VERNON TOWNSHIP — A labrador retriever was shot and killed by a police officer Saturday, sparking concern among local animal rescue groups as township police said an investigation is underway.

The three-year-old dog, named Hiro, was an Eleventh Hour Rescue alumni, according to that organization.

The founder of Buddha Dog Rescue & Recovery, Nicole Asher, said she was in the Scenic Lakes neighborhood, a private lake community, to help with a case of a lost dog when she saw other police responding to the scene.

According to Vernon police, they receive a call on Saturday about an aggressive dog along Tall Oaks Drive. The person calling in the complaint said that a dog was running loose in the neighborhood and had come close to him, while growling.

The responding officer walked down the street and spoke with another resident, who said the dog belonged to a neighbor. While the officer was on the road, police said the dog ran up to him and began to aggressively charge towards him, without listening to commands to stop. The officer then drew his gun and shot the dog, killing it.

Keep your dog on your property...Then no one, cops, neighbors, etc won’t shoot your dog when it appears aggressive to them.

Dogs being shot in their own yards by police is not uncommon.

It’s just a dog.

Weak minds are influenced by the trends of the day. One of the major trends these days is elevating animals above people.

If you were aware of the brainwashing job performed on you by those who intend to subvert our values, you would think very differently.

But the process is covert, that’s why you never noticed it was being done to you.

Ha ha ha ha! Keep being YOU! Too many others are too afraid. I’ve noticed that you get in there and roll around in the mud here - but with a good spirit. As with our President (and in life) “authentic wins” - no matter how rough hewn.

"elevating animals above people."

Totally off the rails there.

You sound a little too happy to gloat over those bucket of water, couched in a passive aggressive fantasy that it be gasoline.

Your problem is you hate cops.

We NYers don’t beat around the bush. :)

Too bad most of the bush is liberal

But Staten Island is our own little enclave with no subway for the others to get here

BTW, when I do get HATE posts every now and then and you’d think I was the devil incarnate.

So your compliment today really cheered me up.

Thanks and have a great one!

You haven’t noticed that animals are given more importance than human beings?

By the communist press and those who believe them.

A dog is MORE than property. You should know that.

You seemed to be calling me out on that proposition.

You’d be wrong in that regard.

“I have been bitten twice by dogs, both were labs.”

Only once for me, but it was a Lab.

It’s part of the strategy to tear down our country. Denigrate people by making animals objects of worship.

The most effective form of brainwashing is through narrative. The narrative of this thread is to denigrate a cop and encourage animal worship. At least one of the posts is deliberately but passive aggressively bigoted against police.

My dog is more of a protector of me than most cops.

Your dog is not a symbol of American justice.

Some participate in the deliberate tearing down of our symbols.

Others follow them blindly.

I’m trying to tell you the level they operate on. They attack our values and our ideas.

Wise up.
