The issue is not just cops shooting dogs. It seems that many of these gun-happy cops aren’t giving the owners a chance control their dogs, they just shoot on sight. While most of the dogs shot have been pits and rotties, many of the dogs were the non-dangerous types like labs, retrievers, and chihuahuas.
There is a suspicion amongst many of the Freepers that the cops aren’t doing it because they are in danger, but they are doing it to create a compliant populace.
“but they are doing it to create a compliant populace.”
Shooting *my* dog is going to have the diametrically opposite effect.
I know I’ve often said here that I’d “kill or die” for them and that’s a fact.
Last month I jumped in between them and 3 rabid coons.
I -knew- what would come next and after capping the coons, I went and got the rabies shots.
Simple as that.
No “weighing the consequences” or even a second of hesitation.
