HEMET, Calif.—Authorities are asking for help finding the driver of a pickup truck seen deliberately running into and killing two pet dogs over the weekend in Hemet.
Riverside County's Department of Animal Services says the driver deliberately steered into a black Labrador at about 9 p.m. on Saturday, then turned around and drove into the second dog, an Alaskan Malamute. The dogs had been running loose.

The driver then came back a third time and nearly hit a man trying to pull the dogs off the road, sheriff's investigators say.

Oh wow! That's absolutely disgusting! Poor dogs.

I had my dog in my front yard when I was a kid & a drive drove up onto our lawn just to hit my dog. It was a horrible experience that I still remember vividly.

Peopel that get thrills out of kiling innocent animals are the ones that tend to go on to killing people. Jeffery Dalmer for instance.:wtf::mad:

It is unbelievable what some "humans" do - and I cannot understand what kind of person you would have to be to kill an innocent animal in such a cruel manner. There IS a connection between animal cruelty and the likelihood of violence against people. Fortunately lawmakers are recognizing this (at least we seem to be seeing more and more laws passed on a state-by-state basis inthe US) and are increasingly passing harsher laws against animal cruelty. I hope they find this character and throw the book at him. :swearing:

You know I've been think a lot since the Michael Vick stuff about what kind of people can do things like this?

I really think that there is a huge issue of desenitazation in our society. I will be the first to condemn government censorship.

But maybe there is some validitiy to claims such as violence in movies and videogames and what not. I'm almost 30 years old and can play 'grand theaft auto' and realize that the contained violence is not reality. I can listen to (but choose not to) gangsta rap and separate the lyrics form the reality of real life, but I think many young people today for what ever reason, can't and or don't.

It is sad to me. Where are the parents? What role do they play? IMO it is there job as parents to teach these young people right from wrong.

I dunno maybe just a ramble. Maybe a bit off topic too.

Sounds like a Cypriot truck driver to me.

It seems to be a national sport here to kill, kill, kill anything that moves including the rare birds that were shot the other week here - a whole flock of them for no reason whatsoever.

That is disgusting. Have they not got anything better to do? Poor dogs.

[brunosmom]

Hopefully the person responsible is sitting in a bar bragging to his friends....maybe one of them has more sense than him and a heart and turns him in :(

[Candymoo]

No they don't seem to have anything better to do. The worst is when you see them deliberately driving towards a cat (cats are considered vermin here) and run it over and then laughing as they do so.

The real vermin is them. Let me at em for a little while I show them who's vermin.:mad:

That's absolutely disgusting. I cannot believe that anyone could possibly be so horrible.

When I was little, our neighbors had these cute little maltese dogs, and my mom went out to check our mail and saw one had been hit in the road. - Well, before she could go out there and see it, a man in a white truck drove past and *swerved* just to run over the poor little dog already hurt in the road. Needless to say, that killed the poor thing.

[dlambertz]

I just bought a new big truck.. wonder where the truck man is. I need to put a few miles on my big new truck LOL!

[muckypaws]

RRrrrr. Poor little dogs. How terrible. I don't knoe what's wrong with some people.:mad::madsmiley::swearing:. They were someones world.

[lovingpaws]

I found this, so hopefully it won't be long till this person IS found and made to pay for it.



Odds are much better when there are witnesses, said Ransom, who was an animal control investigator for 24 years.
If that's the case, then the driver of a Ford pickup who ran over two dogs on Highway 74 in Valle Vista near Hemet Saturday may have to answer for his actions.
Several witnesses told investigators that the truck swerved to strike a Labrador retriever named Buddy and then made two U-turns before hitting the second dog, an Alaskan malamute called Lucy.
Witnesses said several people were screaming for the driver to stop while he tried to plow into the animals and then made a third U-turn in an apparent attempt to strike a man who was trying to pull the dogs out of the road.
Police are still looking for owner of a diesel-powered silver truck with raised suspension and loud exhaust that some residents said had been seen in the area before. http://www.press-enterprise.com/news/NEWS_cruelty18.html

It certainly sounds like whoever did it is going to be found, with that many witnesses and that precise a description!
