funkietooParticipantThe court date for the two men who shot Maynard, their family pet, has been set for this Monday, January 11th, starting @ 9:00 am. For background information, here is Komo’s original story: http://www.komonews.com/news/48948016.html & the Seattle Times’ http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2009373984_webanimalcruelty23m.html
IMO only…these two men acted out of anger. They tied him to a tree and unloaded their guns at him while he ran around, hitting Maynard three times before he fell down an embankment–still tied to the tree. They left him for dead–but he wasn’t. Maynard suffered horribly–on so many different levels.
I will be attending the court case as animal cruelty is a serious, criminal issue and my heart goes out to Maynard and those who provided him with aftercare. How many times have we heard that those that harm animals, will do the same to humans—especially to our most vulnerable humans, such as children, the elderly and the disabled.
They had options like taking Maynard to KCACC or paying to have him humanely euthanized—they had the money. Rotties are not born killers or biters—it is the way they are raised and treated by the owners. Once again, the animal suffers/pays the price because of the human’s behavior.
If you are interested in having your voice heard, email the prosecuting attorney. If you are interested in attended the court case, here is the information:

velo_nutParticipantThis is crap!!!
“In a taped statement, Terrance Hedin, 53, said he and his 25-year-old son took Maynard out to kill him because he had severely bitten his son’s wife twice in two months. The father said they did not have enough money to have Maynard euthanized by a vet. “
So the man knew that the dog was a danger so he tried to take care of it before it did anymore harm. He (and the son) thought the dog was dead… 3 shots AND hanging off a cliff! They couldn’t afford to have the dog put down so they did what they (and others) thought was right. If they hadn’t have done that and it killed a mailman do you know what kind of sh!t they would be in?
You can’t have it both ways. It’s just a dog. It could have been a person.
(and guess what, you can’t call me an animal hater… 2 dogs and a cat. I’ve also had to shoot a dog for biting a family member.)

charlabobParticipantVelonut, you cannot mean this. If a dog needs dangerous, Animal Control takes care of it — free. Do you actually live in WS? You shoot dogs and squirrels — and you’re a neighbor? I’m going from being bemused by your contrarianism (which I sometimes share) to being afraid.

funkietooParticipantVelo–I don’t call names. Second, having been following this case very closely, there is a lot of additional information since the above articles were published.
Here is some of it:
1) ‘In a taped statement, they also said the wife had to go to the hospital because it was such a severe bite’–there is no hospital record of a visit.
2) The father has a well paying career at a large Seattle Company and the son makes very good money. They had the money to take Maynard to a Vet. They also could have taken Maynard to KCACC, but chose not to do so. (and they did not call KCACC to surrender Maynard–there is no record of such a call)
3)The father and son have hired one of the most expensive criminal defense attorneys in the Seattle area….yet they couldn’t afford to take Maynard to the Vet Office or to KCACC. Does not ring true to me.
3) When arraigned in court the Father was crying because he said he loved Maynard and felt bad. Why not give him a humane death? If they loved him, why not take his dead body home and bury him? Maynard was not hanging from a cliff…he rolled 15′ down an embankment (which was walkable).
4) In King County it is legal to kill your own animal. (due to the Agriculture Industry). However, it is illegal to cause undo suffering. Maynard was running around–like a target–it was not one gunshot to the head. They unloaded both of their guns and hit him three times.

velo_nutParticipantNaw.. just too many PBR’s and being a devils advocate.
GOTCHA!
PS… I don’t shoot little critters. Although the cat from 3 doors down keeps pooping in our flower bed and I’m getting a tad annoyed.
Y’all are way too up tight. Relax!

LeroniusmonkfishMemberYou state that you don’t shoot little critters yet you wanted the regs on whether or not shooting them within city limits is legal…hmmm? Egging cars on 35th was a good post too.
On the WSB front page today you told the first commenter for the Spokane Street Viaduct update “jsrekd” to just “move”. Why don’t you consider your own recommendation?

velo_nutParticipantUpside down on my mortgage, man. That and I love it here. Absolutely love it!
I actually DID end up egging a few cars on 35th too. It was great for the nerves. I made sure I was a couple blocks away from my house though.
Just kidding… I would never waste an egg. So yummy!
I used to shoot gophers in Montana though (way back when). So I guess I do shoot critters. Aw crap.

miwsParticipantBack on topic:
I didn’t see it mentioned in either of the linked articles, but I seem to remember reading/hearing at one point that “the wife” had actually taunted Maynard, which would explain why he apparently bit her.
Oh, but those that think this is “no big deal” would probably argue that that is no excuse, because,(in their mind, perhaps) a dog should have the reasoning ability to differentiate between “harmless” taunting, and a true threat.
Just knowing the way some other people think, I can understand, but not accept their “logic” of putting an animal down in that manner. However, as funkietoo mentioned above, why didn’t they take Maynard back home and bury him?
That right there, tells me they didn’t give a rat’s ass about the poor dog, and didn’t “love” him, and weren’t trying to “humanely put him down”.
Macho Dude Jr. was just pissed off, because Maynard hurt his woman. He probably went crying to Daddy about it, and they decided they had to teach the dog a lesson.
I wouldn’t be surprised if MD Jr, as he was shooting Maynard, said something like; “That’ll teach ya to hurt my woman, you son-of-a-bitch! Don’t nobody hurt her but ME“

GenHillOneParticipant1) thank you for summing it up, Mike, and I myself also visualize junior as a roid case in a “wife beater” with overly-gelled hair, perhaps with small genetalia; pathetic excuses for men, both of them, but that’s just my opinion.

2) funkietoo, do you have contact info for P.A.? I didn’t see it in the links, but to be totally honest, I did scan quickly because I can’t stand to read the story too many times :(
