Some states do have laws about Dogs in the back of trucks. Check to see if
yours does, & report dead heads who let it happen. I saw a dog once fall out
of the back of his owners truck (Because of the bone head owners great
driving skills), & the owner got out & hit the dog for getting out ("HE FELL
OUT JACKASS"). Even after cronfronting this guy in the middle of the road
when he's hitting his dog, this guy talks me to like i'm in the wrong for
stopping him from beating the heck out of "His dog".
I have a guy whos Rottweiler needs a new home, & My question is, How do we
weed out the morons like these people. Maybe i should add a #10 question to
my questionaire. "Are you an idot". Probably not.. They'd lie about it
anyways.
Good question though Mark. I don't see people talk about this issue to
often. Maybe i'll come back to this newsgroup. Looks like some good
information. Unlike another newsgroup i recently posted to because i thought
it would be a good place to try & find a home for that Rot. The NG turns out
to be a place for insults. Maybe i should read some of the posts before I
post?
