OMG, that was HORRIBLE. I can't even imagine. Totally NOT necessary to shoot the dog(s). Ugh. That makes me sick. I don't care WHAT the owner did... the dogs were completely innocent. IMO, that's no different than shooting a young child for no reason, especially if the dogs were behind a gate in another room. Especially because the guy was not being difficult with the cops, he wasn't resisting arrest, he was cooperating for the most part.

When I was 10 yrs old, 2 cops came to my house and HANDCUFFED and arrested my dad... I was terrified. It was just me and him there and the cops were all ready to send me off to social services when my mom lived right down the street. My dad was trying to explain but they wouldn't even listen. Do you know WHY he was arrested? Our nosy neighbor had sent in over 50 complaints about our dog barking... over 50!!! They couldn't just come knock on our door and politely ask us to stop the dog from barking which she didn't even do obsessively. So what happened was he missed courtdates because they were overlapped (he would have like 2 scheduled at the same time, etc, he had to go to oevr 50 court dates). Was it necessary for the cop to come knocking on our door, put my dad directly in handcuffs, off to prison (he spent 1 1/2 days there, stripsearched like a criminal)... are u kidding me?! UGH, I was so angry, it infuriates me thinking about it. Just unnecessary.
