The reason a police dog is attacking in almost every instance is because it is doing it’s job at the orders of his handler and is in the performance of it’s trained duties. The only person who would be inclined to shoot it is the criminal or his partner(s) in crime. Are you trying to justify criminals using deadly force against an officer of the law?
My dog is a family friend, but it does not have the same rights as a human. No matter how much I love it, it is NOT EQUAL to a human life. To believe that it is would make the believer a PETA idiot in my book. I’m not one of those who believe that an animal is equal to a human. If an animal gets sick it gets put down. If it attacks a human it should be killed. If it is a danger to humans, it should be killed.
To kill an animal is not murder. It is wrong, but not in any way, shape or form equal to killing a person. The fact you are trying to justify it as such is wrong. I think people who equate animals as equals to humans are sick in the head.
I agree with you: NO dog should have special rights. So if a state’s law says police dogs are sworn officers and to kill them is murder, I say HOGWASH!!! First, how do you administer that oath? It’s laughable!!! But if you’re going to make it murder to kill ONE dog, the law MUST, under what WAS our system, treat all dogs the same.
And it’s not just bad guys who are attacked by cops’ dogs. Have you looked at how many WRONG ADDRESSES get busted into by cops, both local and federal (or feral)??? I would kill ANY dog attacking me or mine, and I am the farthest thing from a “bad” guy there is. Oh, yes, I’m BAAAD!! All Marines are... but to be targeted, except in error, no earthly reason. Could that error happen? Of course; NONE of us are safe. Would I shoot to defend me or mine? In a New York minute!
No, we agree on this far more than we disagree...
The Nazis had trained dogs to eat Jews This was mostly done by the following members of the Gestapo: Heine, Mueller, Blum, Camp Commandant Willhaus, and others whose names escape me.
People would be beaten till they nearly died, then dogs would then be set on them to tear them to pieces.
