i dont know of anyone getting off with a course or whatever but i know a handful of students that have been seriously fucked over for personal amounts, made a lesson of or some bullshit. i think we are all guessing its gone from $20,000 down to what do we think now? $4,000 for a shephard sounds rich to me especially considering we have inbred them to the extent their hind legs often have deformities. my best mate has a pure bred labrador would have been a guidedog was the pick of the litter...less than $,1000 full papers the works...this dog could learn to sit on a rug quicker than i could, humans are not all that superior to animals like we like to think we are. in saying that i doubt an questionably intelligent pig could train an intelligent dog in 10 days, im not sure the pig could keep up.
what ever it costs to train a dog i dont really care...it always seemed to me they were trying to recooperate the cost of training etc in fines and penalties. i mean if they train a dog and it doesnt get any convictions its not going to last long. you honestly think the officer that goes home a sinks a dozen beers gives a flying fuck about the people they are abusing? its just a job a job were they are immune from the average citizen and they often often abuse that i have witnessed it too many times.
policing is a business, same as every other facet of our wonderful society. speed camers = tax machines. pigs walking taxers they couldnt give a shit about anything except bringing in the coin, keeps the courts busy, keeps the lawyers busy, the judges, blah blah blah its just a big money making game their is no morality no common sense no compassion. the sad thing is its usually the poor, disadvantaged, sick or vulnerable that are caught in the game. these people have been brought up not to trust the pigs because nothing good ever comes from them. go to any court house when the games is being played atleast 90% of the people are mentally unwell, aboriginal, from the lowest socioeconomic backgrounds...these people keep getting kicked when they are down, cop this tax, cop this fine, work for dole, do this course blah blah blah
dogs are used to fine and tax people, to generate an income and to recoop some of those training / living expenses...what are you saying they are to save lives? do pigs work on a commission, it often seems as though they do?
