Keeping Your Dog Safe from Law Enforcement - Page 5

Only one left to go shot while sleeping! I have read shot while chained, shot while leashed, shot while crated, shot while running away and just in,  shot on a catch pole.

YUMA, Ariz. -- A Yuma police officer shot a dog that was acting aggressively Sunday morning.

A woman called authorities regarding two dogs at large in a business complex in the 1000 block of West 24th Street. She said one of the animals had been aggressive toward her, according to the Yuma Police Department.

While approaching the two dogs, a Yuma animal control officer was attacked by the aggressive dog.

The officer was able to keep the dog at bay with his catch pole, however, the dog charged at a police officer who had arrived to help. The officer subsequently shot the animal.

The wounded dog, which had no collar or microchip, was later euthanized.

The second dog ran away from the area and was not located. 

Any witnesses to the incident are asked to contact the Yuma Police Department at 928-373-4700 or 78-Crime to remain anonymous.

 



A woman called about dogs acting aggressive towards her?

I am a bit puzzled here?  I would have shot the dog as well.... sorry. Oh better yet the dumb owner to allow this to happen? It would have never happened if the dogs where home where they belong, right?

So no need to protect these dogs from cops, IMO. They got was they deserved   :(


sorry guys I just had to say this little bit. I know some are not going to be happy about it



 

BE--are these dogs that were killed by LEOs?  : (

They are. I guess they got the memo.

Slamdunc

Obviously these Officers and every Officer I know did not get Gigante's memo in roll call.

I suppose your handful and localized officer friends have never heard or said, "what ever it takes to get home to your family safely", quotas for tickets, "them or us", and so on.  There are plenty of unspoken and locker room rules that are suppose to be adhered to. Posting three videos of dog rescues. Are you really that naive? How adorable. 

 

I can post hundreds more of police doing it right while a camera is rolling, does this somehow change the idea that they cant do it better?

Are you all in on shooting a chained, leashed, crated, choke polled, backing up, senior, puppy, and or 5 pound Chihuahua three times with 9mm hollow points. There is plenty of evidence that more training is needed. Please put your Pom Pom's down as Im not trying to bash LEO. So they wont be requiring a herky from you. Besides,  you might pull a muscle. :)~

I think you make the point excellently. A animal control officer answers a call about aggressive dogs. Once on site all is in control. Without firing a shot the animal is on a pole and ready to be put away in the truck. 

Reedited:
 

A dog that charges at an officer after attacking another is a pretty damn good example of a time to shoot. The dog was on a pole so not sure what happened.  I did not read that the animal control officer stated he was attacked by the dog when he arrived. I was just reading about all the dogs that where pictured above and double tasking, my error on that one. Thanks oregon.

Dogs are going to get out, I would only cheerlead for you shooting the owners if it was habitual. 

Ya, the pets I posted were all killed by the Police. All shot and killed on their own property except Bear-Bear who was killed in a dog park.

The problem I have is the Police shooting and killing pets on their own property. I can understand the Yuma Police killing that aggressive dog(s) in the link above.

But when the Police hop threw yards at random and "RAID" wrong houses .. then shoot and kill a dog for being a dog on it's own property an given 100% immunity .. well .. obviously I have a problem with it. It's criminal and illegal in mulitiple Amendments of the US Constitution and my dog depends on me to keep her safe at home.

Why the Police would have to shoot 5 bullets into a 5-6 pound chi chi to kill it instead of kickin' the little bugger away from him is beyond me. I'm talking 5-6 pounds of dog vs 200 pound man .. that Officer was/is nothing but a pussy arse punk with a badge and trigger finger. 

I'm just glad (knock on wood) the PA State Police out on the Interstate and my local Dept. Police don't hire these types, everyone knows and respects everyone's property. It's crazy to even read this kinda disrespect of life and property by "Peace Officers" on the internets.

Gezzzz the horses are more aggressive and protect property better than the dogs n bulls around here, everyone has horses -- what's next ? Police hoppin threw pastures and bull pens and killing everything that charges at em' ? NOT !!! 

Gigante,
How long have been you in Law Enforcement?  Since you are so experienced with what goes on in a locker room why don't you fill us in on your expertise?  It would be nice if people even read the entire link that the OP posted than had an intelligent comment to add.  

