    How much does the general public need to know?

    I agree. I believe you should be completely and almost brutally honest with someone who wants do adopt a dog. That way they know exactly what they're taking in, which ensures that they know their responsibility to the full when they adopt.
    A dog's history can be extremely important to owners, and although it may seem crazy to not want a dog for certain reasons, but that all goes back to the adopter, so they're entitled to know everything.
    To echo Tammy, Honesty is the best policy. :wink:

    Vet Recommendation

    So sorry to hear this news Tx...
    Now I'm not a mother, but I know that if I did have kids, and was put in your situation, I would have the dog PTS. I know its hard, I've lived through this experience more than once, but it really is for the better! I don't think you want another woman's son to be bitten like yours was, so giving her up for adoption isn't really logical, IMPO.
    Of course getting a second opinion just to be sure won't hurt, but I think we know they're all going to say the same thing.
    It was extremely brave of you to be honest with the vet, showing the pictures and all...
    In the end, it IS you and your family's decision. Keep us posted! :wink:

    Dogs drowned in SEWAGE?

    I found an article:
    [quote]Jourdanton, Texas A public works supervisor has been disciplined this week for ordering city employees to drown stray dogs at the city sewer plant to save money.

    "There was an incident. It only happened once that I know of and I have taken corrective action," said City Manager Dan Nick. "The individual is going to be going to classes with animal control and we'll be writing up a policy so nothing out of the ordinary happens again."

    Nick declined to name the person who was disciplined or confirm details of the episode, which he described as "a freak incident, a one-time bad decision."

    However, others said public works supervisor Chantan Morin ordered six dogs drowned on July 11. Morin could not be reached for comment Friday.

    "I'm really upset about it. They were taking dogs from the impound over to the sewer plant and dropping them down in cages to drown them," said City Councilman Darrell Richter.

    He said the incident became public knowledge this week after complaints were heard from at least one family of youths who witnessed it while they were doing community service with the city.

    "Some kids were working with the city employees and one of the young men got so upset and disturbed that he told his mother," Richter said.

    The mother of one of the young men said her son was called by Mayor Tammy Clark on Thursday.

    "Yesterday when the mayor called, he (the youth) told her that they were drowning dogs in cages, two or three at a time," she said, asking that the family's name not be published.

    "My son was only doing his community service. I don't want him involved in this," she said.

    According to Richter, Morin admitted ordering the dogs drowned.

    "The mayor told me he 'fessed up that he had told them to do it," he said.

    Clark could not be reached for comment.

    By state law, the only legal ways to euthanize stray dogs or cats are by gassing them with carbon monoxide or injecting them with sodium pentobarbital at an animal shelter.

    The law also requires that sodium pentobarbital be injected by a person who has taken a training course. Violations are a Class B misdemeanor.

    District Attorney Rene Pena said he had not heard of the incident before receiving a call Friday from a reporter.

    City Manager Nick said he considers the matter closed.

    "I worked on it in-house. I took action immediately," he said. "It won't happen in the future."[/quote]
    This is just SICK :evil:

    [quote name='FearedDogFan']That is really sick! :o If nothing could have been done about them, or to help them, all he needed was a big syringe. That's so bad! :evil: I have heard that it is terrible to die by drowning. RIP, poor doggies.

    BTW, what breed(s) were they?[/quote]
    I have no clue! The girl posting this was ranting about the fact that reporters were invading her quiet little town(pathetic if you ask me :roll:) So there weren't many details, I'll try to find out though.

    This is appalling, someone at another forum I'm part of posted this:
    [quote]My neighbor works for the city here and recently did a very stupid thing. He took 6 "diseased" dogs down to the sewege plant and drown them. They were suppossed to be put down humainely by a vet but the vet was on vacation.
    Also by "diseased" that means that 4 of them had severe mange and the other 2 had tumors and bleeding originating from malnutrition and neglect. This to me is very disturbing.
