"agenda" isn't inherently political IN FACT ...IT'S cart before the horse thing....politics inherently have agenda(s)..I didn't login this afternoon. Did I miss lots of arguing.?
Lee: please don't interpret MY intent/motive/purposes by claiming I made this thread because I have an AGENDA. Don't make this political. you bring politics and biases into practically every discussion.
Lexus has the agenda. I am merely discussing the terrible results of the out of control "Project".
1. I used Lexus to give a concrete example of the issue that I stated in the opener. The reason is, Lexus is establishing legal precedents & scaring Counties and States away from even being able do their already appointed job in Animal Control cases (monetarily and also with humane treatment of already-traumatized victim families.
ie; the Nevada family would've been forced to testify & re-live the events in court. the judge stated this as part of reason for "settling".
In the AZ case: the County can not afford to fight this mess).
Someone asked in the other thread about the Az case, if there is going to be a Supreme court for canines? Well, in the Nev case a news headline read "Nevada Supreme Court sends Onion the dog case back to lower court"
SO:
2. Cases of severe dog maulings with severe human injuries and even deaths will keep happening, and we need to realize that all The Rules Are Changing !
3. Owners Sign & "surrender" dog to County Control for euthanasia. (Owners have always had rights to euthanize our dogs, right?)
4. The dogs' actions meet criteria in existing local laws for "Vicious" behavior. Therefore, BOTH the owners AND local officials set dog for euthanasia. What could go wrong? Just when you think the nightmare may start fading a little bit..
5. INTERFERENCE by Litigation. Lexus stops the process.
6. And this really kills me: Vicious and/or Killer dogs are court-ordered to be physically moved out of the area where offense occurred (often, different states.) Sometimes the exact location of dog is not known.
Is it right to relocate these offending dogs at all? I think not. Even human criminals' cases are handled within certain jurisdictions.
If a dog kills a child in Caif or Nev, should he get a death sentence reprieve and get "paroled" way out in Ohio?
Do you want him that dog in your area?
There's no Megans' List for dogs. just sayin.........
agenda doesn't have to be about politics but almost every thread has an agenda ,it kinda rings as a false protest ...sorry....your agenda is clearly to complain about the nexus project..pretty simple and NOT an implied evil unless you've been trained that it's a bad word...EDIT: AGENDA(from the websters dictionary)...a list of things to be considered or done...2.a plan or goal that guides someones behavior and is often kept secret.......that's it...... so where is my" political" agenda?..there isnt one just a statement of fact ...as described by the dictionary ... btw for the most part ..I agree with you
pm me next time your in town I be sure to be someplace else
