Since the time when I posted this , i have seen several other instances of dogs being unnecessarily shot and killed by Law Enforcement. It might sometimes be necessary to do this, but many times, it seems to be their first option, whether it is necessary or not.
I just read about a beautiful family pet, a Newfoundland, so a large dog, but not an agressive one. Rosie had apparently gotten out of her yard, but when they tried to catch her, she jumped back over the fence and into her own back yard. The police then decided to tazer her, and subdue her that way, even though she was not causing any harm to anyone. After they tazered Rosie, she paniced, and jumped back out of the yard, and ran down the street to a neighbors yard; where she was then shot and killed.
During this time, the family who owned Rosie, and could have simply called her into the house if allowed to, were ordered by police to stay in the house and not interfere, since it was dangerous for the family to be outside while the officers were shooting guns.
