I heard a story one time and he swore it was true. In Venezuela one time, the Guardia Civil rounded up some camp stray dogs and formed a circle and began to shoot at the dogs.
The dogs escaped but a couple of GC’s got hit. the spectators cheered as the GC is hated by the populace. Or so went the story.

This is also known as a “Polish Firing Squad.”
