Man Bites Police Dogs Ear Off!

[Hitman21]

A 22 year old man who was in a police chase after firing shots was taken down by a police dog only to bite part of the dogs ear off. The dog required 15 stitches to close the wound and will fully recover. The man will be charged for assaulting the dog and required to compensate the cop. The man is being held on $1million bond.

This cases raises some important issues, should he face charges for assaulting the dog, should be required to compensate the officer and why would he bite a dog just doing its job?

Apparently we have different ideas of 'important issues'. I love dogs but how is this a widespread problem?

This is an important issue though, the man ran away the dog chased him and did its job, the man bit the dogs ear off which is wrong. I never said this was a widespread problem but it should still be addressed, if the dog was killed then should we talk about it?

[flashy_mcflash]

Not really. It's an isolated incident that says little, if anything, about some greater problem here. The guy would and should be charged. What's the issue? What're you trying to argue, that biting dogs is wrong? Okay, biting dogs is wrong and should be stopped. Maybe this incident will call attention to this, and dogs everywhere will be safe from ear-biting.

You dont f*** with police dogs

This isn't the most important issue but I still felt that it was important enough to discuss, it is animal abuse though.

What to discuss though? Is anyone here PRO-dog ear biting?

There were questions in my OP though, should he face charges, should he have to compensate the officer? I have never heard of a criminal having to compensate the officer.

Mike Tyson would like to have words with you, good sir

Around 10 people voted in that poll, surely they represent all of rfd:facepalm:

Read the OP and there were some serious questions to discuss about the topic.

2 words...bath salts

Bath salts are too drying of the skin.

Police access WCB, victim's compensation... the dog should sue - the perp and the employer.

Hitman21 - time to spring clean, your box is full.

Dog's ears are delicious. Oh wait, I think that's pig's ears.

Either way, Mods should move this to Food & Drinks forum.

No. I think it is "Dogs find pig's ears delicious."

It would then be moved to the pet forum.

The dog is also the Officers pet who lives with him. If your dog (if you have one) was injured by a person, wouldn't you want to be compensated?

[Piro21]

And to think, if the dog had bitten the guy's ear off absolutely nothing would have happened to it or the officer controlling it.

Based on what? Dogs that bite people unprovoked are often put down.

[ishfish]

I doubt the officer would receive the compensation for the injury to the dog - the dog is property in this case and the owner of the property would be the agency.

Not really. The dog is owned by the Officer. It lives with him.

I know it lives with the officer - are you sure s/he would own it? I would think the Dept would own it.

Yes. Who would say otherwise.

should be required to compensate the officer

No, but maybe a fine instead.

and why would he bite a dog just doing its job?

Not sure anyone here would be able to answer that.

I was curious about that - from what I've read they live with the handler but are not owned by the handler. The ownership is the Dept or City. So it would be similar to someone vandaliziing a police car...the Dept would sue for damages not the driver.

[UrbanPoet]

Police dogs usually remain with the same officer and become their pet in order to promote commandrie.
Police becomes one with the dog in order to build trust and confidence.

I saw it once on a CTV documentary on RCMP police dogs. Very interesting. :lol: Damn those pups are smart.

Don't run away from the police and the dog wont be needed, he chose to run away and the dog chased him. What do you expect to happen?

I understand that.

What I was saying is that the dog lives with the handler - but is not a privately owned pet. The dog is the property of the City/Dept.

I am pretty sure, while employed by the particular Force, the dog is still owned by the Officer. Once the dog is retired, he usually stays with that Officer from what I recall.

[flashy_mcflash]

hahaha, another ban? What does it take to get perma-banned, I wonder.

I had a friend who was involved in the rescue of police dogs - he said the problem faced by retired police dogs is that they must stay with a qualified person and therfore are sometimes euthanized.

I still do not think the officer owns the dog - nothing that I read suggests that they are.

Apparently more than 5 temp bans.:lol:

I will ask my friend in TPS to see what he says. I am curious to know what is correct. He might not know as he has never worked K9.
