DOG VICTIM OF SPITBALL ATTACK
Posted by rdows on February 5, 2008
This dog was lifted off his feet, and thrown by the impact of a spitball
The photo above was taken at the moment of impact by the dog’s owner who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation by a gang of vicious spitballers. The owner said she had just put her two male dogs out for a bit of exercise when they were attacked. The force of the spitballs actually levitated the hapless dog, and threw him through the air.
The dog’s owner, obviously upset, had just picked up her camera to photograph her dogs when the attack took place. “They appeared out of nowhere.” she said sobbing. The attackers disappeared just as instantly, according to the owner. Her neighbors saw nothing. All that remained were spitballs littering the yard, and sticking to the dogs.
“Why can’t they do something about these spitballs?” asks the owner. That is a question asked all to frequently.

Spitballs are simply spitballs, like any other projectile, no worse. They are popular right now, and easily acquired. Before it was just plain spit, then gum, tobacco spittal, watermelon seeds, goobers, etc. All of the afore have had their day in the sun….and what they all have in common is the potential to be abused by the spitter.
Responsible spitters use spitoons, the grass or dirt, the toilet, trash or sink. It is not fair to punish those who spit their spitballs in appropriate places by taking their spitballs from them. This does nothing to correct the problem. People who use their spitballs to attack others are law breakers anyway! It is the action that is WRONG; not the thing being used!
Outlaw spitballs, and those who spit paper at people will continue doing so since they are already lawbreakers, or will simply resort to spitting something else. Will you then want that thing criminalized until there is nothing to spit?!!
I enjoy spitting paper. I keep my spitballs on my property or in my mouth at all times, have learned to spit accurately into the proper receptacle, and do not ever use them to harass others.
I do not see why I should have to pay for the criminal acts of others by losing my spitballs.
Punish the guile; not the projectile!

It is a good thing the owner of these dogs wanted to remain anonymous otherwise there would prolly be vicious gangs of Petans and ARs with Bob Barker & Ass.Nelson as the leaders pounding at the door because of the 2 gonad intact bully breed dogs.
