re: Dog Killed In Boating Accident; Owners Seek FELONY Charges

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.

Apparently, the people who own the goats do not own the island. So there is no "rule" or law preventing people from bringing dogs.
From what I've gathered from other reports and facebook, the guy was at his house on the lake and saw the dog chasing the goats so he hopped in his boat and headed over. When he go there the dog and goat were in the water. He then confronted the owners, confirmed it was their dog, saved the goat, and killed the dog. It sounds pretty bad without knowing his side of the story.

I'm surprised the dog's life jacket (personal flortation device) didn't offer more protection and make Cletus' head more visible along with the vibrant colors of most dog life jacets.
Or wasn't Cletus wearing one as he may have chased the goat into the water?
