Lucy, a 2-year-old Weimaraner
http://tribalmask.net/dreamin-demon/lucy00.jpg
This is a local story in my neck of the woods. Poor Lucy got hit by a car and the driver sped off, a couple people stopped to help. One man decided to put Lucy out of her misery by bonking her on the head with a hammer. Cant say that would have been my personal choice, especially after someone offered to bring her to a vet. On top of that he was a total tard and it didnt kill her, it only made her suffering worse than it already was. Along with every one who was there. Fucking Idiot, Jackass.
Residents of an North County community are outraged about what happened to a dog after it was hit by a car.
Lucy, a Weimaraner, was hit by a vehicle near the intersection of Valley Center Road and Chaparral Terrace in Valley Center on March 8. Apparently, the driver that hit the dog didn't stop, but several other people did, including a woman who volunteered to drive Lucy to the vet.
Another motorist, though, thought Lucy should be put out of her misery then and there and allegedly took a hammer from his truck and struck Lucy with it.
"He pretty much got vigilante on everbody and decided this animal's fate and that he was the qualified individual to make that call," witness Anna Herrera said. "I don't know if in his eyes he thought it was doing the best thing for the dog, but no reasonable person decides to take an already injured animal and put it out of it's misery by beating in the head with a hammer. Nobody does that."
That, however, was not enough to kill the dog, which was euthanized by a sheriff deputy who shot Lucy after arriving at the scene.
Lucy's owner, Lisa Francis, was shocked her dog suffered so brutally. "It was horrific," Francis said. Francis described the 2-year-old dog as her "protector, best friend."
A makeshift memorial has been set up at the scene for the pet, which Francis said got out when her twins accidentally left a door open.
A San Diego County Animal Services representative said the department is still investigating the incident and will turn over the report to the district attorney's office Friday. Prosecutors will then decide whether to file charges of animal abuse.
Since no charges have been filed, the name of the person has not being released.

Animal control officials are investigating whether a man committed a crime when he bludgeoned an injured dog with a hammerlike item in an attempt to euthanize the dog after it was hit by cars.
"I had to literally cover my ears and scream to block out the sound," witness Anna Herrera said. "To know what he was doing and have to hear it. I heard the dog screaming loudly."
Lucy, a 2-year-old Weimaraner, had gotten out after Lisa Francis' twins accidentally left open a door. A short time later, the dog was hit by a car on Valley Center Road. Several motorists stopped, including a large man and woman who were traveling together and Valley Center resident Mike Goss.
Goss said on Thursday at his home that the guy was "huge," about 6 feet 5 inches tall, weighed 300 pounds, was very angry and described him as "a guy on a mission."
The guy came up and said, "I've seen things like this before," Goss said. "I know what to do," and then he ordered the three other people near Lucy to leave.
Goss said the man also told the woman who was with him, who may have been his wife, to get back to their truck. She refused, and the man ordered her to leave a second time.
Herrera, who had offered to bring Lucy to a veterinarian's hospital, got up and left, crying and screaming. Goss said at that point that he was still kneeling by the dog and the guy again told him to leave.
"He was a huge angry guy holding a hammer-like club, and I was not going to take him on," said Goss, who felt threatened by the man.
Several witnesses said the man struck the dog with the hammer but failed to kill it. He left the scene prior to the arrival of a sheriff's deputy, who put down the dog shortly after he arrived.
The man with the hammer has not been identified.
Dan DeSousa, a spokesman for the San Diego County Animal Services Department, said agency investigators plan to turn over their findings to county prosecutors Friday. It will be up to prosecutors to determine whether a crime has been committed and whether they can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, the North County Times reported.
Under the law, the man's intent when he clubbed the dog matters. The crime of animal cruelty requires prosecutors to prove the defendant acted "maliciously and intentionally" to bring harm to the animal.
DeSousa said the man who beat the dog told investigators he had seen the dog be hit by three cars on Valley Center Road, and he was trying to help her as she lay near Chaparral Terrace.
"He said he felt it was in the best interest of the animal to put it out of its misery and suffering, so he struck the animal with a hammer," DeSousa said. "He believes he was doing the best thing for the animal."
DeSousa declined to release the name of the man under investigation, citing state laws that allow investigators to withhold public information if they believe it might bring harm to a person or their investigation.
