Actually am told the dog taste a little like pork but quite fatty so doesn't have the tecture of meats like cow. Since dogs are fed like livestock I doubt it would be gamey.
 
I;ve never had dog, but Camel and Horse are delicious.... especially rabid.

I was finance director for a SoCalif city, and also worked with all departments policy and procedure manuals to make sure they conformed to overall city policy and city ordinance. Police called out on animal calls were supposed to contact animal control and support them as they picked up the animal. The only exception was if they saw a person being physically attacked or felt their own lives were at risk. The cop probably wrote in his report that he felt his life was at risk by a six ounce rodent.

My policeman neighbor would bust a gut laughing at that. I'm pretty sure that if he'd gotten that call, he'd have told school administrators to get the kids inside, then waited for animal control to collect the squirrel... and he'd have done so without torturing the creature first.

You're not going to change my opinion that the cop was a cowardly jerk, and I'm not going to change your opinion that the cop was a brave and laudable hero. *shrug* I'm done here.

Anyways, the cops a stooge for not either sweeping it away with its foot or doing the above.

Did you read the story? Apparently said squirrel was attacking the chirruns at the school. Sweeping it away with his foot would probably not have the appropriate result since Rocky wasnt intimidated by noise, stomping, or screaming and running children. Now...maybe the school would have been better served if they hadnt called the police to respond in the first place, but since the kids and the school deemed it a threat, and since he probably would have got in more trouble for pulling a weapon and blasting it...maybe this was the right thing to do...or maybe animal control could have been called.

What is it with people and their whiny freakout nature regarding cops and pepper spray? its not mustard gas, people.

Sorry, you don't get to call out people for their "whiny freakout nature" when you're defending a cop who pepper sprayed a baby squirrel. :mrgreen:

It wasn't a pit bull with a scorching case of herpes, people. :2razz:
 
The parents of the first child that got bitten would have sued the school, the officer, the department, and the township.
 
I haven't watched the video because I don't want to, but according to a different article on this (I quit reading the article linked in the OP when it spelled rabies, rabbies), kids were asking the officer to not spray the squirrel, so the lawsuit now becomes negligent infliction of emotional distress. ;)

Whatever. The squirrel's ok, a tech cleaned it off. Of course one has to wonder how a tech managed to handle such a dangerous animal. :mrgreen: The cop'll never live this down, and according to MSNBC, his police department is reviewing the case, that is, if the sqirrel's don't get him first.

*shrug* They could have sued the school officials who were stupid enough to leave the kids outside with a "dangerously aggressive" baby squirrel when they clearly should have taken the kids inside, since they felt threatened enough to call a damned cop on the tiny thing, a cop who himself was so terrified that he couldn't simply climb atop his squad car and await Animal Control, which apparently was on the way.

Other than that, the parents wouldn't have a legal pot to squat on.

There's no rational way you can justify this action against the animal, no matter how hard you stretch and squeeze it.

Men.
