Save Congo
Ed, I’m calling about “dog’s fate.” Let me get this straight. A gardener goes into the yard when he’s not supposed to be there and was warned not to get out of his car, but he gets out of his car, attacks the dog with a rake, assaults a woman, the dog’s mistress, and then the dog is ordered put to sleep? And this man gets a $250,000 settlement. Is this a joke? Hey, judge. Hey, lawyer. Please let me have your jobs. I’ll do the right thing. Step down please, you are all total asses. I wonder how much Michael Vick would have gotten for this.

According to the facts of this case, Congo was clearly provoked into attacking Giovanni Rivera. Mr. Rivera and his landscaping crew clearly made some very poor choices on June 5th, 2007. His first error was when he and a member of his crew chose to ignore warnings from Mr. James who requested that they remain in their car until the dogs were contained in a safe area. His second error was in allowing one of his workers to attack the dogs with a metal rake. His third, and most extreme, mistake was in grabbing Guy's wife, Elizabeth James, and pulling her to the ground, causing her to cry out in fear. In my opinion, Congo acted in a manner consistent with that of an animal protecting his owner from harm. He was provoked and defended his owner by biting and scratching Mr. Rivera. For all that dog knew, his owner was about to be beaten, raped, or murdered, and he acted instinctively to protect her. Congo should not be euthanized. He should be returned to his owners.
The story isn't really about Congo. To my estimation, Congo and Mr. Rivera (money be damned, pain is pain.) are the victims in this tragedy. Point being, Congo did exactly what he was supposed to do, if it looked as if his owner was being attacked. However, no one touched her until Congo was coming in their direction. The owner would be the one that could stop Congo from approaching. This part of the sceanario is clear. However, let's be real. The owner hired the so-called illegal immigrant. The immigrant was on his property. He was expected to be there. Let's forget about if a message was given regarding time to work or not work at this moment. They were their, perhaps they could not stay, they could have possibly had other jobs to complete that day. But, let's get back to the real facts of the matter. None of this would have happened if Congo's owners, had not hired what they supposedly deem to be an illegal immigrants. No harm to Congo, the puppies, the Mrs., Mr. Rivera, no insurance pay out, nothing. Should Congo have to be put down, it's the pwners fault for having an illegal or anyone else on the property when Congo was not restrained. The owners are at fault and hopefully Congo won't have to pay for THEIR ignorance.
