Why would anyone shoot a dog, the kindest creatures there are. This is sick happy hunting.
Dogs aren't kind when strangers are approaching their turf.
Usually the people with this attitude are the people with the least well trained dogs...mind you most people haven't trained their dogs well. I assume the officer had had a bad experience but he must be a huge nancy."Some people view their pets as children, and I am one of those people."
The article is ridiculously melodromatic.
HOW ABOUT 'DEM VIKINGS
-Martok
It's one thing if a vicious unleashed dog is running around. It's quite another for a dog to be barking at strangers, which is their natural inclination. I think that if mailmen can handle it on a daily basis, a cop should be expected to have one-quarter the common sense required to make a humane decision based on the context.

I am talking about you who is always complaining about wasting tax money and police taking too long when people call them wanting either police eqipped with dog nooses and anti bite gauntlets or having two officers with a car getting paid to wait doing nothing until they can contact a dog warden and get them to turn up when someone says a loose dog is being aggresive .What are you talking about?
Just shoot the mutt , its quicker simpler safer and cheaper .
I've rescued half a dozen stray dogs who ranged from terrified of me to hostile. I didn't need any special gear, I wasn't injured, and I didn't need to put a bullet into its skull to do it. And I have no special training whatsoever. I think the issue we're tapdancing around is an NRA-esque mentality about how we have to defend any quasi-remotely-justifiable use of firearms to stave off boogeyman gun bans.

Wait what?
The OP is pro-gun rights and so are many of those who have posted against this kind of shooting. You'll find the evil NRA crowd is quite vocal against the misuse of firearms, especially by agents of the government.
Oh and Tribesman is just reaching to find some sort of hypocrisy in that. Its a far, far reach, but if it can be done, he's the guy to do it.![]()

So, who of you told the police that the dogs were allied to the octosquids?
No wonder they are afraid...
