Local news story made me chuckle (stolen? dog)

The Raleigh paper this AM reports a shelter adoption day at a local Petco had a dog grabbed by a young man who then ran away.
There is a $1000 reward up for grabs.
I think that they are missing the point. They had to home the dog, so somebody did. I don't see the crime here.

    It's called theft. Theft means taking something that doesn't belong to you without permission regardless of "good" intent. This dog is now going to going to someone who has not been vetted properly. There's no telling what this person's intent was-does he want a pet? Is he going to abuse it? Nope, no good here. What he did was illegal and immoral. Do I sound harsh? Don't care.


    I agree with you. It's just plain wrong what they did. If they had good intent, they would not have done that.
  • If it was stolen to train fighting dogs then it will have a very short life of pain and misery. Not everybody has good intentions.
