Did you take note of the name of the sheriff?A fine and a couple of weeks off with no pay . He will then apply for some kind of PTSD and get it . He comes back but does not get another dog . He retires ASAP and the beat goes on

Why is this always thrown out whenever it is a cop involved?
Do you really think that you would be held without bail or convicted and jailed without trial on a misdemeanor charge?
Different states have different lawsIn Ohio animal abuse is a felony with a 1 year minimum sentence. Manslaughter is only 6 months.
I don't know what "intrinsic" value people havethey don't even have the intrinsic value of any critter Americans are willing to eat.

The cop who hasn't got enough sense to know his dog will die in a hot car,or is so scatter brained that he can't remember he is in there,is part of the same pool of officers as the officer in Minnesota whose accounting is destroying Larry Craig.
Well I think your last statement is correct...LEO's are part of the general population, they are all human, so what does that statement mean?I don't trust the judgement of cops any more than the general population.
...it really annoys me that these animals, when used by police are elevated to the same level as a human officer. They are just animals. They are tools to help the officer, like his gun, his badge, his flashlight, his car.
Though you and I never communicate directly, I always respected you and your opinions on this board. The statement you made above erased every bit of respect I ever had for you. It takes a person who is devoid of all morals to view torturing animals asOldbillthunderchief said:That Vick character is going to rot in a hole for several years because some dogs died... I think a human quarterback is worth a lot more than some animal, no matter how deplorable that quarterback may be. The life of an animal or two is not a big enough deal for that kind of punishment

Doesn't seem all that skippy to me"I do not relish the idea of compounding his sadness. However, Lovejoy must be treated like anyone else in similar circumstances."
Doesn't seem like any rug sweeping going on.The sheriff's investigation showed Bandit was in Lovejoy's patrol car from about 9 a.m. to a little after 10 p.m. on Aug. 11. During that time, the investigation found that Lovejoy ran errands for his wife, napped for a short time and later ate out with his wife. Lovejoy later found the dead dog in the car.
