What will happen to dogs?
Capt. John Bowman said the Tulsa County sheriff’s office is asking that the three dogs — a Labrador, a blue heeler and a mixed breed — be euthanized. The dogs currently are being held at the Tulsa Animal Shelter.
An animal rights group opposes that decision. Christy Counts, president of the Central Oklahoma Humane Society, said she thinks the dogs could be rehabilitated.

“If the animals aren’t suffering, absolutely they shouldn’t be euthanized. They should be put with a reputable organization” and given a new home, Counts said.

While working at Oklahoma City’s animal shelter, Counts said she came across one bestiality case. The dog ran away from its new home because it became so distrusting of people after the incident, she said.

“That dog was so emotionally shattered,” she said. “It’s so anti-nature.”

He said he understands the argument for trying to save the lives of animals who have been taken advantage of, but from a public safety point, he said he didn’t know whether these dogs could be saved. “These animals are sexually aggressive,” he said.

Putting the animals to death is what the Bible commands. The person also. I say the person first.
