Jacaranda FM faces fine for defamation

Good. I would and have attacked another dog to defend mine too.
 
Stupid presenter. The quality of radio presenters is going downhill fast. People talk rubbish on radio for hours. Here in Cape Town we have this guy that talks absolute nonsense for hours on KFM on my way home. It is like he's trying to think out stuff to say all the time and then he raises his opinions that's most of the time quite absurd (not the sharpest pencil in the box). Unfortunately it takes the radio stations too long to realise that they have failures on air that forces one to put on a CD or get another station (which too often is as bad as the one you are trying to get away from).

Where are the great old days of Mark Pilgrim and Alex J?!
 
Great decision ,stupid presenters think they can make their silly opinions into facts without repercusions...about time they be put on a leash together with their beagles.

Garreth cliff is another one that threads a fine line with his opinions.I wont be surprised if someone lays a complaint against him soon.

What was that about opinions and facts? The dogs and the lawyer was apparently never attacked.

However, the dogs did not bite each other.

The lawyer allegedly leaned forward, over the boy, and stabbed the dog, piercing Samson’s lungs, causing him to die barely an hour later.

But he told Beeld that he understood that what he did was wrong.

Yeah ok that puts another spin on it,thanks for pointing it out to us.

Why would he say he understood it was wrong if it was self defense then he would never say he knew it was wrong.I guess theres two sides to this story so how did the BCCSA decide who was guilty here?
 
That lawyer looks more like the idiot in this story. Rest of the people here need to get over themself the DJ was probably just joking around.

Yeah I retract my earlier comment,its beginning to look like the radio presenter was correct after all....sounds like the lawyer was looking to use his knife.Who carries a knife inside a security estate?Was he paranoid or something?

CCTV footage of the incident,not very clear but if two Rhodesian ridge backs had to rush me like that and I had a knife I cant say I would have waited to be bitten before i stabbed em.

They are not exactly small dogs and are normally used for attacking/hunting.
 
I actually know Robbie from PTAWUG, but I must admit I agree with the findings in this case. He did damage a man's reputation.
 
Both ridgebacks have their tails up, looks like they were just over-eager to sniff at the lawyers' dog.

Any dog owner knows dogs well enough to recognise when there is a threat or not - in that blurry video I don't see any threat, I see two over enthusiastic dogs, dragging a kid who probably shouldnt have been in charge of them as he certainly wasnt in control. That is no reason to stab the dog though.
 
Well I'm with the presenter, I'll start carrying a knife when that lawyer is in the neighbourhood.

What is it with lawyers and animals? Last year it was the lawyer that sot a kitten.
 
My Rika (Ridgeback X Boerbul) got confronted by 4 German Shepherds that this skinny oke was taking for a walk. They surrounded him and because I didn't have him on a leash, stupid me (but he listened to me implicitly) I was in a bit of a bugger. One sniff of the poopall too much and he lost his temper - they scarpered with skinny owner running after them. It was funny watching him trying to control 4 big dogs running in different directions. I did help him by instructing Pluto to follow me and walked away. :p I was, a LOT worried when they surrounded him.

If a Ridgeback comes at me, or an animal of mine that I have to defend, I am going to *** in my pants. I don't carry a knife, though I did take to walking with an iron bar after that.
 
I really hope the fine is not based only on this sentence:
“Ek sal maar pasop vir daardie Francois Greeff as ek met my Beagle hond stap, hy sal sommer my Beagle met a mes steek.”

If so it is ridiculous.

This video is not of the incident in question. Someone posted this video of (supposedly) the same breed (boy's dog) showing the 2 dogs running up to a person in the street and then commented on the incident in question. There is no video of the actual incident.

The actual incident involved one (now dead) rhodesian ridgeback and 2 smaller dogs, a boy, a knife and Pta East's own new Chuck Norris.

I will stop now on this topic before being sued by this animal lover....
