Are the mail men aloud to pepper spray dogs? I just watched are mail dude pepper spray my Chihuahua

I'm from san Antonio and my uncle is a retired mail man and yes they are if they feel threaten by the dog they can pepper spray them but if your dog wasn't trying to attack him then no he shouldn't have did that to your dog i would call your post office and speak to someone or report him

I think so

@rikki.ferguson, yeah. I feel like that power would be abused real quick. Case and point = chihuahua. My dogs have really deep barks so people are nervous when they hear them and then surprise, they’re lazy and friendly basset hounds.

@dbarton041 me too. I'd probably go pepper spray that motherfucker. Like who is threatened by a Chihuahua? I have pitbulls and they bark at people, never attack. I'd be pissed if someone did something to them just because the person was nervous when the dog did nothing.

@rikki.ferguson, agreed. I’m kind of blown away that they are allowed to pepper spray dogs at all.

He shouldn't have done anything unless he had a reason to do so.

Lmfao I get it...they get paid shit and their job sucks. Don't bring us into your misery 😒 seriously, just put the mail in the box or get the hose 💦 @worlds.okayest.mom

Yes!!!! Our USPS dude gets SO pissed off. We have a box that locks because I don't trust the crack heads walking down the street and we get checks a lot. If I don't empty it every day he comes to our door bitching. When I was on bed rest, he wouldn't shut the fuck up. He also bitches about our fence. I don't even want you on my fucking property homie, I'll fix my fence when I want. @kambam

Dude I fucking hate usps lol. So many times they've fucked up. I've also been living at this place for 6 months and can't get a mail key for some reason?? Like it's a goddamn video game quest to get almost so I've given up and try to catch the guy when he's putting mail in 😂😂 usually they're moody about how full it is too 👋 over it. Usps either needs to up their game or get phased out @worlds.okayest.mom

@kambam they don't do jack shit anyway 😂😂. Our old mailman misdeliviered mail every fucking day. I called, complained and even went down to make a complaint. They called him on the spot and said it must have been someone while he was on vacation. They shrugged and said "oh well." He misdelievered my wedding jewelry and it got sent back to Europe, that's not an "oh well."

I know it's fucked up but people fuck with pets all the time. And unless you're ballin and have a lawyer you can't do anything about it so I always tell people keep their pets close. Poor baby I'm sorry.

@kambam lol shes a old dog you can look at her and see that she's old 😂 she has like 4 teeth

He obviously felt threatened 😂 you can call and make a complaint. If your dog gets injured they aren't gonna do jackshit about it sadly

@kambam she didnt do anything but bark at him

I mean...they're just trying to do their jobs and not much you can do besides keep them in. Lots of reasons to keep your dogs in actually shit scares me these days.

According to USPS yes.
