Man shot dead by dog during US hunting trip

ElJaguar

A dog shot and killed a man in the US over the weekend, police said, after the animal stepped on and accidentally discharged a gun left on the backseat of a pickup truck.

The victim, who was sitting in the truck's front passenger seat, was struck in the back as he and the pet were out on a hunting excursion, according to police in the central US state of Kansas.

Imagine the guilt the animal feels. I hope he has a good defence lawyer

Very clever move having a loaded gun in the back of the car with a dog jumping all over the place. Im not a vegetarian or a person who protests outside abattoirs or anything but I have always wondered what satisfaction some people get from shooting animals for fun, there is something off about people like that in my opinion. At least this guy knows now what its like for the animals getting blown apart by a shotgun.

It must have been a gun dog

markjbloggs

did the dog have a license?

He had it cocked in all to get the jump on them. Turns out the animals had other plans...

Guns don't kill people, dogs do.

How do they know that the dog caused the gun to fire?

He could have called 911 as you don't die straight away from a gun shot depending on where you are hit.

Most people who hunt do it to put food on the table. Not from an economic point of view as it’s usually cheaper to buy meat.

Taking care of the process from start to finish is an enjoyable task and is a lot more ethical than just picking up all your meat pre packed and pretending the grisly bits don’t happen.

Think if you dig into the history, some hunter shot his paw

It happened before here in Ireland. A man climbing over a ditch and his dog stood on the trigger.

Yep, pretending they are man's best friend. Turn your back on them ... boom !

Wonder what happened to the dog afterwards?

A cat would never do that...a cat would shoot you in the face if it had a gun.

Hair-trigger effect, unfortunate

It has happened before in America, usually resulting in injury rather than death. This report from 2015 details various incidents in previous years.

Knowing the Americans they will have a dog cull, or severe legislation banning dogs near guns. But the real issue is they the NRA in America now have to change their mantra 'Guns don't kill people, people do'. They have to add 'and dogs...'

How would he know? He obviously didn't see it happening or he would have stopped it happening. Could be any reason for it to go off bouncing around on the back seat.

This dog is innocent. GoFundMe for his legal fees to get him released.

Well if all the hunters were armed with guns this shooting wouldn't have happenned. Oh wait.

There used to be an old saying.. " The gun is always loaded.. " ie always take extra care with a gun. Not leaving it lying around fully loaded? With a dog near enough to tread on it..

Oh and it went on. " The horse always kicks and the dog always bites" .. accident prevention... But what a price to pay for carelessness

What direction are we taking this narrative, was the dog playing violent video games or did it struggle with mental health?

Mister Vain

With 6 year old's shooting teachers I suppose it was only a matter of time before the dogs started doing it.

All depends on whether it was a white dog or a brown or black dog. White dog was struggling with mental health, black or brown dog was obviously terrorist.

The news didn't say what colour the dog was. Terrorist dog it is.
