Woah... just.... woah....
Quote:DOSHA WAS HIT by a car near her owner’s home on April 15. Next, a police officer shot her in the head to put her out of her misery. Then, presumed dead, she was put in a freezer at an animal control center.
Two hours later, when a veterinarian opened the door to the freezer, she was shocked to find Dosha, a 10-month-old of mixed breeding, standing upright in a plastic orange bag — the equivalent of a human body bag.
The police chief in Clearlake, Calif., defended the officer who shot Dosha. Police Chief Bob Chalk says the officer did nothing wrong when he shot the dog in the head last week. He says the dog had been hit by a car and was in pain.
Woah... just.... woah....
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
