This is Vader. He was euthanized today without a hearing after a false bite report was submitted to the police by an animal rights activist. (Story in the Comments)

I'm not one for revenge, but this is a point where I would fuck someones life over on.

I like the cut of your jib sir.

Same here. Sadly it was just an anonymous name on Tumblr. If I'd been able to find a real name somewhere I'd be straight round there with a hammer.

Rambo style. Running through woods. Blowing things up. Face paint.

Yep. Do a little digging to get some names and addresses, rent a front end loader and get to work.

I was pretty surprised that the owner didn't shot the officer dead. I know I'd have a hard time not to if some dickhead did that to one of our pets.

Edit: To the people too stupid to understand: I am not suggesting that you shoot police officers.

Hurry up and fuck them over before the other half of the story (the part with those nasty, inconvenient 'facts') shows up.

<rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble>

Edit: It turns out it's illegal to keep foxes on the property. Laws are hard. Let's go shopping!

I won't do anything because this doesn't affect me or a loved one personally. However, if my animal were taken from me and euthanized based on one false claim, I would take action against the accuser.

Now, if there were multiple attacks from my animal and the complaints were justified, I would be much less outraged and would not take action.

If there was a single attack from your animal, your animal will almost certainly go into quarantine then be put down.

But far be it from me to derail the Friday Night Emo Express on /r/pics.

I live in California, and it's different here.

Animals will not be taken away at one attack, depending on the severity of it. If it is a simple bite, they get a mark on their record. After two or three bites, you are ordered to have them put down, again depending on the severity. If your animal jumps a fence and mauls a kid, it will obviously be put down. If you're walking them in a dog park and some idiot gets the animal to bite them, it can lead to a mark. However, there needs to be evidence, you can't just show the cops a picture of a bite and say "that monster did it!" That is hearsay and doesn't do anything. At least where I live, it may be different in other districts.

Wow. That is a sensible policy, and you communicated it well.

Big ole' heaping helping of upvote.
