Ventura Co. Sheriffs Dept shows up to campsite and threatens to shoot dogs

quote:

---

"I can shoot any dog that approaches me," he said holding his gun, in a gloating manner. "All I have to say is that I feel they're a threat."

---

I would want that on tape. But in all honesty cops have been killing too many dogs lately.

The county I live in makes an appearance in the OT Lounge.....I may die a happy man now....

Within three years, everybody is going to be wearing cameras or other recording devices on their person at all times so we're on the tail end of this kind of BS.

lets not miss the important aspects of the story...

Wiley's a regular visitor, this is where he saw his first midget wrestling contest, first knife fight and first metal concert

While it was a "biker" camp out, these bikers were mostly 20 and 30 something creatives living and working in Los Angeles, Ventura or surrounding areas. The weekend is a chance for them to let their hair down and wear their leather jackets, but it's not exactly what anyone would consider a rough crowd. The event is advertised online.

Both Wiley (85lbs) and Sansho (75lbs) are big dogs and they do sometimes growl, bark or generally act like dogs do when a stranger approaches us in the middle of the night. Neither one is remotely aggressive or dangerous in appearance.

---

im sorry, but to think that someone walking up to find two big arse dogs barking and growling at them could not think these dogs are agressive is retarded.

Just a couple of fluffy house pets who are good with kids and other dogs and people in general.

yeah, you can tell that from first sight.

quote:

---

My friends and I were approached, with no warning or cause, by four cops in the middle of the night.

most of the time it is just park rangers or wildlife officers making sure you are collecting your trash and things of the like.

while im not saying i dont believe their story, i am very skeptical that it is the whole truth.
