When I was working at the humane society we had several cases involving the so-called "party dogs". One idiot even told the interviewer that that was the reason he wanted to adopt the dog. I'm glad I was there to explain and nix it, because she did not know the term. The health dept mandated euthanasia for dogs used thus, and any other dogs in the residence, because of concerns over the zoonotic nature of brucellosis. It's a more extreme response along the lines of the 10 day quarantine for animals accused of biting a human whether or not the animal had been vaccinated for rabies or not. NOT fair to the animals, but the cause of "protecting citizens" often overrules milder solutions.

I like this quote:

Quote:
"It is quite unusual for someone to find a grenade in their backyard, especially one that hasn't been spent," Edmonton police spokeswoman Patrycia Chalupczynska said.

Hi Pat. I'd like to buy a vowel.

Police: GPS sucks, stop using it

Complete with pictures of crashes caused by people following their car GPS directions, even when it leads them astray. Like this:
