Well since none of us was there, and I haven't read any more about it, it's really hard to tell if he was acting in self defense or not...not that I"m standing up for anyone that literally beat a dog to death...I'm sure there was a better way to handle it.
Sounds like the Falcon's got a bunch of winners on their teams....**please note extreme sarcasm**

 

Sounds like self defense to me (*from what the article reported*). ..with peta once again looking like hypocrites.

 

The article is terribly vague on details. It would be nice if the article actually said what the guy claimed happened and what the "inconsistencies" were between his stories and the injuries. If it was self defense, why didn't the guy at least, immediately take the dog to a vet after beating it up to protect himself? It sound like after whatever happened, the guy just left an obviously distressed dog lying on the floor. That doesn't seem right.

I've never heard of the spinning the dog thing. Seems like a good way to make an angry, aggressive dog, angrier, more aggressive and dizzy....which doesn't seem like a good plan to me. Anyone ever heard of that technique. Thoughts?

Remind me though, if I am reborn a dog, to stay away from Atlanta Falcon players...actually, I think I'll stay away from all pro-sports players and celebrities in general.
