So here's the deal. Basically I'm pretty mad they just decided to shoot the dog but I'm willing to give the police officer the benefit of the doubt about that because of the dogs breed, which is pitbull. Let me say that the dog was the nicest dog around and we have never had a problem with him ever. He was nice to other dogs, and people his entire life, even to the point of being docile. So anyway, heres the story....
We put the dog in the back yard on a chain with a collar that has spikes in it that tightens as he pulls. He somehow escapes his collar and runs around the neighborhood. This isn't the first time hes gotten loose. He usually just runs around the neighborhood untill one of our neighbors brings him back. So... apparently, one of the neighbors had a rottweiler that was also loose by accident. So allegedly my pit killed the rottweiler and when the police arrived the dog went after the police officer and the police officer shot the dog.
I think the officer was quick to act based off of the history and nature of the dog but you never know. But this isn't it, this isn't the worst part of the story it gets better. Today in the mail we recieved a $1800 fine from the local magistrates office that we now have to pay. Can you believe that? They are fining us $1800 dollars after killing our dog. I think the rottweiler is a more aggressive breed and i think the dog attacked my dog. I also think the police officer was quick to shoot. I just can't believe it.

So you live in a ghetto neighborhood where people breed mean rottweilers but you own a sugar plum pacifist of a pitbull? That sounds like total B.S.
Who said ghetto neighborhood? I live in a city, albeit a very colorful city but its not a ghetto, yet.

This really is beyond you ,isn't it. You said there was no point contacting the press .
Given,every single incident I posted was completely different,chances of there being one just like this,is slim,but notif the op did contact the press .
Animals attack animals ,all the time . Just watch judge Judy .
My point was,which I proved,is that cops do this all the time,and get away with it.
If the morons go into the wrong home and shoot the wrong dog ,I dare say they are told to just shoot dogs on sight .
I would bet money the cop here ,wasn't attacked at all ,and shot the dog anyway ,that's why I would go to the press.
The op should go to the facebook I posted ,and ask for help ,as this disregard for animals ,by 95% of the alleged people trying to keep the peace,needs to stop .
