That makes no sense i definately agree. How can u be so cruel to shoot someone's dog on their property..was it too much to ask the owner to put the day away.

More dogs being shot by police. What an outrage. This one, too, was completely unjustified.

You know my whole thing is I'm not one that is going to go against some of the decisions law enforcement officers have to make... I get it, it's a tough job, you don't want to lose your life, they can often be scrutinized for things that they maybe did not have a choice for... but THIS ... is appalling. It's happening FAR too often and in many cases is completely uncalled for.

Example: let's say a cop is in a bad city, there's a loose Pit Bull (or any large breed 'intimidating' looking dog) running down the street (no collar/no tags/no owners in sight) and the cop shoots the dog for his own protection. To me, that's understandable. Now a cop is called to a non-emergency call at someone's house, gets out of car, and shoots a persons dog on THEIR property? Completely uncalled for. Hell, even while on an emergency call, if they are going through OTHER peoples backyards and happen to come across a dog... it is WRONG for a dog to be killed in his own backyard.

They actually did a story on Inside Edition the other night so I am glad some light is being shed onto this. Check out the page Dogs Shot by Police for more stories, it's happening too often.
