You??put this into words perfectly!!!!? Always a victim. Pam From: Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2008 11:31:23 EDT Subject: Re: Congo story, from the horse's mouth Connie....please...they got a court order to take pictures. *********************************************** "The 75-year-old had puncture wounds and lacerations to her forearm, chest and head, police said." The 75-year-old victim, Constance Ladd of Branchburg, suffered four apparent bite wounds to her chest, right shoulder, right forearm and head, along with other less serious lacerations from the animals, officials said. The owners decided on their own to have the dogs euthanized, Guy James and township animal control officer Mark Johnson said. Congo and one of the other dogs was 2 1/2 and the other two dogs were 1 1/2 years old. Officials said it's not clear how many and which of the dogs actually bit Ladd or what provoked them, although township police detective Sgt. Ernie Silagyi said the police officers responding to the scene indicated there "were obvious dog bites." "At 11:15 (Tuesday) night, the emergency room doctor called me to say this was definitely dog bites, not scratches," Johnson said. The animal control officer then secured an emergency order from Superior Court to have pictures taken of Ladd's wounds, and the photos were taken early yesterday morning. ************************************************ It would just make my day if these people never got another dog. They have one left and CLEARLY, no matter how they chose to spin it, a multi-dog household is not for them. They "find" themselves in situations that go bad, and of course it's the media's fault, it's animal control's fault, it's the polices' fault, the judges aren't fair, everybody has it our for them, the ER can't tell the difference between a scratch and PUNCTURE wounds...so much for personal responsibility. And now "poor" Mr. James had to go and tell his children what he had to do...let me help him. "Kids, mommy and daddy made a series of irresponsible decisions. Our irresponsibility lead to your grandmother and another person being hurt. The consequence of our actions is that two of our dogs and their offspring lives were cut short. We are very sorry for our actions. We are especially sorry for the pain, both physical and emotional that our decisions have cause others. We are sorry for the turmoil we have put you through for the past year." (Of course, I'm dreaming. He'll continue to play the "blame everybody but me game" and the next generation will learn from his example.) Grrrrrrrr....
