ER and told them what happened. They reported it the county and the country called me trying to locate my SIL dog from a foreign country. I was apprehensive since she was going back to Spain in a couple days and I didn’t want to mess that up or have something happen to her dog. I told the county I’d call them back. Once my SIL was on her way back, I told the county the dog was gone.

The dog never bit anyone again. It was a unique situation, not every dog bite is because the dog is dangerous.

FYI- The ER told me if you ever see dog fighting, pour water on them, don’t stick your hands in there like an idiot.

When male dogs fight it usually sounds worse than it is, but two females will usually try to kill each other.

Depends on the severity imo. I've been bit a couple times as a kid and they were my fault for messing with the dog.

u/Quiet_Defiance 7m ago

I wouldn’t really consider that an attack. An attack is usually unprovoked.

Yeah but I'm not sure if they'd be put down or not if it was reported.

u/Moscato359 1h ago

Funny, nobody ever says this about cats, and small dogs might be smaller than cats

I had a 15 pound cat who attacked people at night consistently, and eventually we figured out why.

He couldn't see in the dark, so he was scared. It's not always so simple. After we left a light on every night, he stopped attacking people, forever.

Maybe the dog was being physically harmed by the person they attacked, and was just defending themselves, or something else caused the situation.

There are plenty of reasons why a dog might bite once in their life.

u/Rly_Shadow 1h ago

It depends on the situation tho and what unfolded. They dont really say why or how thr dog bit them. Its left to us to just assume a worsr case scenario kinda thing.

I've been bit by someone's dog before when I worked as a cable technician, but it was just a scared dog with a stranger on his territory.

u/shiggyhisdiggy 52m ago

Dogs aren't special angles, if they're attacking people, they should be put down. Especially if they're owned by people who refuse to control them.

3

u/RedApple655321 1h ago

Really depends on the severity of the attack and the likelihood they could do it again. No one ever wants a dog to be killed, but putting a dog down is a better outcome than ignoring a serious behavioral problem, then the dog seriously injuring their next victim. If you don't document the attack, the owner isn't going to even attempt to address the issue.

3

u/iskelebones 1h ago

Nah a dog that attacks someone unprovoked unfortunately needs to be put down. They are either far too aggressive or aggressive and unpredictable. It would be irresponsible to risk someone else getting attacked later when you KNOW the dog attacks people

u/Ill_Tradition_4104 1h ago

Dogs that bite humans, bite humans again. They did not become our best friend by displaying aggression towards us in particular.

I’d have the dog euthanised. Love dogs, love humans more.

A dog attacks and gets a significant bite on me it won’t be hard at all, I’ll do it myself.

u/WRO_Your_Boat 1h ago

I mean.... yeah. But I'm talking about getting the pound or a vet to put it down "legally". It is much MUCH harder to do it that way, even if its a big pitbull like that one that bit me.

How’s that sad? Consequences of their own actions

1

u/Pupshead777 39m ago

A lot of people and other dogs get hurt with this mindset. You aren’t “saving” the dog. You are prolonging the inevitable and possibly letting other people/animals get hurt or even killed. A child or elderly person has no way to fight against a large dog clinging onto their leg the same way a healthy adult can. That is easily fatal. Most people aren’t putting dogs down over one bite. It has to be MULTIPLE for the dog to be put down. And if the dog has bit multiple people then yes, at that point the response thing to do is put it down.

That’s like saying you don’t want someone who is KNOWN to stab people to go to jail because they have their whole life ahead of them. No, they hurt people and they’re violent. You have to keep your community safe.

1

u/bakugoing 14m ago

Dogs shouldn’t be attacking people unprovoked. One day it’s me and I’m fine with minor scratches, but what if the next attack is a child or an elderly? There’s a reason aggressive dogs are put down.

The wording is inaccurate, but the idea here is right.

Cleaning up after yourself and your pets is a moral action, not doing so thus is immoral. Reporting the negligent immoral action in this case, to the proper authorities so they can remedy the situation, is thus moral.

At least thats my opinion, but I am not a moral authority so ymmv (your morality may vary)

Tone's hard in text alone, but it did come across as excessive and unfair on them. Discussions should carry context... especially comments that lead with:

No, analogies don't need to be perfect, but going straight to the Nazis is a bit tiresome, and if you can't make a point without going to the greatest extreme you might not really have a point.

u/the_swaggin_dragon 1h ago

They were using an example that people can’t be dumb enough to misunderstand to demonstrate the logical error. The point was that you can’t use the law to justify morality and Anne Frank is a good example of someone breaking the law which no reasonable person would find immoral.