For new PDB members please be very careful when reading information posted here.  Misinformation is rampant on this site as it can be on any internet forum.  There are many members who offer advice or make statements out of a bias, pure ignorance or lack of experience.  Some posters actually have good intentions but do not realize how dangerous the advice they give can be.  Before taking any advice on this forum click on the user name and read some of their other posts.  Judge for yourself whether they  have any actual knowledge or experience based on their posts.  Search the message board for other posts by the member or search for information.  For example, be careful of "Fluffy's" owner giving advice on how to handle aggressive dogs.  There is a post recommending grabbing your aggressive dog and biting it on the face.  There are a few members on here that offer excellent and sound advice, seek them out.  Be very wary of the self proclaimed experts and breeders that regularly contribute but have no actual working knowledge or experience training or working dogs.  I realize I am off the original topic of this thread.  There is so much misinformation posted on this thread by members who have no clue, and just post drivel.  

I love dogs and have owned them all of my life.  Obviously, I do not want any harm coming to any dog.  I feel sympathy for any one losing their  pet under any circumstances.  I have commented on threads like this before and doing so is generally a futile effort.  I will refrain from commenting any further on this thread.  

Unfortunately, we're going to have to turn it up a notch;

BE, for me....... What are you attempting to accomplish or prove? What is it that is really bugging you? What do you want people to hear you say? Anyone, with time on their hands can produce good or bad information on any subject out there!

Next, just for me, tell me what your profession is? And if you have tenure? If you like, love your job? And if you think you're good at it or not? After all that tell me if you/overall your job, would love to be scrutinized by others who don't work let alone know your job. Having an idea or opinion is not KNOWING the job! Now for your job did you spend six or 7 mos in an Academy  or an Academy type atmosphere? And once at your job did you complete more rigorous/advance training to determine if you were competent to work by yourself? And after that did/or were you under a probation for one or two years to see how you performed your job?

I would venture to say "NO" to all/any of those questions. We are entitled to our opinions.............I'll agree to that. To go to an extreme, or overboard, or over the edge in my eyes and (I believe I have the experience to state that), is wrong! 

First and foremost! You have no facts of each and every situation. You were not there. Are any of these dogs yours? If so, then you possibly have the facts to that situation. You, I would think only know what the reporter wants/wanted you to know. Unless some one of these individuals are your friends? And if that was the case then you would not be a partial/non-biased commentor.


When individuals are so animate about a subject there usually is an underlying stimuli and it's just not this thread that things are evident.

I'm a firm believer in freedom of speech. I'm not a believer in people talking smack. And I believe if someone can dish it out they better be able to take it. Also, if they dish it out make sure they can prove it. Bringing forth a picture or article only proves a dog was shot or killed. The person who shot or killed the dog happened to be a LEO. Those are the facts. Each case is different in their own way and those facts WE are unaware of . I'm bewildered because there are many bad, terrible things going on in our world, our time and the duties of a LEO seems to be a hot topic by certain individuals? When you have some free time on your hands put up some pictures or articles about LEO doing their job on and off duty and I might look at you differently...........................






 





 

Ouch slamdunc,

But if your going to mock someone, you should expect a volly back as well. I, as Ive stated dislike how these threads go. If. in any way. you try and look for a way to reduce the numbers or throwout an idea your labelled as arm chair or mocked, as you did. I think its a important thread and the more it occurs, hopefully we can all get along and try and see where everybodys coming from. I, like some think the numbers reflect my opinion.

I dont have to be in government, to see and understand some of its errors. If we waited for government organizations to fix things that are wrong on thier own, would anything get done, quickly? Or ever?

We are on a dog forum, you would think alot of people would have a lot to say about this topic. Maybe its the mocking and the f the police, that keeps us the served and them the servers from posting any of there ideas or thoughts. Thats crap and as stated, unproductive.

I presented my position clearly. What happens to these dogs on their own property is criminal. Im not going to argue. Have fun with it.

I began this thread because the article in the first post had some good advice from LEOs on how to help protect our dogs.  Slam and alboe, I appreciate your service to the community.  I did not start this thread to criticize or bash LEOs, but to help all of us to protect our dogs.
