Last night, after reading about that piece of trash disguised as a book, I sent an email to Amazon. The following is the reply I received this morning.
Now.....I see a lot of 'hand wringing' here......the "oh my, this is terrible but its a free society and we must have law.
Well, my friends, it is a free society, and we do have "law", for what its worth.
Yet this piece of trash is allowed to publish thru a world wide chain how to sexually penetrate and abuse babies and children, in a "Loving" way You think thats not what pedophelia is?
Of all the crimes committed by humanity, this is the worst. Yet.........what is the concensus? "put him in jail" "He's damaged, treat him"
Oh yeah, thats gonna take care of the problem.
Let me explain something to you all.......you don't "treat" these people. You exterminate them like the vermin they are. I want you all to think, instead of them, of the innocents, and the fear and pain they suffer thruout their lives because these people have a right to live.
I want you to think of the 2 month old here in Arizona who was penetrated, and what this baby went thru, and of all the their children around the world who are abused in this way, because no one has the guts to stand up and say "enough'. Some things are not to be tolerated. Lets clear these scum off the face of the earth".
So.....here is Amazons reply, and I'm very close to flinging my K3 into the trash. I just want to go throw up right now.
I have to think long and hard about how to deal with this in my own mind, because right now......I just want to find a way to get this out of my head.
And I can't.

My only contention is that you can't say the dog was not violent or threatening at any point in course of the events that lead up to its death. I agree newfies are one of the most gentle, laid back, easy going breeds there are, but everything has its limits and all it takes is one uneducated person to assume the worst of what they see a giant, black monster dog and treat it in the wrong way at the wrong time and it will go down hill from there.
Hopefully, there will be some serious education classes given to the police involved, and the owner of the dog will hopefully push to get all the answers and to do what they can to make sure this doesn't happen again.

I don't see how you can be remotely ok with this. the dog was in a yard. another dog was there and not upset. there were children in the home, the police didn't even warn them to not be close to the windows until AFTER the shooting. I think this was a sausage fest gone out of control. BillyBob tased her and she didn't go down. immediate testosterone flare up, break out the big guns

Now I don't necessarily agree that either one is right, but we do live in a society that guarantees freedom of speech.

as much as I defend and agree with free speech, there are times when it is more appropriate to walk away. this would be one of them IMHO
