Shocking... what people will do for "entertainment"
No word in the English language can express how deplorable his actions were. Such people should be banned forever from having a dog again. It's good that he went to jail for 6 months and was fined. He should also spend that time in a dog kennel doing cleanups.
Plus, he definitely needs some anger management treatments himself. If the dog bit him once and he got that upset, he's the one with the problem, not the dog.
Dogs learn from their owners. It wouldn't surprise me if the owner caused the dog to bite in the first place simply by his treatment of him. Why do such people even get dogs, other than to "control" something.
I agree... this man is dangerous - because if he'd treat a dog so severely, he's sure to be equally if not more threatening to humans. Heaven forbid anyone who lives with him or gets close to him.
There is no excuse for him. He hasn't learned how to train his dog properly and probably doesn't care to learn. He has no idea how to handle such situations so they do not recur. His method does absolutely nothing but put fear into the dog. But then, that clearly was his intention all along.
