What burns me is that dog behaviour is learnable, as is how to avoid problems with all but the most aggressive dogs. Yet we still hear of these incredibly stupid and cruel acts. These guys are supposed to be experts in dealing with irrational thugs and yet they are clueless when it comes to a dog?
Should cops spend maybe a fraction of their time on this? Or, at the least, told to walk away and call someone capable?
I have never heard of tasering as a way to control an animal. Any animal.
If the cops were unsure of how to handle the animal, they could have monitored the animal and only intervened if it became obvious that the dog was a threat to another human.
Meanwhile a call should have been made to someone who knew how to handle such dogs and wait for their arrival.
Am I the only one? Why don’t cops carry dog treats in case they run across an animal that is obviously out of place?
