Then a man appeared in a pontoon boat and blocked their path while asking whether Cletus was their dog, she wrote.

“At first it appeared that the man on the pontoon boat was going to save both animals. However, after he pulled closer up he ran right over our boxer and went straight for the goat.
quote:
The tired and now injured Cletus bobbed up out of the water after getting hit and struggled to try and climb up on the pontoon boat,” she wrote.
“My mom and our friends were yelling cut your motor off, cut (your) motor off, the man replied as he lifted the goat onto his boat, ‘I don’t give a damn about your dog,’” McGowan wrote.
She wrote that the man ignored their yells and reversed the boat, smashing Cletus with the motor and killing him in what she said a witness described as “horrific, cruel and preventable.”
If this is true, that dude intentionally killed the dog.

Sounds like a family failed to look after their dog which lead to its inadvertent death by a pontoon boat driver consumed with road rage.

On one hand, we only have one side of the story (the owner); who I could definitely see angrily fabricating the story after their dog was accidentally ran over by a pontoon.
On the other hand, I can see an older near-senile man, upset with dogs ravaging the goat population on his weekend getaway at Goat Island, become enraged when seeing the scenario play out firsthand and purposefully run over the dog with his pontoon while he rescues the goat.

Given both sides...well one side and what a reasonable person would do.
Here's what I think happened.
Man saw the dog chasing the baby goat in the water. He maneuvered his boat between the goat (which everyone around there considers community pets). He accidentally clips the dog with a pontoon, gets the goat, and, not realizing the dog is behind him, catches it in the prop. He might even have said,"I don't give a damn about your dog," thinking that the dog was still swimming just fine back to its owners.
I just have trouble ascribing an evil intent to a man that just saved an animal. Maybe that's just me.
That said, you don't take a dog to Goat Island. That's a rule. You certainly don't let the dog off the leash to chase the goats. You certainly don't just stand around while your dog swims after a goat in a busy boating lane.
fricking morons got their dog killed and now they want a pound of flesh too.
