14. Drug dealers have been known to have this done...
to dogs (pit bulls mostly), to guard the premises where their lab/stash is kept.

Apparently they would rather an intruder (or the cops), not have any warning that the dogs are present and be mauled instead.


In my personal experience... years ago I used to date this girl from Florida and one year I agreed to go back home with her to visit her parents (BIG mistake that was :o ).

Her father was a text book, good'ol boy that could have been a character from "In The Heat of The Night".

He had 3-4 hunting hounds that he kept in the backyard (were never allowed in the house), that were de-barked.

I was tempted to ask him why, but I was already on shaky ground as it was. :smoke:
