I have never heard of tasering as a way to control an animal. Any animal.
If the cops were unsure of how to handle the animal, they could have monitored the animal and only intervened if it became obvious that the dog was a threat to another human.
Meanwhile a call should have been made to someone who knew how to handle such dogs and wait for their arrival.
Am I the only one? Why don’t cops carry dog treats in case they run across an animal that is obviously out of place?
You’re not the only one. It really makes no sense.
Is this what the cop would do if he was walking his neighborhood and saw an unknown dog? Get his gun and shoot it?
Do they have no common sense about dogs at all, never been around them? Do they suddenly become dog-dumb when they put on the badge?
Is this just a city cop thing? I cannot imagine what would happen in my country town to a cop that shot somebody’s dog in this circumstance.
Beats me. It would take away most of the “chances” to shoot?
I’ve known more than one mailman or deliveryman online, and almost to a one they simply made friends with the dogs on their route via Milk Bones and a kind demeanor.