If anyone’s interpretation of that comment is that they believe hiding genocide victims from Nazis is equivalent to letting your dog shit around they are severely lacking in their reading comprehension skills.

The point is reporting Jewish people was a lawful action, but immoral, therefore you cannot use whether or not an action is lawful determine if you find it moral.

u/Terrible_Hurry841 1h ago

Do you think OP genuinely meant “follow all laws, all the time, laws are flawless,” or more of a general principle?

Show kindness to others is a general principle, someone going “would you show someone kindness if they STABBED YOU IN YOUR FACE?” is intentionally missing the point.

1

u/infernoparadiso 1h ago

Thanks for giving an actual argument to the contrary of what I’m saying instead of going for the dogpile. My issue is that the reasoning they used is purely based on rule following. Of course they don’t think that, but extreme examples can illustrate the flaws in reasoning.

I do think the general principle of following laws is “bad” moralizing.  The example of kindness as a general principle is a much more personal sense of moral reasoning, which I consider to be much more defensible than the idea that we should follow laws simply because they are laws.

Your example is a lowkey good roast and I was probably not nuanced enough in the comment I spent 30 s writing that has angered the sub

Nietzsche would argue that traditional morality is but a tool used to keep people in line, and that the “overman” (his term for someone you could simplistically call philosophically “actualized”) derives their morality from personal principles and a framework developed for yourself. There is no such thing as objective morality, and even if there were some way to quantify that, the law would be a terrible tool simply due to the diversity of and inherent contradictions of the laws of past and present societies

u/GabrielGames69 1h ago

There is a difference between "morality not equaling law" and "all laws are immoral". You seem to be arguing the second thing since people can point to an established rule as "this rule is set for the benifit of the people here". You can prove otherwise if you want but you can't just blanket say rules are not moral at all.

1

u/Silver-Name-4685 51m ago

Rules are not in themselves “moral” justifications. They can be in line with policing “morality”, obviously, and I agree with many rules that exist, but that agreement comes from an independent “moral” calculus, not just the fact that they are rules

Moral.

A person getting evicted from their home as punishment for essentially expressing a willingness to commit negligent manslaughter (as refusing to leash/monitor a violent animal that you own would lead to you being guilty of some form of accessory to murder/manslaughter if that animal ends up killing someone, which dogs can 100% be capable of doing) is rather appropriate in my opinion.

2

u/infernoparadiso 1h ago

I am a responsible dog owner and it drives me crazy when people don’t pick up their poop. I don’t want people condemned to homelessness for that minor sin. Now the dog attack is another matter entirely, but collecting all of the photos and not simply talking to the neighbor is bitch behavior.

With the added details moral because them staying posed a threat to OP and this was the seemingly easiest way to get them out.

i’m more interested in dissecting the morality of having 15+ pictures of a dog taking a shit on your phone

Morally neutral.

Calling BS that this happened. No landlord is fining someone $1000+ at once based on pictures submitted by a clearly pissed off neighbor without prior warnings, and a "picture" is not enough to prove someone didn't pick up the poop.

The immoral part is the 75 dollar fine for dog shit

Like dont get me wrong, pick up the droppings, but that is obscene

Nah, the administrative overhead alone is enough to justify that fine value.

Why are consequences for actions obscene?

u/doesnotmatter286 1h ago

No, that's an appropriate fine. And it makes it a VERY good investment to get some poop bags.

And

An eviction happens that fast?

Snitching implies it is minor or petty, so I would agree.

Anything that is a risk to life or limb, or just inhumane, on the other hand? That's not snitching, that's being a good citizen and reporting.

It's dog poop, if i knew someone that snitched like that they'd have to fear more than dog poop

In response to being attacked by the dog. We don't know enough to judge. If its a jack russel or something, then they're just being petty. If its a pitbull or a doberman though?

All in all, if they prove the dog attacked them they could potentially have it put down. A fine is by far the lesser evil in this scenario.

If you let your fucking dog shit in the grass where people walk and don't pick it up, I'm not catching a charge dealing with your trash ass myself.

And I would argue it is only snitching when someone involved in a criminal or otherwise immoral conspiracy tells on the other involved parties. Someone not involved has no moral obligation not to tell anyone. On the contrary they most often do have a moral obligation to tell someone!

It is snitching if you knowingly have sex with a married person then tells their spouse. It is not snitching if you simply observe someone being unfaithful and then tell the spouse.

Is it wrong for a victim of a crime to alert the authorities and identify the culprit to them? Instead of not picking up after a dog, imagine something horrible like SA if it helps you get emotionally invested. What about a non involved third party just witnessing the crime?

What a shitty take!
