That town doesn't have an animal control unit to have called in for backup?

Now this is a good question, I do not know.

Apparently they don't. They don't even have a dog pound, but I guess you don't need one if you gun down every stray. Saves money feeding them, I suppose.

I am still looking into if they have animal officers or not. Still no luck.

Did you see how easy it was to scare the both of them, all the dog did was pull back in fear of the pole and they both pulled their weapons. Yet they could lease the dog no problem.

Ignorance is seen on that video plain and simple.

If money is that much of an issue, perhaps they should have just dragged it back to the station. Could've saved a bullet.
Any one viewing that video would just assume that the officers tied the dog up in hopes the owner would find him. Of course, they would return with fresh water and maybe even a treat on their next pass.

Well said the dog was laying down to begin with and was not threat then , why would they decide to do things differently?

I guess ROOKIE states this all.

Well this incident happened June 11th, so there has been a few days to cover this, and none yet.

We'll see though.

Man I really wish there were laws that such cruelty had punishments equivalent to humans. This cop should be brought on charges and needs to spend a long time behind bars. Animal cruelty in any shape or form should not be tolerated. Animals are the last bastion for human morals.

What I couldn't believe is how calm the dog is to begin. He's leashed and laying down, why use the pole?

It defies logic.

It's not like I have pitbulls.

See, that's part of the problem though. Hype, propaganda and stereotyping, combined with hate. A deadly mixture as we see in the video.

'Pit bull' conjures up images of a preternatural animal, a crazed killing machine with tendencies like Cujo, (the possessed dog from a Steven King book/movie).

It's ridiculous.

I've known collies and cocker spaniels that bite anything that moves of looks at them sideways.

Hell, half my brothers face was taken off by a collie when he was 3 but on the other hand I had a pit bull my daughter could dress up in baby clothes.

Combine that stereotype with cop(s) that have the same outlook on life as you.

I hate humanity.

They 'hate' humanity. As you state you do.
They're set and ready for Cujo's cousin here to rip their throats out as (purportedly) the dog has already attacked people.
IMO it's for exactly those reasons, hate, stereotyping and hearsay this situation escalated to tragedy.

The same can be said for the cop that punched the teen girl in the face the other day.

No, I'm not defending their actions.

I'm saying people have to STOP HATE of all kind... And STOP judging people, and animals a like.

This video is a prime example of when hate and stereotyping goes too far.

peace
