Damon Labbe was arrested by the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office following a report of the dead animals near his home. The dogs involved were a 4-year-old golden retriever named Buddy and an 8-year-old rat terrier named Poupe. Both animals belonged to 76-year-old Gerald Trahan, who said the dogs were killed after he accidentally left them at Labbe’s residence Friday morning.
quote:

I drove up there, there was my dog, head’s gone, blown off full of blood, and I started crying. I picked him up and put him on my tailgate,” Trahan said. Following the discovery of the first dog, Trahan searched for his second pet with help from his wife and a neighbor. His neighbor eventually found the rat terrier dead in the grass nearby. “Well, come to find out, he shot that one, too, she was laying in the grass like she was trying to get away, and he shot her in the stomach,” Trahan said. A neighbor who assisted in the search for the dogs said she spoke with Labbe following the incident. She reported that Labbe claimed he thought the animals belonged to a different neighbor. “He walked outside and at that time told me he thought that it was his neighbor’s dog, and that he had felt bad. To which I then replied, you know, there was no reason to shoot any dogs,” the neighbor said.


This makes me absurdly angry. Why are Louisianans so fricking retarded?

Lack of compassion. Lack of respect for life. Lack of respect for other people’s property. That usually starts with poor parenting and no moral center.

Good chance there are other things on this weirdo for the cops to find. Even trashy redneck types don’t just go around shooting dogs in the street.

More from a different article.


quote:

The incident began Friday when Gerald Trahan drove to meet a friend, identified by authorities as Damon Labbe (49), to exchange crawfish products. Trahan told KATC the meeting was going smoothly until he left Labbe’s residence. Sgt. Cormier said Trahan had his golden retriever and rat terrier in the bed of his truck, "as he often does."


quote:

Shortly after driving away, Trahan realized the dogs were no longer in the truck. Five to six minutes after leaving, Trahan said he called Labbe. “‘They’re at your house. I’m coming to pick them up,’” Trahan recalled telling Labbe. “And he said, ‘I just shot a dog.’”


quote:

Trahan said he buried his dogs later that day. He also received a citation for alleged violations of local leash laws in connection with the incident. ”My dogs did get out the truck for a good five, six minutes," Trahan said, "and within them five or six minutes or whatever, they were dead. So I don’t know if a leash woulda done em any good."

The man with the dogs was buying crawfish at Labbe’s house and they jumped out and went in his back yard. Labbe then kills them for no reason

Actually a very realistic possibility, since it’s well known that serial killers often are known to be animal abusers.

I dont understand this part

Guy shots a customer’s dogs for no reason?

Surely the guy has priors, no sane law abiding person makes it to that age and just shoots dogs

From what I've read, the old dude had them in the back of his truck when he went to buy crawfish from the shooter. They jumped out when he parked. He made it a bit up the road and realized they weren't there. He went back and the dude had already shot his dogs.
