But I thought people that bullied and caused death went to jail.

Ok...that sucks for his family and friends...but really? The only alternative(s) he could come up with were to put down the dog and then kill himself?

He had problems bigger than the condo board.

Generation_D: Look, it sucks the condo board were a bunch of asshats, but a 47 year old single man who loves his dog more than life itself has options, like say sell the effing condo and move. The tragedy here is the dog was adopted by a big p*ssy. When push came to shove, he killed his own dog because some other idiots told him to. Then compounded that by being too much of a coward to live the rest of his life learning from his mistakes.

The condo board can EABOD anyway, because condo boards are drunk on their own power and usually always full of themselves. But the issue I still see is why is this guy staying in his swanky address where they don't want mean scary dogs, or dogs of any kind apparently. He had 2 years to figure something out besides completely mess everything up.

// 51, owns dogs, lives in a condo. I'd sue the board if they started crap like this, then we'd look to sell.

I was going to say something, but you beat me to it.

My friend Rich (co-worker), who handed me this story this morning knew this guy very well as he lives a couple buildings down and is also a part-time actor.

He knew him and his dog for many years so he's pretty distraught.

So from Subby and Richard, EAT a real big bag of D*cks condo board.

TheYeti: He had problems bigger than the condo board.

Word.

Sounds like the perfect, stable kind of dude that should own a dog capable of killing people.

That was my first thought. There's no way I'd put down my pets just so I could live some place. I wouldn't get rid of them either, but he could have brought his dog to a no-kill shelter. The one I used to volunteer at took in pitbulls regularly and they had a pretty good adoption rate.

I see nothing in the article that explains why he put his dog to sleep. FTFA:
"The board began its war against canines in 2010, enacting a series of oppressive rules.

Dogs were forbidden from riding in the main elevator or from being left alone in apartments for more than nine hours.

Breeds like Rocco - whom Santino adopted from a shelter - were outlawed, though he was grandfathered in."

How is any of that a war against dogs? Where I live doesn't allow dogs in the elevator either, due to them pissing and shiatting in it, and the owners not cleaning it up. Boo farking hoo, I have to take the stairs to walk my dog. And the fact that they mention they're banned from the main elevator would seem to apply there's still an elevator available to take dogs in.

Not leaving a dog locked up all day in a condo by itself seems like a humane rule. Hire a dog walker or take the dog to doggy day care. Don't leave a dog locked in a small condo all by itself all day every day.

And while pitbulls were banned, it specifically mentions the one in question was grandfathered in.

Really, that's a "war on dogs"? And there's not a single mention of anything bad the condo board did towards this man or his dog.

Sounds more like a case of someone battling depression (and losing) and his friends/family trying to scapegoat the condo board.

F**king condo associations always win, Submitter.

Mean, aggressive and potentially dangerous animals that can cause others harm should be banned from living in condos. This is only common sense. And in no case should they ever be allowed to serve on condo boards.

Friggin' condo boards.....I've had to deal the bullshiat involving mine, so I'm really getting a kick out of these responses.

Cool Story Bro:

My Dad had to deal with a similar situation when he was on the home owners' association board last year. A neighbor's pit bull came close to killing other dogs on a few occasions, and when she was told to get her dog out of the neighborhood, she decided to put it to sleep instead.

Being the biatch that she is, she blamed my Dad and flipped him off the next time she saw him.

Fortunately, she moved out this summer and his ex-husband now lives there.

/Dad thought that being on the board would be an amusing hobby since he's retired.
//Quickly learned what a mistake that was.

Contents Under Pressure: That's not a pit bull.



No, no it isn't. I came back in here after reading tfa to say the same thing.

It may be some kind of mix, but it doesn't look like a pit. Not at all.

I've seen it mentioned before, but someone needs to come up with one of those charts, like the one for AK-47s, that shows every breed from Afghan to a poodle, with all the dogs labeled "pit bull".

Whoops.....I meant to type "her".

I don't get why everybody is blaming the condo board. They grandfathered the dog in because they had been living there prior to the "no dogs" rule and had nothing to do with the asshat neighbors bullying this man. OVER A farkING DOG.

Granted, the guy more than likely had underlying issues that led him to the sad conclusion to end himself after putting his dog down, but his neighbors are farking adults and should have acted the part. If I thought any of those people had a conscience, I would hope that the guilt of literally nagging a man to death hangs over their heads for the rest of their miserable lives.
