Works for me you won't get any disagreement from me on that.
However you need to separate and not conflate the two different situations.
If I was the DA I would charge him ESPECIALLY given his past history of negligence.
Is there hypocrisy on this subject? No doubt, we are dealing with humans.
yes, indeed, he does have a past history, but to get him on Animal Cruelty is just down right vengence....
was it irresponsible, yes
was it wrong, yes
was it a real dumb thing to do, absolutely,
but he didn't do it with the intention of killing or hurting his dog.
yes, he did, but he didn't deliberately kill his dog....
what he did was stupid...but when he took his dog into his truck, he wasn't thinking, "I'm going to kill my dog tonight".
and there are witnesses who saw him jump in and try to save the dog, they had to hold him back....
it was a terrible thing to do, however, I cannot and will not, justify, 3 counts of animal cruelty....especially when other people leave their dogs sit in a hot car, intentionally throw a dog away into some dumpster, or the puppy mills....
whoever charged him is nuts....I'm sorry but that person should be fired.
He would have been charged if it was a human who AGREED to go along nonetheless had no choice in the matter.

When you hit someone with your car unintentionally and kill them you get charged with vehicular manslaughter. I don't see why animals should not get the same consideration.

I totally disagree, cuz now your opening another can of worms and each and every circumstance is different.
I am not sure there is a safe way to turn dogs out on a bear.
There isn't and I've hunted on dogs for both bear and pig. Well until Kommiefornia outlawed the practice
However these are sanctioned legal events and those dogs are trained, bred and well taken care of for that purpose also al the dog guides I ever hunted with took great care to try and keep their dogs out of trouble as it is an expensive hit to lose a good dog.
This guy was being a criminaly negligent dumbass not only did he risk his own life needlessly and that of his dog but the first responders that dispatched to the scene. Not to mention the recovery crew to get his truck up off the river bed as it continued to pollute the waterway.
No I'm am of the mind that the DA needs to throw the book at this idiot and if animal cruelty fits so be it.
