“Police across the country renew their annual campaign against dogs and other pets”
Absolutely, they start building up to this campaign in March with meetings, and sharpshooting practice and all. As the weeks tick on, they begin salivating for that first pet-hunting day when they will surely bag their limit. /s
Pets get shot. Sometimes they have attacked the police. Sometimes it just appears they will do so. And sometimes you have an abberant cop who shoots kittens. But don’t paint police with that kind of broad brush. They aren’t gunning for pets. They own pets probably at the same level as the general population and some have put their lives at risk to save their pets, especially their police dogs.
What kind of man shoots a kitten? Not much of one.
Respectfully disagree. There are far too many incidents across the country.
Explain how any Police Force "clearing" a house or a building will not at some point come across a dog who will be naturally hostile to intruders.
The dog will be shot. It is in the nature of department policy and "officer safety" that threats encountered in "dynamic entry warrant service" will be handled expeditiously.
Cops have killed their own K-9s under the influence of this mentality.
It is on the Internet, it must be true.
Best regards,
I will happily use the broad brush. The tales are almost daily. It is a good thing to have a dog in your yard in case the police come to your door to ask a question or raid the wrong address. That gives the officers something to shoot to satisfy their apparent union contract perks so they don’t have to shoot your wife or child. We get cop-shoots-pet pretty often in my own small town. When those dogs are chained up it makes the situation pretty clear.
